About This Role:
iRhythm is seeking an experienced, strategic, and highly operational Vice President, M&A Integrations to lead the successful integration of acquired companies and other strategic transactions. This executive will translate deal strategy into disciplined execution, protect business continuity, align cross-functional teams, and ensure that each transaction delivers its intended strategic, operational, and financial value.
Reporting directly to the SVP of Integration Management and Business Transformation, the Vice President, M&A Integrations will lead iRhythm's acquisitions through the full integration lifecycle, from supporting pre-close diligence and transaction planning through Day 1 readiness, stabilization, operating model implementation, value realization, and transition to business-as-usual ownership.
This leader will serve as the enterprise orchestrator for integration, establishing governance, clarifying accountability, managing risks and dependencies, and accelerating decisions across iRhythm and acquired organizations.
This leader will partner closely with functional leaders across Corporate Development, Operations, Commercial, Finance, Quality, Regulatory, Clinical, R&D, Product, Supply Chain, Human Resources, Information Technology, Legal, Compliance, and executive leadership. The role is highly collaborative, focused on integration planning and execution to deliver on the deal thesis of value creation rather than on target identification, valuation, transaction structuring, or deal negotiation.
Job Overview
The VP M&A Integration will help iRhythm establish an enterprise-wide integration program capability which delivers the value capture thesis of M&As.
Specifically, this role will bring best practices to bear in designing and managing the cross-functional integration planning process, developing the tools and governance program to execute on the integration plan, and deliver regular executive and Board-level reporting mechanisms.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
Partner with Corporate Development and functional leaders during diligence to assess integration complexity, organizational impacts, operating model implications, risks, dependencies, and value creation opportunities.
Translate the transaction thesis into an actionable integration plan, inclusive of clear priorities, decision rights, milestones, and measurable outcome metrics.
Develop Day 1 readiness plans, stabilization priorities, and longer-term integration roadmaps tailored to the strategic rationale and risk profile of each transaction.
Identify critical business continuity requirements and establish mitigation and contingency plans before close.
Drive cross-functional plans for operating model alignment, organizational design, process integration, systems and data migration, customer and partner continuity, talent onboarding, and culture integration.
Own integrated milestone, dependency, risk, issue, and decision tracking; remove barriers and ensure commitments are delivered on time and within approved investment parameters.
Lead transaction close, Day 1, and major integration checkpoints, confirming readiness and escalating unresolved risks to the appropriate executive governance body.
Partner with Finance and business leaders to validate synergies, dis-synergies, one-time costs, investment requirements, and value creation initiatives.
Establish clear owners, baselines, targets, and measurement methods for strategic, operational, commercial, and financial outcomes.
Monitor and report integration health, milestone performance, synergy capture, and business impact through executive dashboards and recurring governance reviews.
Identify corrective actions and opportunities to accelerate value capture while balancing patient, customer, employee, quality, and regulatory considerations.
Lead change management and stakeholder engagement strategies that support adoption, minimize disruption, and strengthen the employee experience.
Partner with HR and business leaders on leadership alignment, organizational design, workforce transitions, retention of critical talent, and cultural integration.
Build trust and shared accountability across legacy iRhythm teams and acquired company leadership and employees.
Communicate integration priorities, decisions, progress, and implications clearly to audiences ranging from frontline teams to the Board.
Serve as a trusted advisor to the EVP, Strategy & Corporate Development and executive leadership on integration strategy, execution risk, tradeoffs, and value realization.
Lead, develop, and deploy an experienced integration team with direct accountability for integrating acquired companies, including dedicated integration leaders, program managers, and workstream resources as the portfolio requires.
Provide direction and coaching to functional integration leads, ensuring the teams doing the work have the capacity, tools, decision support, and accountability needed to deliver.
Develop and continuously improve iRhythm’s integration playbook, governance standards, diligence-to-integration handoffs, tools, templates, training, and lessons-learned processes.
Build a scalable enterprise integration capability that can support increased transaction volume and complexity over time.
