Post Merger Integration Lead

bunch is building the backbone of private markets, combining exceptional expertise, operational excellence, and frictionless technology. The platform enables funds and private investors to seamlessly and securely set up and manage their investment entities. To expand our core team, we’re looking for a passionate professional who wants to play a pivotal role in growing our business and revolutionising private markets. We seek a strategic and hands‑on Post Merger Integration (PMI) Lead who will own and drive the integration of acquired fund administration businesses into our operating model.

How this role contributes to bunch’s vision: M&A is a key growth vector for bunch. We are creating a pan‑European platform for Private Markets that rolls up legacy administrators and leverages their human capital with our proprietary software platform. The result is enhanced revenue growth, better margins, and an improved client experience. You will be central to the alignment of people, processes, and systems across our acquisitions to ensure a smooth transition to our proprietary software platform while ensuring maximum client satisfaction.

Top responsibilities:

• Develop and execute robust post‑merger integration plans that focus on migrating core operational processes to our proprietary software platform.
• Partner with the deal team during acquisitions to conduct integration feasibility assessments and contribute to due diligence insights.
• Work closely with functional leads to map the current processes of acquired companies, identify gaps, and define standardized workflows compatible with automation.
• Collaborate with bunch’s product, engineering, and operations teams to align integration milestones with software deployment, AI adoption, and capability rollouts.
• Manage stakeholder communications and cultural alignment to support the successful adoption of the new operating model within acquired teams.
• Lead integration work streams (e.g., operations, finance, compliance, HR), monitor progress, flag risks, and implement mitigation strategies.
• Define and track integration success metrics, such as process migration rates, operational efficiency gains, EBIT margin improvements, and cultural alignment scores.
• Drive the integration of AI tools to automate unified reporting and identify cost‑saving synergies across the merged entities. Evaluate AI solutions to streamline strategic forecasting and ensure data‑driven efficiency throughout the post‑merger transition. Translate AI‑driven insights into clear, actionable progress reports for executive leadership to demonstrate synergy capture and integration milestones.

About you:

• 5+ years of experience in a fast‑paced environment, ideally financial services or management consulting.
• High aptitude for AI tools and workflow automation (or willingness to quickly ramp up), with a hands‑on approach to identifying and implementing efficiency gains.
• Experience in financial services or fund administration is a significant plus.
• Excellent project management skills with the ability to set a clear vision and plan, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and work effectively with cross‑functional teams at all levels of the organization.
• Strong experience in technology‑driven operations and business process automation.
• Outstanding communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Analytical thinker with structured problem‑solving skills and a bias for action.
• Comfortable in fast‑paced, high‑growth environments and eager to be hands‑on when needed.

Why you should join bunch:

• Take part in a network of people passionate about finance and technology, and work closely with the most interesting players in private markets.
• Seize the opportunity to drive one of bunch’s top strategic priorities, leveraging the latest available tools, without traditional hierarchies to slow you down.
• Stay at the forefront of the AI transformation by developing your skills at the intersection between technology, strategy, finance, legal and operations.
• Benefit from working with a diverse mix of talents, unrivaled energy, and team spirit within a culture of drive and ownership.
• Flexible hours and a hybrid office setup (3 days/week in office).
