The Team's Focus:
TransUnion constantly analyzes market opportunities for growth through investments and acquisitions. To do this successfully, requires a robust and mature M&A pipeline process.

How You'll Contribute:

• Security Diligence: Assist in evaluating M&A targets' security posture-organizational structure, policies, processes, technical capabilities-based on TransUnion's playbook and standards. Work with M&A targets' technology and information security leaders to execute appropriate 3rd party vendor assessments, coordinating the scope and delivery of the projects.
• Security Integration Planning: Assist in development of the security integration hypothesis including merging of organizational structure and security capabilities.

• Program & Project Management: Own and manage security projects (security assessments, technology deployments, infrastructure remediation, policy and process improvement, and others). Manage timelines, resources, budget and vendors/consultants.
• 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. Actively listen during meetings and be comfortable clarifying ambiguity or technical areas beyond your comfort zone of knowledge. Produce concise project status reports and presentations on a timely basis. Ensure that issues as well as successes are clearly communicated to team members, stakeholders, and sponsors. Ensure and 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 milestones.
