Sr. IT M&A Integration Program Manager

Position Summary

Trex is seeking a seasoned Senior IT M&A Integration Program Manager to establish and lead the enterprise IT capability supporting mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and strategic business integrations.

This role is responsible for developing and owning the Trex IT M&A Playbook and leading the planning, governance, and execution of all technology integration activities across the entire M&A lifecycle. The successful candidate will serve as the enterprise integration leader for IT, partnering with business and technology leaders to ensure acquisitions are integrated efficiently, consistently, and with minimal business disruption.

It is an enterprise integration leadership position requiring the ability to orchestrate dozens of concurrent workstreams spanning business processes, technology platforms, applications, infrastructure, cybersecurity, engineering, data, analytics, and organizational change.

The Senior IT M&A Integration Program Manager leads through influence rather than direct authority, ensuring alignment across IT and business functions while maintaining disciplined governance, proactive risk management, and predictable execution.

The ideal candidate has personally led multiple enterprise technology integrations supporting acquisitions valued between $50 million and $200 million+, preferably within manufacturing, industrial, building products, or distribution organizations.
