Sr Integration Experience Mgr, Corporate Development Integration

About the role

The Corporate Development Integration team is seeking an experienced integration communications and onboarding leader to drive adoption of functional and business integration activities in Amazon's mergers and acquisitions (M&A). As an Integration Experience (IX) Lead, you will focus on minimizing disruption and driving engagement for acquired employees through internal communications, onboarding, training, cultural integration, and employee engagement strategies.

The IX Lead plans, creates, and executes integration enablement programs across the full integration lifecycle, from due diligence through approximately 90-100 days post-acquisition close. This role supports integrations of all sizes, both private and public company transactions, across multiple geographies, and may manage multiple concurrent integration programs. You will leverage change management best practices to accelerate time to productivity for acquired organizations by delivering pragmatic, scalable support aligned to deal goals.

Central to this role is fostering a culture of inclusion, trust, and respect in all working relationships—with acquired employees, cross-functional partners, and leadership. This is a global role requiring domestic and international travel approximately 30% of the time, with occasional short-notice travel due to the dynamic nature of M&A timelines.

  • Develop and execute communication plans for key milestones (Deal Sign & Announcement, Deal Close & Day 1 Orientation).
  • Write and review all employee-facing communications for clarity, consistency, and cross-functional alignment.
  • Develop executive communications that distill complex integration details into clear, compelling narratives.
  • Advise on organizational design communications, including sequencing and timing of reporting structure changes.
• Onboarding & Training
  • Plan and execute Day 1 Orientation events and customized onboarding experiences, including structured programs and support networks (e.g., onboarding buddies).
  • Design and deliver comprehensive training plans in partnership with cross-functional teams.
  • Equip Amazon and acquired company leaders to deliver integration messages through briefings and one-on-ones.
  • Educate cross-functional partners on IX workstreams, milestones, and employee experience considerations.
• Cultural Integration
  • Identify gaps between acquired organizations' operating norms and Amazon's ways of working, developing strategies to bridge them.
  • Design and execute cultural integration approaches, including education on Amazon's Leadership Principles and Working Backwards methodology.
  • Implement Change Champion Networks for large, complex transactions to support peer-to-peer adoption.
• Stakeholder Engagement
  • Build trusted relationships with senior leaders (Business Sponsors, VPs, acquired leadership) through direct engagement.
  • Influence, advise, and build consensus among senior leadership in ambiguous situations.
  • Proactively communicate with cross-functional teams to anticipate questions and keep them informed.
• Employee Engagement & Measurement
  • Own employee engagement measurement, including pulse surveys, onboarding surveys, and integration surveys (~90-100 days post-close).
  • Analyze employee sentiment data, identify themes, and present recommended actions to leadership.
  • Use feedback loops to proactively address concerns and remove productivity barriers.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree.
• 5+ years of experience developing, negotiating, and executing business agreements.
