Data Integration Manager Jobs Near Me

Position Summary

The Sr. Manager, Integration Architecture is a senior technical leader within the IT Integration Management Office (IMO) responsible for defining and governing the integration architecture for M&A transactions. This role establishes target architecture alignment, standardized integration patterns, and technical guardrails across identity, applications, data, infrastructure, cloud, network, and security domains.

Partnering closely with Enterprise Architecture, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, and Application teams, the Sr. Manager ensures solutions enable rapid Day 1 readiness, low-risk integration execution, and scalable technology environments that support long-term value realization. The role drives consistent, repeatable integration approaches that improve speed, cost predictability, and technical outcomes across the full M&A lifecycle: IT due diligence close readiness Immediate stabilization (Day 1) Integration (Day 1-100) optimization/value realization (Year 1-2).

Key Responsibilities Integration Architecture Strategy

• Serve as the technical authority for IT integration architecture across M&A transactions.
• Define integration patterns that balance speed, cost efficiency, scalability, and risk management.
• Establish architecture principles that support repeatable and consistent deal execution.
• Ensure integration strategies align with enterprise target architecture and platform roadmaps.
• Translate business integration objectives into technical solution approaches.

Target Architecture Alignment

• Evaluate target company technology environments and determine alignment to enterprise architecture standards.
• Define future-state architecture approaches across applications, infrastructure, identity, security, and data domains.
• Identify technical constraints, dependencies, and sequencing considerations impacting integration timelines.
• Determine rationalization, coexistence, or migration strategies for acquired technology environments.
• Provide architectural input into separation planning for divestitures or carve-outs.

Day 1 Readiness & Stabilization Architecture

• Define minimum viable integration architecture required to support Day 1 business continuity.
• Establish architecture approaches supporting identity federation, secure connectivity, collaboration tooling, and core operational systems.
• Ensure architecture decisions minimize operational disruption during close and early integration phases.
• Partner with infrastructure and security teams to validate readiness of connectivity, access, and data exchange capabilities.

Integration Patterns & Technical Standards

• Develop standardized integration patterns supporting common M&A scenarios (full integration, carve-out, hybrid coexistence).
• Define reusable architectural frameworks that accelerate solution design across future transactions.
• Establish technical guardrails to ensure integration decisions align with cybersecurity, compliance, and data governance requirements.
• Promote modular integration approaches that reduce technical complexity and enable scalability.

Cross-Functional Architecture Governance

• Partner with Enterprise Architecture to ensure alignment with enterprise standards and technology roadmaps.
• Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to ensure integration designs meet security and regulatory requirements.
• Support infrastructure, application, and data teams in resolving technical integration challenges.
• Provide architectural oversight to ensure consistent implementation of integration patterns across workstreams.

Risk Identification & Technical Due Diligence Support

• Identify technical risks, integration complexity drivers, and architecture-related cost implications during due diligence.
• Evaluate technical debt, system interdependencies, and architectural constraints impacting deal timelines.
• Provide structured input into integration cost estimates and sequencing considerations.
• Support risk mitigation planning through architecture decision frameworks.

Value Realization & Optimization Enablement

• Ensure architectural decisions support long-term platform consolidation, data integration, and technology rationalization.
• Identify opportunities to reduce technical debt and improve system interoperability post-close.
• Enable scalable technology environments supporting enterprise growth and operational efficiency.
• Contribute to development of integration playbooks and architecture decision frameworks that improve deal execution maturity.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• 10+ years of experience in solutions architecture, enterprise architecture, or technology integration roles.
• Experience supporting mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or complex enterprise transformation initiatives.
• Strong understanding of enterprise architecture domains including identity, infrastructure, networking, applications, cloud platforms, and data architecture.
• Experience defining architecture patterns for system integration, coexistence strategies, and technology rationalization.
• Familiarity with identity and access management concepts, secure connectivity, cloud platforms, and enterprise application ecosystems.
• Ability to evaluate technical environments and translate findings into structured architecture approaches.
• Strong collaboration skills with ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders.
• Experience operating in global, matrixed environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience within an Integration Management Office (IMO), enterprise transformation office, or corporate M&A function.
• Background in enterprise architecture frameworks (e.g., TOGAF or similar structured approaches).
• Experience supporting complex carve-outs or multi-entity integrations.
• Familiarity with hybrid cloud environments, identity federation, and enterprise integration platforms.
• Exposure to ERP, HRIS, CRM, data platforms, cybersecurity tooling, and collaboration ecosystems.
• Experience developing architecture standards, playbooks, or reusable technical frameworks.
