Impact You'll Make:

• Security Diligence: Lead evaluations of M&A targets’ security posture—organizational structure, policies, processes, technical capabilities—based on TransUnion’s Information Security playbook and standards. Working with M&A targets’ technology and information security leaders, oversee execution of TU-led and 3rd party vendor assessments. Present findings to TransUnion’s executive leadership. Ensure quality of deliverables—including diligence briefings, security integration plans and cost models—and their alignment with overall approach for business and technology objectives.

• Security Integration Planning: In collaboration with senior domain and delivery leads from Global Technology and Information Security, support development of the security integration hypothesis, including merging of organizational structure, processes and security capabilities. Lead technical planning of security integration programs based on results of M&A diligence and security assessments as well as your knowledge of TransUnion’s security posture, technology capabilities, and lessons learned from previous integrations.

• Integration Cost Model Development: Support development of security integration cost models and financial forecasts while ensuring that they coincide and align with broader technology integration assumptions and milestones for the acquisition as well as TU’s strategic direction for information security capabilities.

• Security Architecture & Capability Planning: Working in conjunction of other parts of Information Security and technology teams, own development of security architecture plans and designs in accordance with integration objectives to bring acquired companies up to TransUnion’s on-premise and cloud security standards.

• Security Posture Assessment Tooling: Help drive additional maturity and standardization in use of assessment tooling to evaluate acquired companies’ security postures, particularly for cloud environments. Lead technical adoption of new tools and processes in the M&A playbook.

• Collaboration: Closely collaborate across M&A teams and locations. Address issues expeditiously, define alternative solutions as needed, resolve conflict and create lasting, productive partnerships with stakeholders in acquired entities. Help ensure that resources and organizational structure exist to promote collaboration and meeting of integration objectives.

• Communication: Convey goals and objectives to senior management and project team members in a clear and compelling manner. When necessary, distill technical details to salient points in a manner that is tailored to the audience. Actively listen during meetings and be comfortable clarifying ambiguity or technical areas beyond your comfort zone of knowledge. Produce concise presentations and other deliverables on a timely basis. Promote open communication within the project team.

• Change Management: Recognize the impact culture has on success and, if needed, tailor communication and delivery approach to local M&A teams and stakeholders to achieve outcomes. Effectively position projects and their objectives within the context of acquisition priorities to executives and sponsors. Successfully operate within different organizational cultures and norms to achieve M&A objectives.

• Additional responsibilities related to M&A Information Security Integration to be considered depending on the background and skillset of a successful candidate.
