About Shop Circle

Shop Circle is one of the world’s leading B2B software providers. With 280+ team members across 5 countries, we’re scaling rapidly and building a category-defining company at the intersection of B2B and software. Backed by top-tier investors, we’ve raised over $100M and are on a mission to empower the next generation of online businesses.

M&A is central to our growth strategy. We acquire and support exceptional software companies, partnering closely with founders to ensure smooth transitions and unlock long-term commercial value. Our model blends autonomy with structured post-acquisition support - enabling both integration and acceleration.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a smart, hands-on operator to lead the onboarding and growth acceleration of our newly acquired companies. You’ll join post-signing, validate the investment thesis, and translate it into a clear, actionable value creation plan focused on driving revenue growth . Working closely with founders, functional experts, and the group COO, you’ll ensure each acquisition is set up for success from Day 1.

This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys creating structure, managing momentum, and building playbooks that scale.

Your Role

Onboarding

• Lead Day 1 and 100-day onboarding plans for newly acquired businesses
• Ensure alignment across teams, clear communication of expectations, and seamless integration of core systems and processes
• Serve as the primary contact for acquired founders during the transition

Value Creation

• Develop a tailored post-acquisition value creation plan with a focus on growth levers - such as pricing, GTM strategy, product packaging, and sales execution
• Work closely with internal experts (GTM, Sales Enablement, HR, Finance) to coordinate and track execution
• Monitor progress, resolve roadblocks, and maintain operational cadence

Platform & Playbooks

• Capture lessons from each acquisition to refine our onboarding and growth acceleration playbooks
• Contribute to a scalable, repeatable model for post-acquisition value creation across the group

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in strategy consulting (preferably within a Private Equity practice), PE operating teams, post-merger integration, or commercial operations in a SaaS environment. Prior exposure to M&A or private equity-backed businesses is strongly preferred.
• Experience creating or executing growth plans (e.g., GTM, pricing, packaging, sales)
• Strong cross-functional project management and stakeholder influence skills
• Confidence working directly with founders and executive teams
• A balance of strategic thinking and executional rigor

Why Join Us?

• Play a foundational role in scaling a high-performing, acquisition-driven software group
• Gain exposure to both M&A integration and growth strategy in a single role
• Collaborate directly with founders, functional leads, and the COO
• Contribute to a repeatable, high-impact post-acquisition model
• Grow into senior leadership or general management within the portfolio
