We are partnering with a high-growth, private equity-backed services platform to appoint an Interim Integration Manager as part of an ambitious buy-and-build strategy.

This is a hands-on, in-house role within a lean team working closely with the C-suite, focused on leading post-acquisition integration activity across multiple geographies while supporting value creation initiatives and ensuring acquisitions are successfully embedded into the wider platform.
