About The Role

We are seeking a detail and execution-oriented M&A Integration Manager to support the successful integration of acquisitions and strategic partnerships across GreenWaste’s environmental services platform. This role sits within the Growth & Strategy team and works at the intersection of corporate development, operations, finance, legal, HR, HSE, IT, engineering, and environmental compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead integration planning from late-stage diligence through post-close execution, including Day One readiness, 30/60/90-day plans, and longer-term integration milestones.
• Develop and maintain detailed integration plans, workstream trackers, issue logs, decision logs, risk registers, and executive status reporting.
• Carefully coordinate cross-functional integration workstreams across operations, finance/accounting, HR, IT, legal, compliance, HSE, procurement, fleet, engineering, and customer-facing functions.
• Partner with Corporate Development and Finance to translate the deal thesis into measurable integration priorities, synergy targets, integration costs, and post-close performance tracking.
• Support operational handoffs from deal execution teams to business unit and site leaders, ensuring clear ownership, timelines, dependencies, and accountability for post-close initiatives.
• Track integration risks, open issues, functional dependencies, and required decisions; escalate matters to senior leadership as needed.
• Support Day 1 planning, including employee onboarding, communications, systems access, payroll and benefits coordination, vendor and customer continuity, safety onboarding, and compliance requirements.
• Aid in aligning acquired businesses with GreenWaste policies, reporting processes, safety standards, operating procedures, compliance practices, and performance management cadence.
• Monitor synergy realization, integration costs, operational KPIs, and actual performance versus the underwriting case or acquisition plan.
• Prepare concise integration updates for senior leadership, investment committee, board-level materials, and other internal stakeholders.
• Capture lessons learned and help build repeatable integration playbooks, templates, checklists, and best practices for future acquisitions.

• Demonstrated project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple cross-functional workstreams, timelines, dependencies, and stakeholders simultaneously.
• Experience with post-merger integration, operational transformation, acquisition onboarding, business process implementation, or complex cross-functional execution projects strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with environmental services, waste management, recycling, organics, transportation, logistics, infrastructure, or other asset-heavy operating businesses preferred.
• Strong analytical and financial acumen, including comfort with KPIs, budgets, synergy tracking, integration costs, and actual performance versus deal assumptions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare concise updates for senior leadership and board-level audiences.
• Strong attention to detail, ownership mentality, and ability to operate effectively in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
• Proficiency with Excel, PowerPoint, project management tools, and collaboration platforms.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with operations, finance, legal, HR, IT, safety, compliance, engineering, and field leadership.
