Senior Manager M&A Integration

Redwood City, US, California

We're Celonis, the global leader in Process Intelligence technology and one of the world's fastest-growing SaaS firms. We believe there is a massive opportunity to unlock productivity by placing AI, data and intelligence at the core of business processes - and for that, we need your help. Care to join us?

The Team:

The Corporate Development & Strategy team at Celonis is responsible for shaping the future of the world’s leader in Process Intelligence. We identify, execute, and integrate strategic acquisitions that accelerate our product roadmap and expand our market leadership. We are a high-impact, lean team that sits at the intersection of strategy, product, and operations, working directly with Celonis’ executive leadership to drive inorganic growth.

The Role:

As a Senior Manager, M&A Integration, you will lead the post-merger integration (PMI) process for our most strategic acquisitions. You aren’t just a project manager; you are a "Value Architect" for our acquisitions. You will partner with functional leads across Product, Engineering, Sales, HR, and Finance to ensure that every deal delivers on its strategic thesis. You will design the integration blueprint, manage the "First 100 Days," and leverage the Celonis Process Intelligence platform to track synergy realization and operational health.

The Work You’ll Do:

  • Integration Strategy & Planning: Lead the development of comprehensive integration strategies and detailed execution plans for acquired companies, ensuring alignment with the original deal thesis.
  • Cross-Functional Orchestration: Serve as the central hub between the target company and Celonis functional leads. You will drive workstreams across GTM alignment, product integration, cultural onboarding, and systems migration.
  • Synergy Realization: Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) and financial synergies. Use Celonis technology to monitor integration progress and identify process bottlenecks in real-time.
  • Program Management: Own the Integration Management Office (IMO). Manage timelines, budgets, and executive reporting to the C-suite and Board of Directors.
  • Cultural Integration: Act as an ambassador for Celonis values ("The Best Team Wins," "Live for Customer Value"). Drive change management initiatives to ensure a seamless transition for new "Celonauts."
  • Process Excellence: Continuously improve the Celonis "Integration Playbook," codifying best practices to make our M&A engine more scalable and repeatable.

The Qualifications You Need:

  • Experience: 7+ years of professional experience, with at least 3-5 years specifically in M&A Integration, Corporate Development, or Strategy Consulting (Big 4 or Top-tier firm) with a focus on PMI.
  • Industry Context: Deep understanding of the SaaS/Enterprise Software landscape. Experience integrating high-growth tech startups is a significant plus.
  • Analytical Rigor: Strong financial acumen and ability to translate complex data into actionable insights. Familiarity with SQL or data visualization tools is preferred.
  • Executive Presence: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence C-level stakeholders and lead through ambiguity.
  • Mindset: A "We Own It" attitude. You are a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment and can pivot quickly when priorities shift.
  • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Finance, Engineering, or a related field. MBA is a plus.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
