This role ensures system continuity and reliability for current DFM customers and staff, while managing and executing a phased migration strategy to group-wide solutions.

• Cross-functional Coordination: Liaise with Product, Support, and Commercial teams to align integration plans with business goals and customer commitments.
• Standardisation & Transition: Ensure that the DFM systems remain compliant with Zutec group IT and security standards throughout the transition.
• Future M&A Integrations: Support post-acquisition integrations for future group acquisitions, applying lessons learned from the DFM integration and helping develop scalable playbooks.
• People Management: Lead the DFM technical team during the transition, ensuring clear priorities, effective and efficient delivery, and a smooth transfer of knowledge.
• Governance & Reporting: Track and report progress on all integration initiatives, escalating risks and dependencies, and delivering updates to senior stakeholders.

Key Competencies
