Manager, M&A Integration

About this Position

The Manager, M&A Integration is responsible for leading the operational integration of acquired businesses from transaction close through full operational stabilization. This role serves as the central integration leader responsible for coordinating business units, driving accountability, and ensuring acquired companies are successfully embedded into Net at Work's operating model.

Working closely with executive leadership, Finance, Operations, IT, People & Learning (Human Resources), Customer Success, Sales, Legal, Marketing, and Professional Services, the Manager drives execution of integration plans while proactively identifying risks, removing roadblocks, and ensuring strategic initiatives remain on schedule. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments, possesses exceptional organizational and communication skills, and can influence leaders across the organization without direct reporting authority.

• Identify operational, financial, technology, customer, and organizational risks and recommend mitigation strategies.
• Drive accountability by facilitating recurring integration meetings and ensuring action items are completed on time.
• Prepare executive dashboards and regularly communicate integration progress, accomplishments, risks, and decisions requiring leadership support.
• Document lessons learned following each acquisition and continuously improve integration playbooks, governance models, templates, and best practices.
• Ensure ownership is successfully transitioned to business leaders only after integration objectives have been achieved.

Job Requirements
