Reporting to the VP, Enterprise Operations, this role creates the playbook, governance, and tooling that effectively integrate acquired companies into ABC’s people, products, go-to-market, client service, global services (i.e. finance, people, IT) and systems, so every integration is faster and more successful. This is a high-visibility role that partners closely with Corporate Development, functional leaders, and the executive team.

What You’ll Need- 10+ years in strategy, operations, or program leadership, including hands-on leadership of post-close integration for at least 5 acquisitions.
