About the Role

We are seeking a strategic and execution-focused Director of Business Transformation to lead complex initiatives that drive organizational growth, scalability, and value creation. This role will be at the forefront of M&A integration, business transformation, and cross-functional change management, ensuring smooth alignment across teams, systems, and culture.

You'll be a trusted advisor to senior leadership, guiding the organization through transformation and integration initiatives that position us for long-term success. The ideal candidate brings deep experience in M&A integration within SaaS or technology-driven environments, understands the challenges of scaling high-growth businesses, and excels at leading through change.

What You'll Do

Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)

  • Partner with ELT and functional leaders to evaluate, plan, and execute acquisitions from due diligence through integration.
  • Lead integration planning and execution across people, systems, processes, customers, and culture.
  • Develop and maintain integration playbooks, checklists, and dashboards for consistent, repeatable success.
  • Track synergies, risks, and value creation metrics post-acquisition to measure outcomes and ensure accountability.

Business Transformation & Integration

  • Drive enterprise-wide transformation initiatives that enhance operational efficiency, scalability, and strategic alignment.
  • Map and optimize end-to-end business processes across key functions (Sales, Services, Product, Finance, People & Culture).
  • Champion change management and communication strategies to engage and align employees through transitions.
  • Identify and mitigate risks that could impact growth, performance, or compliance.

Leadership & Stakeholder Management

  • Serve as a transformation leader and trusted advisor to the CEO and ELT on integration and change readiness.
  • Lead cross-functional project teams with strong governance, accountability, and communication.
  • Provide transparent progress updates, risk assessments, and strategic recommendations to the ELT and Board.
  • Build alignment across regions and functions, balancing global scale with local execution needs.

What You'll Bring

  • 10+ years of experience in business transformation, M&A integration, or management consulting.
  • Proven success leading M&A integrations in SaaS, GovTech, or technology-enabled industries.
  • Expertise in program management, process improvement, and change management.
  • Deep understanding of scaling operations, systems, and processes in high-growth SaaS environments.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills with the ability to influence at all organizational levels.
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC2, SOX, AODA/ADA, OSHA, etc.) and cross-border workforce considerations (Canada/U.S.) is an asset.

About you

  • You are a strategic thinker with the ability to translate vision into structured, actionable plans.
  • You thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and bring calm clarity to complex situations.
  • You are a change leader who inspires trust, engagement, and confidence across teams.
  • You make data-driven decisions and use analytics to assess performance, risks, and outcomes.
  • You are a collaborative influencer who builds alignment and momentum across diverse stakeholders.
  • You bring both strategic agility and execution excellence, ensuring that transformation efforts deliver measurable impact.
