THE TEAM YOU WILL BE JOINING
- The company operates in a decentralized, multi-business-unit environment, creating a need for strong communication, partnership, and consistency across field leadership, operations, finance, HR, legal, and external partners.
- Backed by a long-term ownership structure, the organization continues to expand through acquisitions and organic initiatives, creating opportunities to build more scalable processes and strengthen enterprise-wide visibility.
- This is an opportunity to join a national platform where leadership is focused on improving internal alignment, enhancing reporting capabilities, and creating more consistent processes across the organization.
- Opportunity to help shape and elevate an evolving function with meaningful visibility across the organization.
- Potential for the role to expand in scope over time as the organization continues to scale and mature.
- Hybrid work model with remote flexibility on designated days, along with lunch provided in the office.
- Partner with Corporate Development (M&A) during the late stages of due diligence to define the integration strategy, scope, and key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Mobilize and lead integration workstreams across IT, HR, Finance, Legal, Sales, and Operations. Ensure every department has a clear Day 1 roadmap.
- Own, refine, and scale our M&A integration playbook. Standardize tools, templates, and reporting structures to make future integrations repeatable and efficient.
- Proactively identify integration risks, bottlenecks, and cultural friction points. Develop swift mitigation strategies to keep timelines on track.
- Establish a regular reporting cadence for executive leadership. Track synergy capture, budget compliance, and milestone achievements, escalating roadblocks when necessary.
- Act as a cultural ambassador. Help newly acquired employees navigate the transition, ensuring high retention and strong alignment with our core values.
- 3 years of professional experience, with at least 2–3 years dedicated specifically to M&A post-merger integration or corporate development. Experience in management consulting or large-scale corporate transformation roles is highly valued.
- Proven track record of managing multi-million dollar, cross-functional projects with aggressive timelines. (PMP certification is a plus, but hands-on experience matters more).
- A strong grasp of general business operations, financial modeling, and how different departments (HR, Tech, Finance) depend on one another.
- Exceptional emotional intelligence (EQ) and communication skills. You must be comfortable presenting to C-suite executives and building trust with nervous employees at a newly acquired firm.
