How you’ll make an impact

This role is a critical part of Xero’s M&A Integration team, a global team of experts responsible for seamlessly integrating acquired companies into Xero and leading any necessary separation activities.

  • Lead Integration: Define integration strategy, oversee the process, and lead cross-functional teams to ensure smooth transitions and alignment with Xero's goals.
  • Maximise Value Creation: Implement and monitor post-acquisition plans, track financial performance, and enhance integration processes.
  • Foster Collaboration & Mentorship: Build strong stakeholder relationships, communicate progress, and mentor junior team members.

Success looks like:

  • Seamless Integration: Achieve a smooth and efficient integration process, minimising disruption to both Xero and the acquired business.
  • Value Realisation: Successfully deliver on the strategic rationale and financial targets for each acquisition, capturing synergies and maximising value creation.
  • Stakeholder Alignment: Foster strong collaboration and alignment among key stakeholders, ensuring buy-in and support for the integration process.
  • Continuous Improvement: Continuously refine Xero's M&A integration approach, incorporating lessons learned and best practices.

What you'll bring with you

  • Strong strategic thinking, analytical capabilities, and problem-solving skills.
Demonstrated experience in post-acquisition or pre-separation programmes.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and drive swift progress across multiple time zones and cultures.
  • Bachelor’s degree required; MBA is a plus.
  • Relevant consulting experience.
