Job description

Location: Remote, Europe (UK, Spain, Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine), Hybrid possible in available office locations) | Full-timeHello there, I’m Louise, VP of Operations at WebPros, and the hiring manager for this role. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working in various roles and wearing many hats across product, technology, and operations. This diverse experience has fuelled my passion for turning strategic visions into cross-functional, operational reality. If you share a common drive and are looking to make a tangible impact on our strategic delivery, this Ventures role could be a great match for you.At WebPros, Ventures drives the successful integration of newly acquired companies—aligning people, processes, and technology to deliver growth at scale. This role is the key to that mission. You’ll lead complex integration programs across multiple functions, act as the conduit between acquired teams and our global organisation, to ensure the success of our acquisitions from day one.You’ll thrive here if you’re strategic but hands-on, enjoy working across diverse teams, and have a track record of making complexity manageable. You’ll struggle if you’re looking for predefined playbooks or rigid hierarchies—we iterate, stay close to the work, and adapt constantly.Below, you’ll find everything you need to decide if this role is right for you. From our culture and work style to the specifics of the position and hiring process. We believe in transparency, so we’ve put in the effort to give you a real, inside look at what it’s like to work here.About WebProsWebPros is committed to empowering businesses worldwide through cutting-edge solutions in web hosting, billing automation, infrastructure, server management, and online marketing. Since our founding in 2017, we’ve rapidly grown into a global leader, expanding our robust portfolio to include industry-defining brands such as cPanel & WHM, Plesk, WHMCS, SolusVM, NIXStats, XOVI, SocialBee, and Sitejet.Today, we power 85 million+ websites across 900,000+ servers worldwide, backed by a 600+ strong team of dedicated professionals spanning multiple continents. At WebPros, we embrace a fully remote workplace with a focus on flexibility, autonomy, and work-life balance. Whether you prefer working from a bustling city hub or a quiet home office, we enable our teams to thrive while staying deeply connected through our strong collaborative culture.Your RoleWe’re looking for a Director of Program Management to join our Ventures function and lead the post-acquisition integration of new companies, products, and teams into the WebPros ecosystem. You’ll manage strategic programs that drive operational excellence, cross-functional alignment, and scalable growth for all newly acquired ventures. This is a high-impact, highly visible role that requires strong program management skills, stakeholder alignment, and the ability to navigate ambiguity and influence outcomes.Your Impact in the First 12 Months:We don’t believe in endless checklists of requirements. Instead, here’s what success looks like in your first 12 months:

• 30 Days: Complete onboarding, understand the WebPros ecosystem and Ventures Toolkit, build a stakeholder map, and review current and past integration efforts.
• 60 Days: Start supporting an active integration and own defined workstreams. Begin iterating on existing templates, dashboards, and documentation based on early insights.
• 90 Days: Take full ownership of a live integration. Establish regular cadence with stakeholders, manage risks, and ensure alignment across workstreams. Contribute to internal retrospectives and drafting improvements to our playbooks.
• 6-12 Months: Lead multiple integration programs from planning through execution to integration complete. Identify recurring challenges and establish solutions that scale. Proactively improve our integration strategy and tooling while supporting pre-deal diligence and early-stage planning for upcoming acquisitions.

After your first 12 months, you will be a trusted leader across the organization. You’ll have driven meaningful integration outcomes, built repeatable playbooks, and helped shape how we scale new acquisitions across functions.You’ll thrive here if you:

• Enjoy operating at the intersection of strategy and execution, with the ability to zoom in and out across project layers.
• Have deep experience managing cross-functional programs, ideally in M&A or transformation environments.
• Are comfortable navigating ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, and driving clarity across complex organisations.
• Bring strong self-direction and take ownership over outcomes, not just tasks.
• Communicate clearly and proactively—up, down, and sideways.

You might struggle here if you:

• Prefer working with rigid processes and fixed reporting structures.
• Need detailed instructions rather than working autonomously.
• Are uncomfortable challenging assumptions or managing resistance to change.
• Avoid cross-functional collaboration, or find stakeholder alignment exhausting.

How We Work

• Team Structure: This role stands as an Independent Contributor, primarily collaborating on a day-to-day basis with project teams. However, in terms of reporting structure, it is part of the 12-person Operations team. We operate in a matrixed setup with project-based collaboration. Integration programs are supported by cross-functional leads from Product, Engineering, HR, Finance, Legal, Sales and Marketing.
• Workflows & Methodologies: While there’s no one-size-fits-all model, we apply agile-inspired workflows with flexibility depending on the acquisition. We prioritize continuous learning, iteration, and delivering business impact over rigid process adherence.
• Collaboration & Stakeholders: You’ll collaborate closely with the VP of Operations and VP of M&A in addition to key department leaders across our business. Your success will depend on building trust quickly and aligning diverse perspectives without formal authority.
• Team Rituals & Meetings: Typical cadence includes integration kick-offs, cross-functional syncs, leadership status updates, and internal retrospectives. You’re empowered to adjust rhythms depending on project scope and velocity.
• Tech Stack & Tools: We use Slack, Confluence, Microsoft Office Suite, and various internal dashboards to manage integrations and share updates. You’ll also maintain and refine templates, trackers, and documentation within our Ventures Toolkit.
• Reporting & Performance: Integration performance is tracked via weekly updates, executive dashboards, and outcome-based KPIs. Your success will be measured by cross-functional alignment, on-time delivery, risk mitigation, and improvements to our integration strategy.
