Director, Post-Merger Integrations
We are already able to solve many of the pain points that creators face: growing an audience, optimizing content, and monetizing but we would like to both diversify our monetization engine and scale up our content portfolio. We are planning to do so organically and through M&A.
Thus, we are seeking a highly motivated and organised VP, Post-Merger Integrations to join our growing team. This crucial, individual contributor role will lead our M&A integration practice. They will work cross-functionally starting before the acquisition of new businesses through the transition to business as usual. They will be responsible for the development and execution of a comprehensive plan for each acquisition (including the approach, key milestones, and management of services agreements) while also assisting with the day-to-day execution of the integration process, pre-integration diligence and driving proactive issue resolution.

- You will understand both companies’ historical and forecasted financial performance and how the combined entity will perform, but you will manage only the process, not the business.
