This role is highly visible and cross‑functional, working closely with the CEO, CFO, executive team, and senior leaders across Product, Technology, Finance, Go‑to‑Market, and People teams.

Use AI‑powered market and competitive intelligence to identify and prioritize high‑potential opportunities.
Oversee Deal Evaluation & Execution

Apply AI‑ and model‑driven analysis to assess scenarios, synergies, and risks.
Coordinate internal stakeholders and external advisors (banking, legal, tax, accounting, technical).
Drive Integration & Value Realization
Own the post‑merger integration strategy and operating model for each transaction.
Stand up and run cross‑functional integration governance (workstreams, timelines, decision forums).
Use AI, analytics, and standardized playbooks to track integration KPIs and drive synergy realization.
Act as the single accountable owner across M&A and integration workstreams.
Partner with Product, Technology, Finance, Sales, Marketing, CS, HR, Legal, and IT to plan and execute integrations.

Proven track record leading multiple end‑to‑end M&A transactions in a highly acquisitive environment.
Experience with post‑merger integration and value realization, not just deal close.
