Integration Director – PE-Backed Financial Services

We’ve been retained on a mandate to hire a top-tier Post-Merger Integration (PMI) Director into a high-growth, private equity–backed financial services platform. This is a pivotal role at the heart of an active M&A strategy where execution directly translates into EBITDA.

The opportunity

You’ll take ownership of integration across a live deal pipeline, ensuring acquisitions deliver on their investment thesis. This isn’t about process for process’ sake, it’s about turning deals into measurable value.

What you’ll do

  • Lead end-to-end integration across multiple concurrent acquisitions
  • Deliver tangible synergies, both cost optimisation and revenue growth
  • Drive operating model alignment, simplification, and scale
  • Partner closely with senior leadership and investors to track value creation

What we’re looking for

  • A proven track record in Post-Merger Integration within PE-backed or highly acquisitive environments
  • Strong experience in financial services (essential)
  • Comfortable operating at pace, navigating ambiguity, and owning outcomes
  • Commercial mindset with a clear focus on EBITDA delivery

Why this role stands out

  • Direct line of sight to value creation and exit outcomes
  • High exposure to C-suite and private equity stakeholders
