About The Position

Vertiv’s Integration Management Office (IMO) is the central hub for integrating newly acquired businesses and realizing value from acquisitions. The Senior Manager, Mergers and Acquisitions Integration leads assigned acquisitions end to end within the IMO’s established governance, playbook, and toolset. Reporting to the Vice President, Global M&A Integration, this role leads the integration from pre-close planning through Day 1 and the subsequent value-capture period, coordinating functional workstreams and holding the program accountable to synergy and milestone commitments established during diligence. The role partners with acquired-company leadership to apply the integration playbook while protecting the talent, customer relationships, and culture that contributed to the acquisition’s value.

The Senior Manager leads cross-functional integration planning, monitors measurable value capture, and helps acquired businesses adopt operational-efficiency practices such as Lean and Lean Six Sigma, Value Stream Mapping, daily management, and policy deployment. The position also contributes to improving the IMO’s tools and repeatability by capturing lessons learned. It requires leading through influence in a matrixed, global organization and willingness to travel 40–60%, including internationally.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, finance, or a related field.
• Eight or more years of progressive experience in M&A integration, corporate development, operations, program management, or management consulting, including direct experience leading or co-leading post-merger and post-acquisition integration.
• Demonstrated success delivering complex, cross-functional programs on time and on budget while leading through influence in a matrixed, global organization.
• Strong financial and analytical fluency, including the ability to connect an integration plan to a deal model, synergy targets, and P&L outcomes.
• Working knowledge of Lean and continuous-improvement methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, or an equivalent operating system.
• Excellent communication and change-leadership skills, with credibility among frontline teams and senior executives.
• Willingness to travel 40–60%, including internationally.

• MBA.
• Experience operating within an established IMO or enterprise PMO across multiple concurrent integrations.

• Experience with carve-out, cross-border, or bolt-on integration at scale across multiple acquisitions.
• Formal operating-system or continuous-improvement practitioner or certification background, such as Lean Six Sigma Black Belt or equivalent.

Responsibilities

• Lead the integration roadmap for assigned acquisitions, from diligence handoff and Day 1 readiness through the value-capture period, based on the value-creation thesis approved at deal approval.
• Run integrations within the established IMO governance model, using its charters, tools, and templates.
• Manage cross-functional workstreams across Finance, HR, IT, Operations, Commercial, Legal, and Supply Chain, and keep steering committees informed through a disciplined reporting cadence.
• Translate deal models into tracked synergy and improvement commitments across safety, quality, delivery, and cost; establish metrics, dashboards, and review rhythms to track accountability.
• Partner with acquired-company leadership to introduce Lean and Lean Six Sigma processes, Value Stream Mapping, daily management, and policy deployment, and establish visual management for performance feedback.
• Build trust and drive alignment among acquired leadership teams, corporate functions, and IMO workstream leads without direct reporting authority.
