M&A Finance Integration Lead

About the Role

As a M&A Finance Integration Lead, you will own and scale OpenAI’s finance integration model. This is a highly cross-functional, transactions driven role for someone who can bring structure to ambiguity, translate deal complexity into executable workplans, and drive successful M&A outcomes across multiple teams.

We’re looking for someone to be the central point of accountability to oversee finance workstreams across the full M&A lifecycle. You’ll ensure integrations are executed cleanly, financial risks are mitigated early, and our books, controls, and systems remain stable as OpenAI scales.

In this role you will:

• Define and build standardized, scalable M&A finance integration frameworks.

• Drive consistent execution across multiple, simultaneous M&A integrations.

• Ensure timely, accurate M&A diligence including historical financials, revenue, equity, tax, and procurement.

• Lead integration planning for deal close readiness across accounting, valuation, payroll, banking, entities, and controls.

• Translate deal terms and integration strategy into actionable workplans, timelines, and dependencies.

• Ensure on track deal execution accounting, operational integration, systems cutover, and reporting.

• Proactively surface post-close deal integration risks and drive mitigation plans.

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• 10+ years of experience across M&A, deal integration and finance transformation, ideally in an Investment Banking/PE backed environment and/or high-growth technology company.

• Demonstrated experience leading multiple, concurrent M&A negotiations and deal integrations with complex cross-functional dependencies.

• Strong understanding of deal accounting, controls and reporting in a fast changing environment.

• Exceptional stakeholder management and executive communication skills.

• A Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business Administration, or a related field (CPA or MBA a plus).
