Role Overview
As a Deal Execution Lead at Larkhill, you’ll step directly into live carve-outs and lead the work.
You’ll coordinate across functions, run governance cadence, manage risk, and hold delivery steady — often in high-pressure, high-visibility situations. Sponsors trust us to keep execution aligned. That trust will sit with you.
What You’ll Own
Build and sequence execution plans across workstreams
Maintain alignment across legal, IT, HR, finance, and vendors
Track milestones and keep sponsor visibility clean
Run structured governance cadence (e.g. WG / ExCo / SteerCo)
Surface and resolve risk early — before it slows delivery
Support clean TSA exits and internal transition handoffs
What We Expect
Experience leading carve-outs, integrations, or complex transitions
Clarity in ambiguity, calm under pressure
Strong operational judgment and stakeholder coordination
Precision in communication — upward, sideways, and down
Discipline and drive — no one needs to ask you twice
What You’ll Work With
Structured Playbooks — reusable methods for TSA, IT, Day 1, and vendor disentanglement
Execution Platform — live risk surfacing, sponsor reporting, and milestone tracking
Aligned Team — other operators who move quickly, think clearly, and don’t need supervision
