Manager, M&A Value Capture

What you’ll do:

Eaton's Strategy and Corporate Development team is building a mergers and acquisitions integration and separation practice to execute the company's portfolio moves and capture the value each transaction is expected to deliver. The Manager, M&A Value Capture leads assigned acquisition integrations and supports larger integrations, divestitures and other separations, from due diligence through post-close transition. The role turns each transaction's business case into measurable value targets, tracks results against the approved transaction valuation and profit plan, and guides Eaton business teams and acquired employees through a structured, repeatable process, working closely with internal functional leaders and outside advisors. As an early member of a growing practice, the Manager also helps build the playbooks, tools and training that make Eaton's approach consistent across every transaction.
