About the role
The M&A Integrations Manager is the second member of Orion's Integrations team, reporting directly to the Vice President of Integrations. As Orion's acquisition pipeline accelerates, this role exists to add capacity and rigor to the integration program. This role is responsible for running individual integrations as a hands-on project manager while supporting the VP across the broader portfolio. This is a project and program management role at its core. You will lead cross-functional integration workstreams, hold stakeholders to timelines, manage the administrative and coordination engine behind multiple concurrent integrations, and produce weekly executive status reporting. Success in this role demands exceptional change management and communication skills as you will be supporting operating company leaders and teams through the biggest transition of their careers. This is a builder's seat on a small, high-trust team. You will own real outcomes early, wear multiple hats, and help shape how Orion's integration playbook scales.
Requirements
- Core Competencies
- Project and program management discipline - you can run multiple integrations at once, build and maintain detailed project plans, sequence dependencies, and drive workstreams to on-time completion without losing the thread on any one of them.
- Exceptional change management - you understand that integration is fundamentally about people navigating change. You communicate with empathy and clarity, anticipate resistance, and help teams feel supported rather than managed through transition.
- Exceptional communication - your written and verbal communication is clear, concise, and audience-appropriate, from a field technician introduction session to an executive status update. You can frame an integration support role as collaborative rather than prescriptive.
- Ownership mentality - when something is not right, it becomes your problem to solve, even if you did not create it. You take full accountability for the integrations you lead.
- Proactive and forward-looking - you anticipate what each integration needs days and weeks ahead, surface risks before they become problems, and act without waiting to be asked.
- Resourceful and self-directed - when you encounter an unfamiliar tool, system, or situation, you figure it out. No two integrations are identical and you adapt rather than stall.
- Comfort with ambiguity and a fast pace - Orion moves quickly and so must this role. You prioritize well, context-switch between integrations, and stay organized under a high volume of concurrent demands.
- Low ego, high collaboration - you partner effectively across Finance, Operations, Systems, Talent, and operating company leadership, building consensus without direct authority.
- Continuous improvement mindset - you do not accept the status quo. You are always learning, question how things are done today, and look for better ways to run processes and strengthen the playbook over time.
- Financial fluency - you are comfortable with financial reporting, month-end close concepts and processes. While you lead a cross-functional integration, the highest integration risk area is in the finance function.
- Experience and Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience in project/program management, management consulting, transaction services, audit, or a related analytical role, ideally including Big 4, MBB, or comparable professional services experience.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects or workstreams to deadline.
- Finance or accounting foundation. Comfortable reading financial statements and engaging with finance leaders on close processes, reporting, and sy
