Manager, Business Integration

JustinBradley’s client, a payment processing company, is seeking a Manager, Business Integration to support integration initiatives within its Finance Shared Services organization. This role will be responsible for coordinating and driving established integration project plans across functional teams, with a strong focus on Procure-to-Pay (P2P), supplier payments, accounting services, and month-end close activities. The ideal candidate will be highly organized, comfortable managing multiple workstreams and dependencies, and confident holding stakeholders accountable for their assigned deliverables. Rather than simply tracking whether tasks are complete, this person should be able to understand the process, ask the right questions, validate completion, identify potential gaps, and escalate issues when needed. Direct M&A experience is not required; strong project coordination skills and an understanding of Finance, P2P, or Shared Services processes are more important.
