HR M&A and Movement Initiatives, Vice President

This is a rare opportunity for a high‑potential leader to make a lasting impact on JPMC’s people strategy and to accelerate their career in a global, future‑focused environment. This high‑visibility position offers direct exposure to senior HR and business leaders and requires exceptional flexibility, strong project management skills, and the ability to build trusted partnerships across HR, legal, controls, and other key stakeholders.

As Vice President, HR M&A and People Movement Initiatives, you will play a pivotal dual role within JPMC’s Human Resources organization. As a core member of a small, agile HR M&A team, you will provide end-to-end support for JPMC Corporate M&A transactions across all lines of business – from due diligence through employee onboarding and integration. Given the unpredictable and episodic nature of M&A activity, you will also lead and support a diverse range of projects and business management activities within the People Movement function – including global mobility, cross‑border tax, and immigration – during periods of lower deal volume.

• Support all phases of HR M&A transactions as part of a small, global team, including due diligence, integration planning, and post‑close activities.
• Prepare clear, compelling communications and executive presentations for senior management.
• Ensure disciplined project management and optimal coordination across global HR teams.
• Conduct gap analyses between target companies and JPMC employment policies, compensation, pension, and benefits offerings, assessing impacts on deal valuation and employee experience.
• Analyze service and delivery milestones, facilitate meetings, manage project plans, and oversee issue and risk management to ensure successful integration and program delivery.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with stakeholders across HR, other corporate functions and the line of business deal sponsors.
• Drive the holistic development and continuous improvement of the HR M&A playbook, processes, and infrastructure, incorporating lessons learned and best practices.
• Champion digital and data‑driven solutions – including AI, analytics, and automation – to enhance M&A and People Movement processes and outcomes.
• Lead and deliver People Movement projects, process improvements, and cross‑functional initiatives that support business objectives and operational excellence.
• Partner on business management activities such as budgeting, financial tracking, controls, and team operations.
• Coach and support junior team members, fostering a culture of high‑quality project delivery, collaboration, and continuous learning.

• Strong project management skills; able to deliver results in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment.
• Experience and understanding of key HR product areas – particularly Employee Relations, Compensation, and Benefits.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills for senior audiences.
• Outstanding stakeholder management and relationship‑building abilities.
• Commercial mindset and ability to evaluate HR risks within the context of a deal.
• Analytical mindset with experience using data to solve problems.
• Hands‑on experience with digital tools, analytics, AI and automation tools is a plus.
• Organizational skills and attention to detail; able to manage multiple priorities.
• Self‑motivated, proactive, and adaptable; thrives in an environment of shifting priorities.
• High integrity and discretion with confidential information.
• Advanced PowerPoint and Excel skills; familiarity with project management tools (e.g., Jira) is a plus.
• Experience coordinating closely with technology, finance, and control teams is desirable.
• Prior experience in HR, M&A, global mobility, or business management is beneficial but not essential – we seek a smart, driven individual eager to learn and grow.
