Senior People Partner (M&A)
MoonPayAbout the role
1. About the Opportunity ✍️
We're looking for a Senior People Partner specializing in Acquisitions to own the people workstream across every deal we do. From initial due diligence through to full integration, you'll be the go-to expert ensuring acquired teams are set up for success and that MoonPay's employee experience is maintained throughout.
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of People, Legal, Finance, and Strategy. You will manage TUPE and transfer of employment obligations, lead headcount and organisational analysis during deal assessment, and design and execute integration plans that bring new teams into the MoonPay culture and operating model quickly and smoothly.
You'll work across multiple jurisdictions — US, UK, EU and beyond — navigating different employment frameworks, regulatory requirements, and cultural contexts. The successful candidate brings deep hands-on experience in M&A people workstreams and thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where no two deals look the same.
This role is based in New York and will also provide generalist operational HR support across the full employee lifecycle where needed.
2. What you will do
-
Lead the People due diligence workstream for acquisitions — assessing headcount, employment contracts, compensation structures, benefits obligations, pending litigation, and people risk across target companies.
-
Manage TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings) and equivalent transfer-of-employment processes across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring full legal compliance and a positive experience for transferring employees.
-
Design and execute end-to-end integration plans for acquired teams, covering onboarding, policy harmonisation, benefits alignment, payroll transition, and cultural integration.
-
Partner closely with Legal, Finance, IT and the M&A team throughout the deal lifecycle — from initial stages through to post-close integration milestones — providing people insight that informs deal structure and timelines.
