M&A Integration Project Manager

DOXA was founded in 2016 to bring a refreshing change to the specialty insurance industry. Our mission is to create specialized insurance programs and operations through business development and accretive acquisitions. DOXA's award-winning approach accelerates growth and satisfaction for MGAs, MGUs, agents, carriers, wholesalers, affinity companies, and start-ups.

DOXA is seeking an experienced M&A Integration Project Manager to lead the successful onboarding, integration, and launch of newly acquired companies, programs, and teams.

• Foster transparency, accountability, and alignment across all stakeholders.

PMO Maturity & Continuous Improvement

• Contribute to the evolution of DOXA's I/PMO by refining frameworks, tools, governance, and delivery standards.
• Improve execution speed while maintaining appropriate controls in a regulated environment.

The ideal candidate will bring a combination of integration experience, insurance expertise, and strong execution leadership, including:

• Bachelor's degree in business, Management, or a related field (required).
