Integration Leader, Global IT M&A

What You Will Do: 
Global Post-Merger Integration Execution 

• Take ownership of acquired entities Post-Day 1, leading the execution of standard integration milestones. 

• Partner with Regional M&A Directors to seamlessly transition due diligence (DD) findings into actionable integration execution plans to enable targeted business outcomes. 

• Matrix-manage and drive cross-functional coordination across broader Global IT towers (Infrastructure, Networking, Identity/O365, Cybersecurity, Enterprise Apps, etc.) to ensure seamless technical cutovers with minimal business disruption. 
   

Cross-M&A Sequencing & Resource Management 

• Act as the central sequencer for the IT organization, managing a high-volume portfolio of overlapping global integrations. 

• Develop and manage IT resource heatmaps and capacity planning to ensure Global IT teams do not become bottlenecks. 

• Partner with teams to define and implement interim IT operating models, ensuring acquired entities have clear support paths and business continuity prior to full end-state integration. 
   

Financial Forecasting, TSA, & Cost Tracking 

• Own the IT integration execution budget across the portfolio. 

• Develop mature financial forecasting models for post-close integration costs, including CapEx/Opex, licensing true-ups, vendor consolidation, and infrastructure migrations. 

• Manage IT Transition Service Agreements (TSAs) when applicable and implement rigorous cost tracking and synergy-realization reporting for executive leadership. 
   

Playbook Maturity & The Due Diligence Feedback Loop 

• Evolve our Post-Day 1 M&A IT Integration Playbook, standardizing execution tasks, rollback plans, and Minimum Viable Integration (MVI) standards. 

• Drive the DD feedback loop: act as the critical bridge back to the Regional M&A Directors. Use actuals from post-close execution (costs, timelines, resource burn, and technical debt discoveries) to continuously refine and improve the "T-shirt sizing," budget forecasting, and risk-assessment models used during due diligence. 
   

Governance, Risk, & Stakeholder Management 

• Lead recurring M&A IT SteerCo and execution reviews with business sponsors and the OCIO. 

• Maintain clear risk-management frameworks, RAG-status dashboards, and formal escalation paths to senior leadership for execution roadblocks or cross-workstream dependencies. 

What You Need to Succeed:  

• Experience: 8+ years in IT leadership, including a minimum of 5 years directly managing complex enterprise IT M&A execution, post-merger integration (PMI), and/or divestitures/carve-outs. Experience working in an enterprise environment driving change across different regions (Americas and International) and cultures. 

• High-Volume Capability: Proven experience managing multiple concurrent integration projects in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

• Financial & Resource Planning: Strong background in IT financial forecasting, TSA management, execution budget tracking, and enterprise IT capacity planning. 

• Technical Acumen: Broad, cross-functional IT knowledge. Must have a deep understanding of execution dependencies across the IT landscape, including enterprise applications, identity and access management, networking, cloud, O365, and cybersecurity. 

• Leadership & Collaboration: Ability to:
  - Matrix-manage and hold cross-functional IT teams and third-party vendors accountable without direct line authority.
  - Build and sustain strong relationships across business, product, security, and regional teams.
  - Exhibit executive presence and influence at senior levels to secure decisions, budget, and alignment.
  - Communicate complex technical tradeoffs clearly to non-technical stakeholders. 
  - Operate with a business-outcomes mindset; prioritize under ambiguity and drive resolution of high-impact problems.
