About the role

Emergence is hiring its first dedicated integration hire in the US.
The work spans two connected phases whose length depends on the deal, not a fixed calendar: Pre-close Diligence and Integration Planning, then Post-close Integration.

Responsibilities

Partner with the deal team during diligence to assess operational readiness and execution risk: systems landscape, team capacity, process maturity, and the cost and timeline to remediate what you find
Deliver a written operational assessment before Investment Committee - your read on integration risk and what it means for the value creation plan
Lead the integration management office: weekly IMO cadence, steering committee reporting, and accountability check-ins with Operating Partners and portfolio company CEOs
Create clarity in fast-moving situations: sequencing, priorities, trade-offs, and the escalations that keep workstreams unblocked
Serve as a trusted partner to acquired founders and management teams, and work hand in hand with the Operating Partners, who stay engaged throughout
Lead a structured transition to the value creation team once the business is stable, with long-tail workstreams launched under named owners
You work alongside the Operating Partners' value creation team from the start, and you lead a clean transition to them once the business is stable.
The role is foundational - the playbooks, governance, and operating rhythms you build on live deals become how Emergence integrates every company it buys.
You will build Emergence's integration playbook from live deals - capturing deal value drivers, accountability (RASCI), and the operating rhythms that make each integration faster than the last.
Comfortable building structure where an established process doesn't exist yet - you write playbooks others can run rather than executing one handed to you

Requirements

You have worked the pre-close side of deals: operational due diligence, Day 1 readiness planning, or separation/TSA work during a live transaction
Strong operating judgment and the ability to move fluidly between strategy and execution
Strong academic record or an equivalent track record of structured, rigorous work
You will report to the Head of Portfolio Operations, work closely with a senior M&A integration executive who advises Emergence and will mentor you, and (if required) direct a dedicated integration PM who supports execution.

Skills

Emergence is a permanent-hold software holding company backed by the Pritzker Organization.

Compensation

We offer competitive compensation and a full benefits package.
The base salary range for this role is $150,000-$250,000, plus a performance-based bonus and equity.
You will run multiple concurrent integrations at different stages across varied deal profiles - we are on track to acquire roughly 15 companies per year, spanning standard tuck-ins, mergers between portfolio companies, corporate carve-outs, and international targets.

Benefits

Experience on a PE or growth equity value creation or portfolio operations team running add-on integrations
Prepare Day 1 readiness: access pre-staged, ERP migration capacity booked with our finance team, benefits renewal and other calendar anchors captured, and an employee experience roadmap for the acquired team
On carve-outs, map shared services and support TSA scoping and negotiation by function, including duration, headcount allocation, and service coverage

Company info

Coordinate the functional workstreams - IT, HR, legal, CRM, and change management - and hold finance and ERP migration, which run with our StratFin team, to booked capacity and dates
