This role combines strategic advisory with hands-on execution, requiring the ability to navigate ambiguity, solve complex business challenges, and lead multidisciplinary teams through every phase of the transaction lifecycle—from pre-close planning and Day 1 readiness to operating model implementation and post-close value realization.

Demonstrated experience leading M&A integration, separation, carve-out, divestiture, or post-merger transformation programs.
Strong understanding of transaction lifecycle activities, including diligence support, integration planning, Day 1 execution, operating model design, TSA management, synergy realization, and post-close optimization.
Experience leading cross-functional teams across finance, HR, IT, operations, procurement, supply chain, commercial, legal, and product organizations.
Knowledge of organizational change management, communication planning, governance structures, process mapping, and stakeholder engagement.
Strong financial acumen with experience analyzing business performance, financial models, operational metrics, and value creation opportunities.
Experience improving core business processes, including procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, record-to-report, supply chain planning, and working capital optimization.
Proven ability to manage multiple projects, executive stakeholders, and competing priorities in fast-paced transaction environments.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, presentation, and executive facilitation skills.
Experience advising private equity clients and / or Fortune 1000 organizations.
Background in finance transformation, operational excellence, supply chain optimization, or digital transformation.
PMP, CPA, CFA, Lean Six Sigma, or other relevant professional certifications are a plus.
What You’ll Do:
Lead end-to-end delivery of M&A integration, separation, carve-out, and stand-up engagements for private equity, private equity-backed, and / or corporate clients.
Advise executive leadership on strategic decisions related to current and target operating models, organizational design, functional integration and / or separation, and go-forward business process and technology optimization.
Direct multiple workstreams across finance, HR, IT, operations, supply chain, legal, sales, commercial, and other functions to ensure alignment with transaction objectives and critical milestones.
Develop and oversee integration and separation strategies, including pre-close planning, Day 1 readiness, TSA planning, and synergy identification, validation, tracking, and value capture.
Analyze financial, operational, and organizational data to identify risks, opportunities, and actionable recommendations that improve performance and accelerate value creation.
Identify business process and technology opportunities across procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, record-to-report, supply chain, finance, and shared services functions with potential impact to M&A scenarios.
Facilitate executive steering committees, governance meetings, and cross-functional workshops to drive alignment, resolve issues, and enable timely decision-making.
Oversee development of high-quality client deliverables, including executive presentations, financial analyses, operating models, implementation roadmaps, and status reporting.
Manage project scope, timelines, budgets, staffing, and risk while ensuring consistent, high-quality client delivery across multiple concurrent engagements.
Build trusted client relationships, identify opportunities for additional services, and contribute to business development efforts.
