Integration Manager 2.6 2.6 out of 5 stars 1509 North Old Missouri Road, Springdale, AR 72764 CARDS Holdings, Inc. 54 reviews Integration Manager Job Description - Heavy Travel Position The Integration Manager deploys on-site to rapidly learn how an acquired location operates—typically with 1 to 2 weeks of lead time before close—and serves as the hands-on executor who makes the transition work in the field. This person leads the core pre- and post-acquisition integration meetings that keep the deal moving: connecting legacy company departments (Finance/Accounting, HR, Safety/Compliance, Systems/IT, Operations) with the right counterparts at the acquired business, surfacing gaps early, assigning owners, and driving follow-through. When needed, the Integration Manager can step in and run the day-to-day business for 1 to 2 weeks while coordinating the work required to plug the operation into the larger company. The Integration Manager owns on-site execution; the ASIM provides air cover to clear roadblocks, secure resources, and drive escalations/decisions. The outcome is a stable site that the region can run with clear owners, routines, and open items. Responsibilities Deploy on-site ahead of close to assess how the business runs (people, routes, customers, equipment, cash flow/billing rhythm, local constraints) and identify what must be true for a successful Day 1. Lead pre- and post-acquisition integration meetings (on-site and virtual), ensuring the right legacy departments are connected to the right acquired-company counterparts and that decisions/next steps are captured and executed. Build and maintain a stakeholder map and "who-to-call" directory (owners, dispatch, shop/maintenance, customer service, billing, safety) to accelerate issue resolution. Serve as the on-site operational quarterback during transition, ensuring safety, service continuity, and customer commitments are maintained. Step into day-to-day leadership as needed for short windows (typically 1 to 2 weeks) by coordinating dispatch/route execution, yard/fleet readiness, and frontline issue resolution. Stand up core operating routines and controls (daily huddles, route/dispatch cadence, customer service workflows, invoicing/billing handoffs, basic reporting). Coordinate transition tasks with functional partners (Finance/Accounting, HR, Safety/Compliance, and Systems/IT as needed) and ensure dependencies are sequenced and completed. Use the ASIM as air cover to remove blockers and secure decisions/resources while you drive on-site execution. Troubleshoot operational and process issues; triage incidents quickly, implement practical workarounds, and escalate blockers with clear options and impact.

Execute a clean regional transition:

document local context, open items, and confirmed owners/timelines before leaving the site. Tools & Reporting Maintain the site integration plan and task tracking (e.g., Monday.com boards) and keep status current as the on-site system of record. Provide concise progress reporting to ASIM and Acquisitions & Integration leadership (milestones completed, blockers/risks, decisions needed, ETA to handoff). Complete integration readiness/closure assessments and sign-offs prior to regional handoff.

Experience leading on-site execution, operational transitions, or implementations (industry experience welcomed but not required). Clear written and verbal communication; able to document status, decisions, and handoff requirements. Willingness to travel extensively and work on-site during integration deployments.
