THE ROLE

AMD HR is seeking an experienced HR Strategic Programs & M&A Integration Manager to drive high-impact initiatives that advance enterprise priorities, accelerate operational transformation, and support mergers and acquisitions integration. This individual contributor role combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution, partnering across HR and the business to translate priorities into actionable plans and scalable solutions that strengthen HR effectiveness. As a member of the HR M&A team, you will play a critical role in supporting acquisitions through pre-close planning, Day 1 readiness, and post-close stabilization, helping ensure a seamless employee transition into AMD. Working closely with senior HR and business leaders, you will influence outcomes, improve processes, and provide executive-ready insights that drive informed decision-making and measurable business results.

THE PERSON

You are a structured problem solver and collaborative HR professional who thrives in dynamic, fast-paced environments. You bring strong business acumen, sound judgment, and the ability to connect enterprise priorities with practical execution. Skilled at building trusted partnerships, you can influence stakeholders across functions and levels while navigating ambiguity and competing priorities. You are equally comfortable shaping strategy and developing the deliverables needed to achieve results, taking ownership from planning through implementation. With strong communication skills and executive presence, you excel at synthesizing complex information, anticipating risks, and driving alignment across global, matrixed teams.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Partner with HR and business stakeholders to assess complex business challenges, align cross-functional priorities, and develop practical, scalable solutions that support strategic HR initiatives and M&A integration outcomes.
• Manage and coordinate HR M&A integration activities across pre-close planning, Day 1 readiness, post-close execution, and stabilization efforts.
• Develop and maintain integration plans, project trackers, governance materials, executive updates, and key deliverables to ensure alignment, visibility, and successful execution across concurrent initiatives.
• Drive post-close stabilization programs and priority integration activities in partnership with M&A leadership and HR functional teams.
• Implement process improvement initiatives that simplify operations, strengthen controls, and identify opportunities for system enhancements and AI-enabled ways of working.
• Design and execute project and deployment plans with clear governance, change management strategies, milestones, and measurable success criteria.
• Prepare concise, executive-ready communications that provide visibility into progress, risks, dependencies, decisions, and business outcomes.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Experience leading global HR programs, strategic initiatives, organizational transformation efforts, and change management programs.
• Background in HR Centers of Excellence (COE), HR Business Partner (HRBP), HR Shared Services, or enterprise HR operations environments.
• Experience supporting HR mergers and acquisitions integration activities, including pre-close planning, Day 1 readiness, post-close execution, and stabilization.
• Strong business acumen with the ability to quickly understand new businesses, operating models, and HR environments.
• Expertise in program and project management, including prioritization, dependency management, and execution of complex initiatives.
• Experience influencing stakeholders and driving adoption across multicultural, cross-functional, and globally matrixed organizations.
• Proficiency leveraging Microsoft Office applications, AI-enabled tools, and other technologies to create executive communications, project analyses, and decision-ready materials.
• Experience facilitating process improvements and driving recommendations through implementation.
