After an acquisition: scope the payroll integration leadership hire

Build on the existing content

The M&A guide already covers due diligence, systems and stabilisation. Add the recruitment decision and a permissioned example; retain the useful operational context.

Brief the writer

1. Map entity, country, provider and system differences before defining the role.
2. Separate day-one continuity from longer-term integration ownership.
3. Choose the authority and interfaces needed across the integration team.
4. Assess the candidate’s personal contribution in a comparable integration.
5. Set a hiring brief and handover outcome rather than a generic M&A checklist.

The original asset to add

An integration-complexity-to-leadership brief with clearly labelled example fields.

Evidence to gather

• A relevant approved integration recruitment example.
• Qualified review of any transaction, tax or employment-law statements.

Keep the scope focused

Do not republish the existing legal/process overview or imply every acquisition needs the same director role.
