The Role
We are already able to solve many of the pain points that creators face: growing an audience, optimizing content, and getting monetized but we would like to both diversify our monetization engine and scale up our content portfolio. We are planning to do so organically and through M&A.
Thus, we are seeking a highly motivated and organized VP, Post-Merger Integrations to join our growing team. This crucial, individual contributor role will lead our M&A integration practice. He/she will work cross-functionally starting before the acquisition of new businesses through the transition to business as usual. They will be responsible for the development and execution of a comprehensive plan for each acquisition (including the approach, key milestones, and management of services agreements) while also assisting with the day-to-day execution of the integration process, pre-integration diligence and driving proactive issue resolution.
What You Can Expect First and foremost, you will maximize the value of M&A targets by developing and setting up an M&A integration playbook including processes, methodologies, tools, and best practices to accelerate speed and effectiveness of future integrations.
You will lead cross functional teams (including Finance, People, Legal, IT, Brand, Business Operations etc…) providing clear direction such that everyone understands what their role is and remains focused on the right things at the right time during the M&A integration project.
You will be a project manager that defines deliverables and provides visibility to project progress (milestones, risks), budget, synergies, KPIs as well as proactively manages issues, risks, action items, etc.
You will facilitate collaboration sessions to address key integration concerns and seek solutions with cross functional parties –both from acquired entities and Jellysmack.
You will partner with the integration teams, senior leadership and relevant parties on the PMI integration types, methodology, principles, expectations, timeline, and definitions of success.
You will be a self starter who can take a corporate first approach and be uniquely flexible to maneuver where other managers cannot. You will be expected to determine what to do, where to focus and who to contact.
You will understand both companies’ historical and forecasted financial performance and how the combined entity will perform, but you will manage only the process, not the business.

You have project management experience and know how to lead company-wide change through alignment, storytelling and connecting the dots.
