Senior Manager, M&A Finance Integration

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

This is a build-and-run opportunity. Reporting to the Director, M&A Finance Integration, you will be the day-to-day operator of the M&A Finance Integration program: you will scope and drive the finance integration plan for each deal, coordinate finance workstreams alongside Corporate Development, Legal, and People, and be the connective tissue between deal teams and the functions that execute. You will also own the end-to-end legal entity lifecycle (setup, migration, and wind-down) for acquired entities and newly formed subsidiaries, and turn what we learn from every deal and legal entity set up into a maintained playbook and template library.

What it asks for · 7

• Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of at least two finance integration projects or entity set up projects, from planning through post-close execution, including project plan ownership and executive reporting
• Working accounting fluency across the areas your stakeholders own: the close calendar, chart of accounts, intercompany, statutory reporting, purchase accounting fundamentals, and the finance implications of common deal structures (asset vs. stock, acquihire vs. strategic, full integration vs. standalone)
• Strong program-management capability: comfortable scoping ambiguous work, owning multiple parallel workstreams, and managing to milestones without extensive oversight
• Experience with ERP systems (NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, or equivalent) in an acquisition and migration context
• Cross-functional credibility with Legal, Tax, People, Corporate Development, and Finance sub-functions, and the ability to drive outcomes across competing timelines and risk tolerances
• Comfort operating under deal-environment time pressure and confidentiality, with sound judgment when processes are being defined in real time
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to distill complex operational issues into clear, decision-ready briefings

Also a plus

• 10+ years in finance, accounting, or finance operations, with at least 3 years running cross-functional programs at a high-growth technology company, with a focus in M&A integration or legal entity programs
• Have built or significantly contributed to a finance integration playbook, template library, or integration management office infrastructure from scratch
• Bring international entity experience: new-jurisdiction setup, statutory audit and local GAAP obligations, employer-of-record bridges, transfer pricing and intercompany agreements
• Have worked with standalone-subsidiary integration models, consolidation bridges, and equity-method investments
• Be an active user of AI tools in their own workflow and excited to push program management toward automation
