This position must be based in our New York City office and is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work remotely 2 days a week.
This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.
What You’ll Do:
Reporting to the Chief Legal & Integration Officer, this person will:
- Build and run a central Integration Management Office, driving disciplined planning, execution, and tracking across all workstreams (operations, finance, legal, HR, technology, commercial) for M&A integrations.
- Design and run integration governance: cadences, decision rights, issue/risk escalation and mitigation, and reporting to senior leadership and sponsors.
- Partner closely with Legal, Compliance, HR, Finance, Operations, Marketing, and Business leaders to translate deal theses into detailed integration and operating plans, including synergy realization and change management.
- Lead post-close operating model design and implementation (processes, controls, KPIs, RACI) to ensure acquired businesses are effectively integrated and scalable.
Global expansion & regulatory operationalization:
- Support Accordion’s global expansion efforts by building and operationalizing regulatory and compliance frameworks (e.g., licensing, data/privacy, employment, tax, financial/consulting regulations) into repeatable processes and playbooks that business teams can use to enter new markets.
- Translate complex regulatory requirements in key jurisdictions into clear, actionable operational processes, checklists, and workflows embedded in how we sell, deliver, staff, bill, and report.
- Establish and maintain country/region “go-to-market packs” (requirements, controls, approvals, and standard operating procedures) to enable faster, compliant market entry and scaling.
- Partner with local counsel, advisors, and internal SMEs to continuously update frameworks and processes as regulations evolve across jurisdictions.
Operational responsibilities:
- Drive cross-functional execution on both integration and expansion initiatives, ensuring alignment, accountability, and transparency across stakeholders.
- Implement tools, templates, and dashboards for IMO and global expansion programs (e.g., integration plans, risk/issues logs, milestones, KPIs, governance trackers).
- Identify and implement process improvements to streamline onboarding of acquired entities and reduce time to revenue and operational stability.
- Serve as a central point of coordination between corporate functions and business leaders for integration and expansion initiatives, ensuring decisions are timely, risks are managed, and dependencies are clear.
You Have:
- Bachelors degree in Finance, Business Administration, or related field

- Demonstrated experience leading complex, multi-jurisdictional integrations and/or global expansion programs, with a track record of building and running structured governance.
- Strong familiarity with regulatory and compliance considerations relevant to cross-border professional services (e.g., data/privacy, employment, tax, licensing), and the ability to operationalize them into business processes.
- Exceptional program management, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders and drive accountability without direct authority.
- Comfortable operating in a high-growth, entrepreneurial environment, with a bias toward structure, scalability, and execution discipline.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Advanced Excel skills and Microsoft Office Suite skills
