  • Drive change management, communication, and cultural alignment
  • Provide clear, executive-level updates to leadership

Ideal Candidate

  • 5–10 years in M&A integration, PE portfolio operations, consulting, or program management
  • Experience in PE-backed or highly acquisitive environments preferred
  • Strong financial acumen (EBITDA, synergies, KPI tracking)
  • Excellent project management and executive communication skills
  • Experience with ERP/CRM systems (UKG, Aspire, Acumatica, or similar)

Why Join

  • Direct impact on investment outcomes
  • High-visibility role with senior leadership exposure
  • Fast-paced, ownership-driven environment
