Our client is a fast-growing, private equity–backed business services company undergoing a period of significant expansion through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. With multiple deals in progress and an active M&A pipeline, the business is focused on delivering integration excellence and realising synergies across operations, technology, and culture.
As Post-Merger Integration Director, you will lead the end-to-end integration of newly acquired businesses, ensuring that operational, financial, and cultural integration delivers sustainable value creation. This is a high-profile, hands-on role working closely with the CEO, CFO, and private equity investors to design and execute the group\'s integration playbook and establish a repeatable model for future acquisitions.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead the planning and delivery of post-merger integration activities across multiple workstreams (operations, finance, HR, technology, commercial, and culture).
* Develop and refine the group\'s PMI framework and governance model to ensure consistency and speed of execution.
* Partner with the leadership team and PE sponsors to identify and deliver synergy targets.
* Ensure alignment of systems, processes, and controls to support a scalable, unified platform.
* Oversee change management, communication, and cultural integration to secure buy-in across all levels.
* Track integration progress and outcomes, reporting regularly to the executive team and investors.
About You
* Proven track record of leading post-merger integration in a fast-paced, multi-entity environment, ideally within business services, outsourcing, or technology-enabled services.
* Strong background in operations, transformation, or finance, with experience delivering measurable synergy outcomes.
* Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills — able to engage effectively with C-suite, investors, and acquired teams.
* Experience working in a private equity–backed environment is highly advantageous.
* Pragmatic, hands-on, and delivery-focused, with the ability to manage complexity and drive clarity.
