Mergers & Acquisitions Integration Lead

This is a high-visibility, strategically critical, cross-functional role at the intersection of M&A execution, enterprise strategy, and operational management. You will lead the critical phase from diligence through integration planning and post-close follow-through, define repeatable integration playbooks, and partner directly with senior stakeholders to ensure each transaction delivers its intended value. The ideal candidate brings hands-on integration experience, with particular expertise in defense technology and government contracting.

 

This role is remote and will report directly to the VP of M&A and Growth Strategy.

Experience designing and implementing large scale organizational changes such as acquisitions, new operating constructs, and shared services, that align strategy and business goals, processes, and culture to influence and enhance organizational effectiveness.

Experience leading the planning, design, and execution of strategic and operational initiatives, managing cross-functional teams, and serving as an advisor to ensure successful implementation and measurable outcomes.

Experience integrating functions, operating at the seams, and developing approaches and leveraging tools to plan and execute critical efforts.

Experience with strategic frameworks and methodology development, quantitative and qualitative analysis, organizational design and assessment, performance management, and organizational change management.

Strong operating judgment and the ability to move fluidly between strategy and execution.

Comfort building structure in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

Clear, concise communication with senior stakeholders, functional leaders, customers, and acquired teams.

A track record of building trust quickly and driving outcomes through influence rather than authority.
