Senior Director of Integration

Reports to: Chief Executive Officer

Position Overview

The Senior Director of Integration will lead the full lifecycle integration of newly acquired operating companies into a growing, multi‑entity organization. This role owns all integration activities across operational, cultural, and strategic domains and works closely with business unit leaders, functional teams (finance, HR, IT, compliance, operations), and executive leadership.

The ideal candidate brings extensive experience in post‑acquisition integration, strong operational understanding of service‑driven businesses, and exceptional relationship‑building skills. Success requires the ability to guide cross‑functional teams, influence leaders across multiple organizations, and ensure smooth adoption of shared systems, processes, and cultural norms-while still respecting the autonomy and heritage of each acquired business.

This position offers broad exposure across the enterprise and plays a key role in shaping how the organization grows through acquisition.

Note: This role requires significant travel. Each new integration typically begins with a multi‑day on‑site visit, and travel cadence increases with the pace of acquisition activity.

• Serve as the main point of contact for leadership teams within acquired companies, fostering trust through transparency and effective communication
• Coordinate cross‑functional workstreams across corporate and field teams, including site assessments, planning sessions, and operational readiness activities
• Support cultural integration initiatives, including onboarding, communication planning, and change‑management efforts
• Track integration KPIs, synergy realization, risks, and status reporting for the CEO and executive leadership
• Conduct post‑integration reviews to identify lessons learned and refine future approaches
• Identify operational improvements across the portfolio, including process documentation, standardization, and best‑practice development
• Build, develop, and mentor an integration team as the function expands
• Perform additional duties as needed

Minimum Qualifications

• High integrity, sound judgment, and a collaborative, partnership‑driven mindset
• Willingness to travel regularly to support integration efforts
