Senior Program Manager, M&A (UK) in London

Position Overview Senior Program Manager, M&A Integrations. Reports directly to the Head of M&A Integrations and partners closely with the General Manager, UK. This role focuses on acquisitions and expansions in the UK and EU, and the candidate is based in the UK. This role is critical in ensuring that each acquisition moves seamlessly from strategy to operational execution, unlocking the full value of Stord's investments.

What You'll Do:

• Own the integration strategy and execution for high-impact acquisitions — from diligence and pre-close readiness through full post-close integration and handover.
• Partner with Corporate Development pre-close to assess integration risks, resource requirements, and synergy capture opportunities, influencing deal design and post-close plans.
• Lead and align workstreams across Product, Finance, Sales, Technology, and Operations, ensuring clear ownership, dependencies, and progress tracking.
• Quantify, track, and report on strategic and financial synergies identified during diligence, ensuring alignment with executive sponsors and Finance on value realization.
• Evolve and mature Stord's integration playbook — standardizing best practices, templates, and governance structures to support repeatable M&A success.
• Deliver structured updates to senior leadership, escalating critical risks, dependencies, and trade-offs with clarity and precision.

Basic Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in program management, corporate development, consulting, or operations strategy, preferably within a high-growth or technology-enabled organization.
• Proven track record of leading end-to-end M&A integrations or major cross-functional programs involving significant business transformation.
• Demonstrated ability to influence and drive accountability across senior stakeholders in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.
• Strong analytical skills, including the ability to interpret financial models, KPIs, and operational metrics related to synergy tracking and performance outcomes.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to distill complex information into clear, actionable insights for executive audiences.
• High attention to detail with a history of building scalable frameworks, project structures, and playbooks.

Bonus Points:

• Residency in the UK strongly preferred.
• Direct experience in post-merger integration, corporate development, or supply chain / logistics technology environments.
• Familiarity with systems and process integrations across Finance, HRIS, ERP, and WMS platforms.
• Expertise with project management tools (Asana, Jira, Smartsheet) and dashboarding tools (Domo, Looker, PowerBI).
• Exposure to pre-close diligence and integration readiness assessments.
