About The Position

iRhythm is seeking an experienced, strategic, and highly operational Vice President, M&A Integrations to lead the successful integration of acquired companies and other strategic transactions. This executive will translate deal strategy into disciplined execution, protect business continuity, align cross-functional teams, and ensure that each transaction delivers its intended strategic, operational, and financial value. Reporting directly to the SVP of Integration Management and Business Transformation, the Vice President, M&A Integrations will lead iRhythm's acquisitions through the full integration lifecycle, from supporting pre-close diligence and transaction planning through Day 1 readiness, stabilization, operating model implementation, value realization, and transition to business-as-usual ownership. This leader will serve as the enterprise orchestrator for integration, establishing governance, clarifying accountability, managing risks and dependencies, and accelerating decisions across iRhythm and acquired organizations. This leader will partner closely with functional leaders across Corporate Development, Operations, Commercial, Finance, Quality, Regulatory, Clinical, R&D, Product, Supply Chain, Human Resources, Information Technology, Legal, Compliance, and executive leadership. The role is highly collaborative, focused on integration planning and execution to deliver on the deal thesis of value creation rather than on target identification, valuation, transaction structuring, or deal negotiation. The VP M&A Integration will help iRhythm establish an enterprise-wide integration program capability which delivers the value capture thesis of M&As. Specifically, this role will bring best practices to bear in designing and managing the cross-functional integration planning process, developing the tools and governance program to execute on the integration plan, and deliver regular executive and Board-level reporting mechanisms. This individual will be energized by the opportunity to building and manage the team that directly integrates acquired companies, coordinate enterprise-wide execution, and ensure success in delivering against integration milestones, business objectives, and approved value commitments.
