About the Job
We’re Hyve – organiser of the world’s fastest-growing and most forward-thinking B2B events.
As the chosen event partner to many of the world’s leading companies, our platforms play a critical role in their strategies – helping them enter new markets, accelerate growth and connect with the people who matter most.
Our portfolio features some of the world’s leading events in sectors like ecommerce, healthcare, edtech, and fintech. We’re growing fast with an entrepreneurial culture that empowers big ideas and quick action, plus an ambitious acquisition strategy bringing exciting new events into our mix.
Alongside our market-leading events, we’re building tech and data-driven products that supercharge connections – from one-to-one meeting programs and curated table talks to year-round engagement platforms.
Whatever your role, you’ll join a global team redefining how industries connect, collaborate, and grow – working with some of the most talented people in the business. Think that sounds good?
Wait until our talent acquisition team tells you about the culture.
A bit about you
First things first: whatever your background, beliefs or ambitions, there’s a culture of belonging at Hyve — and everyone is welcome. The question isn’t where you’ve come from, but where you want to go.
You’ll thrive here if you’re curious, collaborative and not afraid to challenge convention. We look for people who take pride in what they do, who are excited by change and always moving forward. The kind of people who stay open, keep learning, and look for better ways to make an impact.
Our shared behaviours guide how we work: we dare to do things differently, own our work, embrace collaboration, stay true to ourselves and others, and remember that optimism wins.
If that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.
The Role
As M&A HR Partner, you’ll play a critical role in shaping Hyve’s growth journey. Acting as the HR lead on cross-functional deal teams, you’ll support all people-related aspects of M&A activity — from due diligence through to integration and post-close execution.
You’ll partner closely with HR Directors, the Chief of Staff, Head of Integration, and senior business leaders to manage risk, unlock talent, and ensure cultural alignment across transactions. This is a highly visible role requiring strong judgement, emotional intelligence, and the ability to thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
What you’ll do
- Act as HR lead on M&A transactions
- Lead HR due diligence and assess people-related risks
- Shape and deliver people integration and change strategies
- Partner with senior leaders on culture, talent, and workforce planning
- Navigate complex, fast-paced, and international environments
Your experience
- Strong HR generalist or operations background (6–8 years)
- Hands-on M&A experience (due diligence and integration)
- Confident stakeholder manager with high EQ
- Comfortable with ambiguity, complexity, and change
- Commercially minded with strong analytical skills
