Following a surge in M&A volume (22 acquisitions announced since 2022), we are expanding our dedicated team to aggressively tackle integration velocity. The M&A Integration Manager will be highly execution-focused, turning the strategic roadmap developed by the Integration Lead into operational reality.
This role is responsible for directly managing a portfolio of target integrations, ensuring the integration strategy is fully executed on time. Operating with a heavy emphasis on accountability, this position will eliminate integration friction to maximize cash flow and ensure reliable customer delivery.
Day-to-Day Portfolio Execution: Direct the daily tactical execution of a portfolio of integrations, tracking every milestone from post-signing planning to complete process finalization.
Playbook and Tool Deployment: Standardize the use of project management software, automated tracking tools, and crisis playbooks to ensure highly repeatable status visibility.
Functional Onboarding Coordination: Drive the onboarding of targets into core Supply Chain and Business Operations processes, including Quality, Procurement, Manufacturing, Repair, Distribution, Planning, Finance and IT .
Data and Hierarchy Mapping: Manage project workstreams dedicated to master data mapping, converting legacy target SKUs and costing data into our hyper-standardized global data layer.
Risk and Mitigation Tracking: Actively identify, document, and escalate single points of failure, supply bottlenecks, or process deviations within target organizations.
Cross-Functional Synchronization: Run ongoing synchronization meetings with regional field leads, engineering partners, and functional GPOs to maintain alignment.
Based on the execution-oriented nature of this role and our aggressive integration timeline goals, the ideal candidate must possess the following:
Tactical Integration Execution: Proven capability to execute end-to-end post-merger integration lifecycles, specifically managing Day 1 readiness checklists, detailed 100-day roadmaps, and TSA exit tracking.
Project Management Mastery: Expert-level command of structured project management tools, critical-path scheduling, dependency mapping, and rigorous milestone tracking.
Results-Oriented Drive: A relentless focus on delivery timelines, closing data gaps, and aggressively driving accountability across active integration workstreams to drive full value realization of each deal.
Process and System Migration Rigor: Ability to systematically manage the migration of target functions into standardized processes and decoupled, ERP-agnostic cloud modules.
Cross-Functional Coordination: Strong relationship-building skills to maintain high velocity across matrixed project teams, including Supply Planning, Manufacturing, IT, HR, and Business Operations.
Executive Status Summarization: Capability to distill complex project data into clear, repeatable, and robust status updates and risk summaries for leadership review.
Experience:
Proven experience directly managing project workstreams for complex corporate post-merger integrations (PMI), either internally or within a consulting capacity.
Demonstrated history of utilizing advanced project management methodologies to execute tight timelines (e.g., compressed 9–12 month schedules).
Practical experience working alongside operational supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, or business operations environments is strongly preferred.
Skills & Capabilities:
Documented expertise in professional project management software (e.g., Smartsheet, Jira, MS Project) and automated dashboard creation.
Superior organizational skills with the ability to balance multiple active acquisitions simultaneously without dropping execution details.
Solid communication and presentation skills, with a track record of driving task completion among stakeholders who do not report to you directly.
PMP (Project Management Professional) or equivalent professional certification is highly desirable.
Availability: Prepared to onboard immediately
Target Base Salary Range: $130,000 - $175,000 USD
