General Manager, Mergers & Acquisitions

Source Internal

2d•$170,000 - $205,000•Remote

About The Position

Source is looking for a General Manager to lead Project Dynamics, Source's recent acquisition, as its primary executive and full P&L owner. This role reports to the CEO on an interim basis while the permanent reporting structure is finalized. You'll be accountable for every function of the business, including revenue, cash flow, expenses, client relationships, and daily operations. You'll also own the deal thesis, turning the revenue, cost, and timeline assumptions behind the acquisition into real results starting the day the deal closes. You won't be starting from scratch. You'll inherit a strong project management team, a healthy business development pipeline driven by a tenured sales lead, and two founding owners who are invested in making this transition a success. Your job is to protect what makes Project Dynamics valuable (its people, its clients, and its reputation) while integrating it into Source's platform, systems, and operating model, in close partnership with Sales Leadership, Finance, and Source's corporate functions.

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Business, or a related field, or equivalent work experience
Prior experience as a GM, Principal, Sales Leader, or Purchasing Director; multi-line sales or rep experience combined with a purchasing background is a strong fit
Strong commercial and sales instincts paired with solid financial understanding
Proven ability to manage toward growth targets and OKRs while driving deal-level strategy and execution post-close
People leadership and change management skills, with the ability to lead a team through organizational restructuring and systems transitions
Exceptional cross-functional leadership skills, with the ability to manage complex internal project teams and influence C-suite stakeholders
A track record of proactively building strong cross-functional relationships at all levels, recognizing where two functions need close alignment and taking the initiative to connect them
Working understanding of purchase agreements and accounting mechanics, and comfort partnering closely with Finance and Legal to build this fluency on the job
Ability to operate effectively without having shaped the original deal assumptions, partnering closely with the deal team from day one to gain full context and continuity
Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. Source does not provide employment visa sponsorship at this time.

Responsibilities

Take ownership of the Project Dynamics revenue plan from the M&A Lead and drive performance against it, proactively identifying shortfalls and adjusting plans and resources to hit targets
Monitor the entity's cash position alongside Source Finance and drive the actions needed to resolve any issues or collections that arise
Review and resolve day-to-day expense and AP issues, keeping business spending aligned with ROI and strategic plans
Realize every assumption built into the acquisition's deal model, including revenue, cost, and timeline
Drive a primarily sales-led go-to-market by mining the founding owners' existing relationships and leads and supporting the Business Development Manager on outbound, in partnership with Source's sales team
Lead win-back efforts on lost accounts and develop new prospecting pipelines adjacent to Project Dynamics' current client base
Partner with Source's go-to-market team on clear client communication through the transition, targeting strong client satisfaction and increased volume of work with Source within one year
Keep account management roles and boundaries clear and aligned with both the deal objectives and the broader Source organization
Coordinate Project Dynamics' event and marketing presence with Source, including standalone events where they make sense, within the allocated budget
Lead the Project Dynamics team, including Project Directors, Project Managers, Project Coordinators, and the Business Development Manager
Work alongside the founding owners, who remain in their current reporting structure and stay closely involved through a gradual handoff
Partner with Source's functional leaders in Sales, Purchasing, and Operations & HR, who own training and standards for the Project Dynamics team, while hiring and day-to-day execution stay within the entity
Make sure the entity uses Source's centralized marketing, legal, insurance, and corporate accounting functions rather than duplicating them
Partner with Source Finance, which owns project and operational accounting and reports to you for executive review rather than sitting on your team
Hold the plan steady from close through full integration; this is a continuity and execution role, not a one-time relationship transfer
Steward the "Project Dynamics, a Source Company" identity, preserving the name, client relationships, and reputation the team has built as it transitions into Source
Retain critical talent and preserve what clients value, owning role assignments and retention plans under Source's leveling framework while gradually aligning the team to Source's operating model
Partner with Finance, Operations, and Product to move Project Dynamics onto Source's systems, making sure the team is trained and supported through each cutover
Lead with low-friction wins like new tools and training, and pace the harder structural and cultural changes so client continuity and revenue are never put at risk
