About Emergence

We're a thematic holding company backed by the Pritzker Organization focused exclusively on acquiring and scaling category-defining software businesses. Our structure organizes investments into focused portfolios that function as specialized operating groups, each developing deep domain expertise, proven operational playbooks, and long-term partnerships with founders and management teams.

We combine operational rigor with a growth equity mindset—partnering closely with leadership teams to drive sustainable ARR growth, profitability improvements, and industry-leading customer outcomes.

Our current investment portfolios include:

• Emergence Mobility Technologies (AutoTech) – Next-generation vehicle acquisition and inventory management platforms
• Emergence Healthcare Technologies (HCIT) – High-efficiency billing optimization, patient engagement, and clinical care software
• Emergence Container Technologies (Cloud Infrastructure) – Modern DevOps, observability, and secure cloud performance tools
• Emergence Procurement Technologies (Supply Chain Tech) – Procurement, logistics, and manufacturing visibility systems

The Role

• We're hiring an M&A Integration Manager to run execution across active post-close integrations for Emergence portfolio acquisitions. You will work under the Head of M&A Integration and own day-to-day workstream coordination for multiple deals at a time, working directly with portfolio company leadership, Operating Partners, and functional leads.
• This is not an entry-level project management role. We are specifically looking for people who have worked inside dedicated M&A integration programs — IMO or PMO structures at consulting firms, PE-backed companies, or high-velocity acquirers — where integration was its own discipline, not a side project of IT or Finance.
• Between active deals, you build: templates, intake questionnaires, control checklists, and playbook updates that make the next integration faster.

What You'll Do

• Own Day 0 through Day 90 milestone tracking for assigned integrations: intake questionnaires, integration plan maintenance, status updates
• Facilitate post-close handover calls between deal teams, Operating Partners, and portfolio company management
• Build and maintain integration plans with milestones, owners, deadlines, and RACI matrices
• Run integration governance cadence: weekly SteerCo prep, bi-weekly workstream syncs, accountability check-ins
• Coordinate standard vendor and service providers onboarding
• Work directly with portfolio company CEOs and functional leads throughout each integration
• Maintain and update integration playbooks after each deal
• Build templates and control checklists between active deals

What We're Looking For

Required

• 2–6 years of experience in post-acquisition integration — inside an IMO, M&A PMO, or dedicated integration practice at a consulting firm or PE-backed operator
• Experience should explicitly reflect M&A integration work, not general project management or IT implementation
• Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of 90-day integration plans — not participation on an integration team
• Experience managing steering committees, workstream leads, and executive stakeholders without direct authority
• Fluent English, written and verbal — daily calls with US-based executives are a core part of this role
• B2B SaaS or software industry exposure

Nice to Have

• Big 4 M&A advisory experience (integration practice specifically)
• PE portfolio operations background
• PMP or equivalent project management certification
• Exposure to Sage Intacct, NetSuite, or similar financial systems at a coordination level
• Prior experience working with US and offshore-based teams

Why This Role

• You are one of the founding integration hires. You will build and shape the function as the portfolio grows.
• 10–15 acquisitions per year means consistent deal flow.
• Direct exposure to the Managing Partner and Operating Partners on every deal.
• As the team scales, you will manage Integration Leads and define how the function runs.

Work Arrangement

• Fully remote (US-based)
• Travel to portfolio companies during active integrations as needed
• Periodic in-person with the Emergence team expected
