Desirable

• We’re looking for an M&A Integrations Lead/ Senior Associate to own the integration lifecycle from the moment acquisition conversations begin, through deal closure, to full operational integration
• This role is less about deal structuring and more about execution
• You’ll be the connective tissue between cross-functional teams, ensuring we’re ready for Day 1—and beyond
• This is a unique opportunity to build the integration discipline at Nava, laying the foundation for scalable, repeatable success as we grow
• Lead integration planning and execution for acquired companies, from early conversations to full onboarding
• Partner closely with internal stakeholders (Product, Ops, People, Finance, GTM) to ensure alignment and readiness across all functions
• Drive planning and execution—ensuring every team is prepared and no detail falls through the cracks
• Develop integration roadmaps, timelines, KPIs, and progress tracking systems
• Flex and adapt as new information surfaces—this is not a static playbook
• Identify risks, anticipate roadblocks, and proactively surface solutions
• Act as a strategic thought partner for leadership during acquisition planning
• Lay the groundwork to eventually build a repeatable integration function and team over time
