M&A Technology Service Delivery Lead — Lead TSA delivery for a major media M&A transaction. London, Leeds or Manchester, hybrid.

Following the sale of a major media company’s M&E business, a dedicated Technology TSA Lead is required within the Group Technology Directorate. You’ll establish the operational framework to mobilise pre-drafted TSAs, manage the ongoing delivery of critical technology services to the acquirer during a 24-to-36-month transition window, and plan the clean exit of these services.

What You’ll Own

→ Operationalise pre-drafted TSAs across all in-scope technology domains during the regulatory review period

→ Define governance structures, KPIs, SLAs, and reporting cadences between RemainCo and the Acquirer

→ Stand up Day 1 governance with clear roles, responsibilities, and escalation paths

→ Govern end-to-end TSA technology service delivery post-close

→ Safeguard RemainCo from commercial exposure — scope creep, billing accuracy, cost-recovery

→ Proactively manage risks: service penalties, legal remedies, operational degradation

→ Design and execute exit plans for each TSA; mitigate stranded costs to zero financial tail

What We’re Looking For

→ Proven track record leading complex technology separations, carve-outs, or TSA delivery in large corporate environments

→ Comfortable with infrastructure, cyber security, enterprise applications, and ITSM/ITIL — not a hands-on technical role

→ Deep experience interpreting and enforcing legal contracts, SLAs, and cost-recovery models

→ Exceptional stakeholder and negotiation skills — balancing competing priorities between acquirer and parent company

→ Ability to operate with discretion in a highly confidential, changing environment

→ Experience in Media, Entertainment, Broadcast, Telecoms, or regulated tech environments is a strong advantage

Location: London, Leeds or Manchester

• 2–3 days in office
