M&A and Post Merger Integration

Hi there,

I have been contacted by a recruiter for a Corporate M&A role (F500).
The recruiter has pointed out, that besides the usual M&A stuff, I would be heavily involved in the post merger integration of acquired companies.

Do you guys have any insights in such a role?

The recruiter also pointed out that the next step could be the CFO position of one of the acuired companies.

Any thoughts?

Thank!

Most Corp Dev roles play a large part during integration unless it's a very large company that has a very clear division between deal teams and other corporate finance functions (for instance, I believe Google specifically hires accounting backgrounds into their corporate finance team to focus on post-merger integration). My company is relatively small, so our team plays a large role during integration and getting the FP&A function up and running before moving on to the next big thing.
