Director - Nuclear in London

Integration Director

Location: London (hybrid, two days in office, one day working from home, one to two days on site). Nationwide travel to acquired businesses at short notice.

Salary: £110-140k, 20% bonus, modest equity.

We are retained on a search for an Integrations Director to join a fast-scaling UK AI proptech group pursuing a buy-and-build strategy. The group has grown from around 40 people to over 100 in a matter of months, has a live pipeline of acquisitions completing through the autumn, and is on trajectory to c. £20m revenue by early next year.

Reporting into the CEO (potentially through a COO once appointed), the Integrations Director will own end-to-end integration of newly acquired businesses. A credible integration playbook is already in place; the incoming Director builds on it, embeds it into the operating rhythm, and holds it to a standard that scales with the pace of deal flow.

This is a business in which pace is prioritised across most functions to keep the buy-and-build moving. Integrations is the one function where that trade-off is not made. It is the interface with acquired teams, deals with redundancies and reorganisations, and is the professionalising layer between founder-led speed and the businesses coming into the group. It matters that it is done well.

The role:

• Own the integration of newly acquired businesses end to end, from Day One through to the point at which each business is running to group standard.
• Build on and embed the existing integration playbook. Make it the way the group operates rather than a document on a shelf, and iterate as the acquisition profile moves up the value chain.
• Lead the integration team (currently three) with structure, coaching, and clear escalation paths for group-wide decisions.
• Deliver senior-level face time on site during integrations. Acquired business leadership expects senior presence, not just delegated coverage.
• Provide overarching reporting to the executive team so integration progress is visible and issues escalated cleanly.
• Handle the human side of integrations well: redundancies, reorganisations, and cultural work. Direct where needed, warm where it lands better, always credible.

About you:

• Proven integrations leader with lived experience of running post-acquisition integrations end to end, ideally within a services roll-up.
• Comfortable operating within the pace and mess of a founder-led business whilst holding your own function to a higher standard than the rest.
• Punchy, direct, and willing to hold difficult conversations. Equally able to bring warmth and credibility into an acquired room. This role does both.
• Sector background in property management, contact centres, accountancy, IT services, or an equivalent people-and-service-heavy environment. Adjacent sectors considered.
• Corporate rigour from FTSE or PE-backed environments is welcome. This is a function where structured thinking, documentation, and repeatability matter.
• Genuinely AI-enabled in how you work. The group runs lean and expects the Integrations function to compound that leverage, not add administrative load.
• Willing to travel across the UK at short notice.
