Integration Manager

The Role: Integration Manager

The Integration Manager plays a critical role in shepherding newly acquired businesses

through the integration lifecycle—from diligence handoff through Day 1 readiness and postclose value creation. This individual acts as a bridge between sellers, internal teams

(Operations, Finance, HR, IT, Legal), and leadership to ensure deals progress smoothly and no

step is overlooked.

Success requires strong emotional intelligence, exceptional attention to detail, and the ability

to translate diligence findings into actionable operational insights. While parts of the role are

process- and checklist-driven, the Integration Manager must also exercise judgment,

anticipate downstream impacts, and support teams in navigating the nuances of each

acquisition.

This is an ideal role for someone with a background in client services, project management, or

operations who thrives in a cross-functional environment and is energized by relationshipbuilding and execution excellence. M&A experience is a plus but not required. This position

offers long-term career growth into M&A leadership or P&L ownership roles within our

organization.

Deal Progression & Coordination

• Own the integration checklist and process, ensuring milestones are met and deals

continue to move forward without bottlenecks.

• Track and report on integration progress, escalating risks or issues early.

Relationship Management

• Act as a liaison between sellers and internal stakeholders, ensuring communication

Diligence Interpretation & Operational Translation

• Digest diligence findings and distill key operational implications for internal teams.

• Work with internal leaders to refine Day 1 and post-close action plans based on

diligence insights.

Day 1 & Post-Close Preparedness

• Ensure teams are prepared for Day 1 execution, including communications, onboarding

flows, integration timelines, and value creation initiatives.

• Monitor early post-close performance and assist in supporting integration milestones.

Cross-Functional Enablement

success metrics and transition plans.

• • Support documentation of best practices and integration frameworks for future deals.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in project management, client services, operations

coordination, or a similar cross-functional role.

• High emotional intelligence with a track record of managing stakeholders and building

strong partnerships.

• Highly detail-oriented and process-driven, with strong organizational and follow-up

skills.

• Ability to digest complex information and translate it into actionable steps for others.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
