What You’ll Do
You will have a pivotal role in the Corporate Development Integration (CDI) team, supporting strategic programs that drive Cisco’s growth and business transformation. This work includes articulating the value propositions or value drivers, and development of the operational risk management plan for each program. These programs run the gamut from acquisitions and partnerships to divestitures and joint ventures.

The IPM is an acquisition integration (AI) leader accountable for the program management of the development of the integration plan, the alignment of the pillar and function strategies and plans and the execution of those plans. They facilitate the analysis, communication, collaboration and monitoring of the integration plan and its objectives. They drive cross-functional alignment with the Cisco team and the acquired designees to achieve the targeted outcomes.

As needed, you will facilitate the use of our integration practice tools and approach with Cisco and subject matter experts from the target to achieve clarity of objectives. You will drive the various planning readouts, summarizing the work of the target and Cisco to ensure executive consensus.

Why Cisco
#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box!

But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us! #LI-AC7
