I am delighted to be working with a highly successful international market leader within the scientific field, in assisting them with recruiting for a M & A Integration Manager. The business has grown significantly and successfully over recent years and acquisition has been a key driver of growth supplemented by organic growth of the core business. Now the business operates and has a significant global presence in Europe, America and China with further operations in other locations. As many of the acquisitions derive from previously owner managed businesses, existing locations and skill set of employees are often considered key to success so integration can be challenging geographically.  However, the business believes that with the right vision, focus and measures that both the new business and the group as a whole are best served by adapting and changing so that the new business becomes consistent with Group. The role of the M & A Integration Manager is to work collaboratively with the acquisition team, the relevant Divisional Business unit, corporate functions and the acquired business to identify, plan, drive and report on integration of the new business.  Speed of execution and controlled change are highly valued in this transformation process.
