We are partnering with a high-growth, private equity-backed services platform to appoint an Integration Manager as part of an ambitious buy-and-build strategy.
Backed by a leading mid-market investor, the business has experienced rapid expansion through a combination of strong organic performance and an active acquisition programme, having completed several transactions to date. Operating in a large and fragmented European services market, the platform is well positioned to consolidate its space and drive long-term value creation.
This is a hands-on, in-house role within a lean team working closely with the C-suite, focused on leading post-acquisition integration activity across multiple geographies while supporting value creation initiatives and ensuring acquisitions are successfully embedded into the wider platform.
The Role
You will play a key role in delivering the integration strategy across newly acquired businesses, ensuring smooth transitions and alignment with the wider group operating model:
- Lead post-merger integration planning and execution across multiple acquisitions
- Coordinate integration workstreams across functions including finance, operations, HR, IT, commercial, and legal
- Develop and manage detailed integration plans, timelines, and synergy tracking frameworks
- Work closely with senior leadership teams within acquired businesses to support onboarding and change management
- Identify and mitigate integration risks, ensuring minimal disruption to business performance
- Drive operational alignment and best practice implementation across the platform
- Monitor and report on integration progress, KPIs, and value creation initiatives to the C-suite and investors
- Support transformation, process improvement, and organisational alignment initiatives where required
- Collaborate with the M&A and Corporate Development teams to ensure seamless handover from deal execution into integration
- Manage multiple integration projects simultaneously in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
Candidate Profile

- Prior post-merger integration experience within a private equity-backed or acquisitive business strongly preferred
- Strong project management and stakeholder coordination skills across cross-functional teams
- Experience integrating acquired businesses and driving operational alignment across organisations

- Hands-on, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment
- Strong communication and influencing skills, with exposure to senior leadership teams
- Ability to build relationships quickly and manage change effectively across diverse teams and cultures
- Sector experience not required; candidates from any industry background will be considered
