What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end HR onboarding and integration checklist for each acquisition (from acquisition planning through post-close hypercare), driving milestones, dependencies, and issue resolution.
• Partner closely with the Bluespring M&A team, HRBPs, and acquired firm leaders to align on close timing, people risks, communications, and escalation paths pre- and post-close.
• Collect, validate, and reconcile employee data and required documentation; ensure onboarding compliance (e.g., background checks, I-9) and appropriate employee file creation/retention.
• Cook up with Recruiting and Legal to support offer letter and employment agreement execution as needed for the transaction.
• Cook up with HRIS and payroll on employee setup, data quality controls, and validation of accurate first payroll execution.
• Cook up with benefits on enrollment/eligibility timing, required data collection, and handoffs for administration and billing.
• Plan and deliver day-one onboarding communications and employee orientation sessions to support a consistent, positive employee experience.
• Support org and role harmonization for acquired firms in partnership with HRBPs and leaders (e.g., org structure, reporting lines, role/title alignment), including coordinating job classification inputs and FLSA exemption review support as applicable.
• Support post-close stabilization and HR operations harmonization (e.g., onboarding processes, timekeeping/pay practices, HR policies, manager/employee communications), ensuring clear handoffs to steady-state HRBP/HR Operations ownership.
