This is a highly cross-functional role that combines strategic thinking, business analysis, and hands-on execution. The ideal candidate is analytical, organized, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and eager to build expertise across the M&A lifecycle.

• Partner with Marketing, Sales, Product, Finance, Corporate Development, and acquired company teams to align priorities and drive integration activities.
• Support marketing operating model decisions, resource planning, integration investments, and identification of potential synergies.
• Identify integration risks and recommend mitigation strategies while balancing Salesforce priorities with the acquired company's existing business and GTM motion.
• Develop and maintain integration plans, executive updates, milestone trackers, and decision-support materials.
• Coordinate cross-functional meetings, document decisions, manage action items, and drive accountability for key deliverables.
