Senior Project Manager, M&A Integration and Strategic Initiatives
We are hiring a Senior Project Manager to lead transactions end-to-end: due diligence through post-deal integration. This person reports to senior leadership and works directly with Finance, Operations, IT, HR, and the executive team. The role sits at the intersection of M&A execution and operational transformation.
You will own the transaction playbook from diligence through stabilization, and you will run cross-functional strategic initiatives between deals. This is not a PMO seat running status reports. It is an operator role for someone who has personally led transactions as the PMP across multiple years and knows what breaks in both diligence and integration.
What You Will Do
Lead due diligence workstreams, including functional diligence coordination, risk identification, and integration feasibility assessment
Lead end-to-end post-merger integration for acquired businesses, including Day 1 readiness, functional workstream coordination, systems cutover, and synergy tracking
Build and maintain the transaction playbook, including DD checklists, integration plans, and 100-day roadmaps
Run strategic initiatives across the company, including ERP and quoting system improvements, service operations optimization, and cross-functional process work
Partner with Finance on synergy modeling, tracking, and reporting to the executive team
Coordinate with Corp Dev and outside advisors to ensure integration feasibility is built into deal thesis before close
Manage competing priorities across multiple active workstreams without losing execution discipline
What You Bring
Must-have
- Multiple years of transaction experience covering both due diligence and post-deal integration
- Directly led transactions as the PMP, not in a supporting role
- PMP certification
- 3 to 7 years of total experience
- Track record of running cross-functional initiatives with measurable P&L impact
Preferred
- Construction, security, fire, low-voltage, MEP, specialty contracting, or similar B2B services environment
- Experience at a small consultancy where you owned client work directly rather than observing it
- Experience with M&A process management tools (such as Midaxo)
- Strong financial literacy and fluency with synergy tracking
- Willingness to travel to acquired sites and UT offices as needed
Benefits
- Health, dental, and vision coverage
- Life insurance
- 401 (k) w/company match 100% up to 3% and an additional 50% match of 2%
- Paid time off
- 11 Paid Holidays
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, creed, sex, age, national origin, disability, Veteran status, or any other category protected by federal, state, or local laws.
