Principal Program Manager - Mergers & Acquisitions

Company Description

TechHarbor Partners is a global IT consulting and digital solutions firm with over 15 years of cross-industry experience. We help businesses in the US, Canada, EMEA, and Australia solve complex technology challenges and scale with confidence. Our hybrid model blends the strategic insight of a boutique consultancy with the delivery power of a global team. We have delivered results for clients ranging from Fortune 500 enterprises to high-growth startups, focusing on a results-driven, strategy-first approach, and aligning technology with business goals to create lasting value.

Job Description

We are seeking a Principal / Senior Program Manager, M&A to be the central nervous system connecting the boardroom, the server room, and everything in between. This is a high-stakes role demanding expertise in both M&A deal mechanics and complex IT program execution. You will own the translation of deal strategy into a viable technical and operational integration plan.

This isn't a role for someone who prefers to stay in their lane. You'll orchestrate 3-5 concurrent global M&A initiatives across Due Diligence, Pre-Deal Planning, and Post-Merger Integration (PMI), ensuring financial value creation is never compromised by technical complexity.

Key Responsibilities

• Due Diligence & Synergy Quantification : Lead the technical assessment, determining IT-related risks, technical debt, and synergy opportunities (cost takeout, vendor consolidation) that inform the final valuation and transaction structure.
• Multi-Program Orchestration : Manage the entire M&A lifecycle, coordinating dozens of workstreams across finance, HR, legal, and operations, while driving the critical application systems integration / separation and infrastructure readiness.
• IT Program Leadership : Own the Pre-Deal Assessment and Post-Merger integration plans. Ensure the integration of core platforms (ERP, CRM, HRIS) and the consolidation of IT Infrastructure, security, cloud / hybrid environments (AWS, Azure) are delivered on time and on budget.
• Stakeholder Diplomacy : Balancing competing priorities from acquiring executives, target company leadership, integration committees, and regulatory bodies.
• Risk Navigation : Identifying interdependencies others miss—like how a data center consolidation impacts tax optimization or how application integration affects employee retention.

Skills Required

This role demands a leader who thrives in organized chaos, finds energy in complexity, and has the intellectual agility to switch contexts rapidly without losing sight of the bigger picture.
