Director of Integration

This is an ideal opportunity for a high-performing integration leader — someone who brings structure to ambiguity, drives cross-functional execution, and thrives in fast-paced, post-close environments. As Director of Integration, you’ll lead the company’s integration efforts across a growing portfolio of acquisitions, serving as the face of the business Day 1 and beyond. You’ll own the integration playbook, align functions around shared goals, and ensure every new partner company is set up for long-term success. This is a hands-on, high-impact role designed for an operator who’s ready to build — with a clear path to leadership as the business scales.
