About The Position

Stord is seeking a high-performing Program Manager to join our M&A Integration team. This is a high-impact role responsible for turning strategic acquisitions into operational reality. In this role, you will own the end-to-end execution of integration efforts for assigned acquisitions—from pre-close planning through final handoff to the business. You will translate strategic objectives into clear, actionable workstreams; build and manage detailed integration plans; drive timelines and milestones; identify and mitigate risks; and ensure accountability across cross-functional teams that include senior leaders and functional operators. Your work will be critical to ensuring each acquisition delivers its intended value by seamlessly integrating new teams, customers, processes, and technologies into Stord. This is not a passive coordination role—you are a hands-on, strategic executor who proactively drives progress, resolves ambiguity, and keeps stakeholders aligned in fast-moving, high-visibility environments.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in project/program management, operations strategy, consulting, or a similar strategic role.
• Experience in a startup or high-growth environment.
• Experience independently leading cross-functional initiatives from planning through execution.
• Demonstrated ability to influence and align stakeholders at all levels, including senior executives, without formal authority.
• Experience managing timelines, tracking risks, and ensuring accountability across multiple teams.
• Proven ability to communicate complex information clearly in written and verbal form.
• Track record of delivering high-quality work with strong attention to detail and follow-through.

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience in M&A integration, corporate development, or supply chain operations is a strong plus.
• Fluency in modern project management tools, like Asana or Jira, and comfort managing multiple workstreams simultaneously.
• Experience with financial models and analysis, with the ability to track performance against strategic and financial synergy targets.

Responsibilities

• Lead the execution of all post-acquisition integration plans from initial planning through final handover to the business, owning timelines, managing risks, and facilitating all key integration meetings.
• Be responsible for tracking the realization of all financial and strategic synergies modeled by Corporate Development during the diligence phase.
• Translate high-level integration goals into detailed project roadmaps, charters, RACIs, and workflows that create momentum across teams.
• Partner with leaders across Product, Finance, Sales, and Operations to align on priorities, remove roadblocks, and push execution forward.
• Maintain crisp project documentation and dashboards, and inform all stakeholders, including senior leadership, on progress and escalations.
• Codify learnings from each deal into a repeatable M&A integration playbook that will scale across all future acquisitions.

Benefits

• We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
• Stord participates in E-verify and will provide the federal government with your Form I-9 information to confirm that you are authorized to work in the U.S.
