About The Position

Vertiv’s Integration Management Office (IMO) is the central hub for integrating newly acquired businesses and realizing deal value.

The role drives cross-functional integration plans, holds programs accountable to synergy and milestone commitments established during diligence, and partners with acquired-company leadership to implement the integration playbook while protecting the talent, customers, and culture that made the business valuable. It also promotes operational efficiency and continuous improvement, tracks measurable value capture, and contributes lessons learned to improve the consistency and repeatability of the IMO’s tools and processes.

• Strong financial and analytical fluency, including the ability to connect an integration plan to a deal model, synergy targets, and P&L outcomes.
