Job Description

Director of M&A Integration

SUMMARY
We are partnering with a Private Equity-backed utility services company experiencing rapid growth through acquisition. As they continue to scale, we’re looking to add a Director of Integration to oversee the post-merger integration of newly acquired businesses. Reporting to the C-suite, this individual will be responsible for building and managing the integration process from pre-close planning to full operational alignment. The ideal candidate brings a structured, hands-on approach with strong project management chops and the ability to build trust across functional teams and with founder-owners.

Geography
Preferred location is Houston metro area. Approximately 25–40% travel expected.


Primary Responsibilities


Integration Strategy & Planning:

  • Develop and maintain a standardized pre-closing and post-closing integration playbook.

  • Collaborate with leadership during due diligence to evaluate systems, operations, and synergy opportunities.

  • Assess complexity of integration for each deal (e.g., IT systems, HR, compensation models).


Execution & Project Management:

  • Own the integration lifecycle from pre-close planning through 30/60/90-day execution.

  • Act as cross-functional project manager ensuring timely coordination of integration workstreams.

  • Lead recurring integration check-ins and proactively troubleshoot delays or issues.


Culture & People:

  • Personally meet with all acquired employees — including field service teams — to establish clarity and cultural alignment.

  • Build strong relationships with acquisition targets’ owners and management teams to ensure a smooth transition.


Required Experience & Competencies

  • Experience: 5–7 years of post-merger integration experience, preferably within private equity-backed or founder-led environments.

  • Track Record: Demonstrated success integrating small to mid-sized companies across multiple functions.

  • Cross-Functional Knowledge: Familiarity with finance, HR, IT, and back-office operations.

  • Soft Skills: Strong communicator, relationship builder, and credible with both frontline teams and executive stakeholders.

  • Mindset: Process-driven, organized, and able to manage multiple integrations simultaneously.

  • Execution: Willing to roll up your sleeves and operate at both strategic and tactical levels.
