Business Transformation - Director, M&A Advisory

This opportunity comes at an exciting time of growth and evolution for our Business Transformation Practice. Our mission is to support the success of M&A transactions across the full deal lifecycle: pre-deal assessment, operational due diligence, and post-close integration. We help clients achieve their strategic and operational goals, working through a people, process, and technology lens to deliver sustainable results by addressing:
  • People: Aligning organizational structures, spans and layers, decision rights, and talent across entities.
  • Processes: Standardizing workflows to remove inefficiencies and improve collaboration across functions.
  • Technology: Integrating systems and data to support timely, accurate decision-making.


To succeed in this role you will have:
  • Extensive experience in M&A integration and strategic operations.
  • Direct experience with operational due diligence, both pre-deal assessment and post-close integration.
  • Deep operating-model experience: organization design, spans and layers, decision rights, and headcount modeling.
  • Exceptional leadership skills with a proven ability to manage cross-functional teams in high-stakes environments.
  • An FP&A foundation across budgeting, forecasting, reporting, close, and cash flow forecasting, with the skill to connect financial logic to operating decisions.
  • Command of SG&A analysis: run-rate builds, HoldCo versus project-level splits, and peer benchmarking.
  • Strong financial modeling skills and comfort working from trial balances, headcount data, and a data room.
  • Strong project management expertise, including the ability to oversee large-scale, complex initiatives.
  • Deep understanding of post-merger integration best practices, with a focus on delivering measurable results.
  • Strategic thinking with the ability to manage competing priorities and balance short-term wins with long-term goals.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels, including C-suite executives.
  • A collaborative mindset and the ability to foster alignment across diverse groups and cultures.
  • A focus on driving results while maintaining attention to detail and ensuring operational excellence.


Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead M&A engagements across the deal lifecycle, from pre-deal assessment and operational due diligence through post-close integration.
  • Lead operational due diligence on acquisition targets and platforms. Validate operational viability, surface risks and liabilities early, and quantify cost takeout and synergy opportunities.
  • Assess the current state across people, process, and technology. Map processes end to end, flag manual steps, and score functional maturity against peers.
  • Design future-state operating models, setting spans, layers, decision rights, roles, and headcount for the combined or standalone business.
  • Own the financial analysis. Build the SG&A run-rate, the headcount scaling model, and the current-to-pro-forma bridge, and benchmark against relevant peers.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to clients, providing strategic guidance and actionable recommendations during the integration process.
  • Develop and execute integration plans that address people, processes, and technology to enable smooth transitions and synergies.
  • Coordinate cross-functional workstreams, ensuring alignment across operations, such as accounting, finance, HR, IT, and other critical areas.
  • Monitor and measure integration progress, identifying risks and opportunities and implementing mitigation strategies as needed.
  • Facilitate stakeholder communication and engagement to maintain alignment and momentum during integration.
  • Build strong client relationships, instilling confidence and ensuring satisfaction throughout the integration process.
  • Mentor and guide internal teams, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement.
  • Stay informed on market trends and best practices in M&A integration to enhance client outcomes and drive innovation.
  • Analyze current-state processes and design future-state based on industry and firm best practices.


Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Finance or a related field; MBA or equivalent is strongly preferred.
  • Accounting background and/or CPA strongly preferred
  • 10+ years of relevant experience in M&A integration, operational due diligence, strategic operations, or organizational transformation.
  • Experience building SG&A run-rate models, headcount scaling models, and current-to-pro-forma bridges.
  • FP&A experience across budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and cash flow forecasting.
  • Demonstrated expertise in managing large-scale, complex post-merger integration projects.
  • Familiarity with systems and technology implementation as part of integration processes.
