Head of M&A

About the Role

The Head of M&A is a critical executive role responsible for architecting and scaling Harbor’s inorganic growth engine. Reporting directly to the CEO, this leader will own end‑to‑end M&A performance—from origination through integration—while serving as a trusted partner to Harbor’s Board and financial sponsors. Success in this role requires strategic vision, disciplined execution, and the credibility to lead complex transactions in a high‑growth, PE‑backed professional services environment.

As Head of M&A at Harbor, you will be the executive leader responsible for the overarching strategy and execution of Harbor’s M&A function. You will have primary responsibility for deal origination, execution, and integration. You will own and scale Harbor’s inorganic growth engine as a core driver of enterprise value creation, translating Harbor’s strategic roadmap into a repeatable M&A motion spanning tuck-ins, strategic adjacencies, and transformational opportunities.

You will lead a small team currently comprised of two Senior Managers, one focused on pipeline development and deal execution and one focused on integration efforts.

You’ll partner closely with your executive peers and the leadership teams in Delivery, Go-to-Market, Finance, Legal, and Enterprise Operations to ensure seamless M&A execution and integration, consistent with Harbor’s enterprise-wide strategic roadmap.

This role is both strategic and operational — defining Harbor’s market approach while ensuring rigorous execution, healthy pipeline, and high-performance culture across all M&A motions – and highly visible in-market working directly with key intermediaries and target management teams. Time allocation will flex across origination, execution, and integration, with a primary focus on sustaining a high-quality pipeline and ensuring successful deal outcomes. You will have frequent interactions with Harbor’s Board of Directors and will work closely with Harbor’s financial sponsors, BayPine.
