Role Purpose Location- Ruddington, Nottinghamshire Level - Experienced Professional Department - Finance Working Pattern - Hybrid (three days a week in the head office) Benefits -Benefits at Ideagen You'll be the person who makes sure our acquisitions actually create value. That means tracking performance against the deal assumptions, reporting to senior leadership, and project managing the financial integration so everything runs like clockwork (or as close as possible). This role is central to our growth strategy. You'll work with regional finance teams, corporate development, and senior leadership. Expect exposure to big decisions, complex challenges, and plenty of change. If you've got commercial acumen, project management superpowers, and can influence in a global matrix, you'll thrive here. Responsibilities Own the numbers. You'll track how our acquisitions are performing against the big promises-revenue synergies, cost savings, growth trajectories. If something's off, you'll spot it early and shout about it. Tell the story. Monthly and quarterly reports for senior leadership. Clear, concise, and no fluff. Fix the gaps. When things don't go to plan (and they won't), you'll work with regional teams to get them back on track. Make it visible. Design dashboards that show exactly where the value is being created-or not. Plan ahead. Lead the annual budget process for acquired entities and make sure it lines up with the original deal thesis. Then do it all again for reforecasting, challenging assumptions like a pro. And because integration is where the fun really starts: Be the glue. You'll coordinate all finance integration workstreams, manage dependencies, and keep founders and finance teams aligned. Standardise everything. Processes, controls, reporting-you'll make it all look like it belongs to the same company. Own the systems. Chart of accounts alignment, reporting tools, process standardisation. You'll make it happen. Share the knowledge. Help acquired finance teams level up. Learn and improve. Post-integration reviews to make the next one smoother.
