About The Position

The Senior Manager, Integration leads assigned acquisitions end to end within the established integration governance, playbook, and toolset.

It works with acquired leadership to deploy lean and Lean Six Sigma processes, Value Stream Mapping, daily management, policy deployment, and visual management.
