Job Details

Position Summary

This Director role is a senior integration leader who drives business value across Digital Workplace products — spanning productivity, endpoint, voice, and collaboration platforms — with a primary focus on leading end-to-end M&A integration execution. From sign-to-close through post-close stabilization, this leader owns the sequenced, cohesive, and user-centric integration experience that brings acquired entities into alignment with enterprise standards and strategy.

By bridging target-state technology, process, and change management, this role translates business needs and M&A objectives into clear integration plans that accelerate productivity, reduce friction, and improve adoption. The dedicated M&A focus enables the organization to deliver integration programs more efficiently while allowing product teams to remain concentrated on their roadmaps, lifecycle priorities, and operational demands.

PRIMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

M&A Integration Leadership

• Lead end-to-end M&A integration execution for Digital Workplace Services, with primary ownership from sign-to-close through post-close delivery and stabilization.
• Partner with pre-deal and strategy teams to ensure early alignment and readiness, transitioning seamlessly into hands-on integration leadership once acquisitions move into execution phases.
• Drive the integration of digital workplace capabilities across acquired entities — including collaboration platforms, endpoint environments, and related workplace technologies.
• Translate M&A objectives into clear execution plans, messaging, and priorities, aligning peers and senior leaders throughout the integration lifecycle.
• Anticipate integration risks, dependencies, and change impacts by leveraging deep M&A experience, proactively addressing them during transition periods.
• Partner with peers to balance M&A execution demands with ongoing service delivery, ensuring integration outcomes meet enterprise standards for digital workplace experience and performance.
• Coordinate across domains and stakeholders to ensure M&A initiatives are delivered with speed, clarity, and minimal business disruption.

Business & IT Strategy

• Work with internal and external customers to understand business needs and contribute to the development and evolution of IT strategy.
• Manage the development and implementation of IT initiatives — including those arising from acquisitions — to support broader business strategy.
• Collaborate with division directors and key stakeholders to coordinate and align objectives and functions across multiple functional areas.

Relationship & Stakeholder Management

• Provide a strong leadership presence during M&A activities, demonstrating exceptional organizational, communication, and relationship-building skills.
• Collaborate with clients and internal partners to discern business trends, surface opportunities, and approach issues with a win/win mindset.
• Seek opportunities to contribute to positive outcomes for clients, stakeholders, and organizational members — particularly during periods of transition.

Governance, Finance & Vendor Management

• Participate in the development and management of IT service and integration budgets, ensuring high-quality services are delivered at optimal cost.
• Provide advice and counsel on M&A vendor relationships, contract development, and service-provider performance — especially as vendor landscapes shift through acquisitions.
• Ensure compliance with policies, procedures, and standards across both steady-state and integration environments.

Change Management & Communications

• Generate appropriate communication, process, and educational plans that mitigate the disruption of change — critical during M&A transitions.
• Identify and remove obstacles to change while supporting an environment of open, upward communication across all staff.
• Communicate organizational and integration information through department meetings, one-on-one meetings, and other vehicles to maintain positive morale and transparency.

Resource & Talent Management

• Meet regularly with team members
