Job Summary:

The CEG M&A team is seeking an experienced Project Management Office (PMO) contractor for a six-month engagement to support the execution of a complex, cross-functional HR integration following the acquisition of TheFork. The resource will provide hands-on project management support as TheFork transitions from Tripadvisor-provided services under a Transition Services Agreement (TSA) to a standalone HR operating model, with a target go-live of June 1, 2027.

The role will partner closely with CEG M&A leadership, TheFork HR, the Integration Management Office (IMO), and functional workstreams to drive implementation milestones, manage dependencies, monitor risks, and ensure timely execution of critical deliverables. The ideal candidate is a highly organized, proactive project manager who can operate independently, anticipate issues, drive accountability, and bring structure to a fast-paced, evolving integration environment.

Key Responsibilities

1. Integrated Project Management & Execution

• Maintain and manage the CEG project plan, ensuring milestones, deliverables, dependencies, and accountable owners are clearly documented.
• Proactively identify potential delays, drive follow-up actions, and elevate critical issues.
• Coordinate implementation activities across internal teams and external partners, including Deel and Mercer.

2. PMO Governance & Leadership Reporting

• Manage the CEG governance cadence, including weekly CEG workstream meetings, and integration readiness reviews.
• Prepare status reports, dashboards, and presentations highlighting progress, accomplishments, risks, and key decisions.
• Maintain the program RAIID log (Risks, Actions, Issues, Interdependencies, and Decisions), ensuring timely updates, clear ownership, and appropriate escalation.
• Coordinate meeting agendas, capture decisions, and drive follow-through on agreed actions across CEG workstreams.

3. TSA Exit & Implementation Readiness

• Track critical activities required to exit Tripadvisor TSA services.
• Monitor cross-functional dependencies across implementation, benefits transitions, vendor contracting, technology, and HR operations.
• Support readiness assessments, testing milestones, cutover planning, and transition to business-as-usual operations.
• Identify gaps in implementation readiness and coordinate mitigation plans with functional owners.

4. Cross-functional Stakeholder Coordination

• Facilitate alignment on deliverables, timelines, and dependencies across multiple stakeholders and geographies.
• Drive accountability for outstanding actions and ensure decisions are made in a timely manner.

5. Process Improvement & Documentation

• Establish and maintain consistent project management tools, templates, and reporting processes.
• Identify opportunities to simplify reporting, improve visibility, and reduce administrative effort.
• Ensure key decisions, deliverables, and project documentation are appropriately maintained and accessible.
• Support knowledge transfer and project closeout activities as the implementation transitions to steady-state operations.

Required Qualifications

• 5-8+ years of experience in project management, PMO, HR transformation, or M&A integration.
• Demonstrated experience managing complex, cross-functional projects with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
• Strong understanding of project governance, milestone tracking, risk management, and executive reporting.
• Experience supporting HR technology or HR operating model implementations preferred.
• Advanced proficiency in PowerPoint, Excel, and project management tools.
• Strong communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to work independently, challenge assumptions, and proactively drive deliverables to completion.
• Experience working across global teams and time zones.

Preferred Experience

• M&A integration, divestiture, or TSA exit experience.
• HRIS, Payroll, or Benefits implementation experience.
• Experience working with managed service providers or external implementation partners.
• Familiarity with Workday, Deel, or similar HR technology platforms.
• Experience supporting senior leadership governance and executive reporting.

Role Positioning

This is a hands-on execution and governance role, not a strategy consulting position. The contractor will be expected to take ownership of day-to-day CEG PMO activities, proactively manage the integrated plan, challenge workstream owners when deliverables are at risk.
