Do you thrive in environments with many moving pieces, competing priorities, and high visibility? Do you enjoy leading cross-functional initiatives, building trust with stakeholders, and helping teams navigate ambiguity to deliver outstanding results?
If so, we'd love to hear from you!

- Build and manage detailed project plans, timelines, workstreams, milestones, and decision logs across multiple concurrent initiatives
- Coordinate cross-functional teams across finance, legal, HR, product, engineering, operations, security, leadership, and external partners
- Support due diligence efforts by organizing data requests, tracking open items, coordinating stakeholders, and maintaining momentum across workstreams
- Help drive integration planning and execution, including readiness activities, dependency management, and post-close follow-through
- Identify risks, dependencies, blockers, and decision points early and proactively drive resolution strategies
- Facilitate executive-level communication, status reporting, governance meetings, and stakeholder alignment
- Manage competing priorities across multiple workstreams while maintaining visibility into overall project health
- Drive accountability across teams while fostering collaboration, trust, and clarity
- Help improve internal M&A processes, integration playbooks, and operational best practices
- Support teams through changing priorities and evolving business needs with a calm, solutions-oriented approach
- Travel up to 35% as needed based on project requirements

- Prior experience leading an M&A project
- Experience leading or supporting merger, acquisition, integration, or other high-visibility cross-functional initiatives
- Ability to operate independently in fast-moving environments with evolving priorities
- Excel at building alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain complex topics clearly and simply to executives, teams, and external partners
- Sound judgment and discretion when managing sensitive or confidential initiatives
- Experience managing projects involving multiple systems, functions, vendors, and cross-functional dependencies
- A highly organized, flexible and pragmatic approach, with the ability to balance strategic thinking and hands-on execution
