Manage integration logistics such as onboarding activities, access and equipment needs, scheduling, documentation, stakeholder lists, and key integration events.
Maintain integration financials, including budgets, forecasts, actuals, purchase orders, invoices, contractor spend, variances, and supporting documentation; flag inconsistencies and emerging risks.
Inventory the broader technology stack used by each acquired firm, documenting tools, contracts, owners, dependencies, renewal considerations, and transition questions for review by functional and technology leads.
Monitor progress across workstreams, identify gaps or conflicting inputs, assess potential downstream impacts, and prepare clear issue summaries with practical response options for the Marketing Operations Lead.
Provide capability leads with coordinated information, trackers, access, follow-up, and administrative support so they can focus on specialized integration delivery.
Apply and improve integration playbooks, templates, governance routines, decision logs, and handoff documentation to make onboarding more consistent and repeatable across firms.
Support executive status reporting and clean transition into BAU ownership by consolidating progress, financials, risks, decisions, documentation, training, and open actions.
Other duties as assigned.
