About the role
Join us as a Integration Manager and make an invaluable contribution to our Food Safety & Biosecurity!
We're seeking an Integration Manager to lead the planning and delivery of post-acquisition integration as Fera grows. Working as part of a small Corporate Development team, you will take ownership of bringing acquired businesses into Fera, ensuring each acquisition delivers its intended strategic and financial value. You will also support the team on deal execution, giving you exposure to the wider transaction lifecycle.
This is an exciting time to join Fera Science, a high-growth business operating in the broader testing, inspection and certification (TIC) market, backed by private equity firm Bridgepoint. As a leading provider of scientific services, diagnostics, research and consultancy across the agri-food, environmental and biosecurity sectors, Fera is pursuing ambitious growth plans supported by both organic expansion and targeted acquisitions.
This role is ideally suited to someone with a track record of delivering post-acquisition integration, whether in-house, within a PE-backed business, or in an integration, transformation or consulting role, who is looking to take ownership of integration in a buy-and-build environment. You will design integration plans, run the integration management office, coordinate functional workstreams and track synergy delivery, working closely with senior leaders, the management teams of acquired businesses and external advisers. M&A transaction experience would be helpful, and you will contribute to due diligence and deal execution, but your primary focus will be making acquisitions work once the deal is done
