Own the company-wide SOP library; creation, version-control, publish, and maintain process documentation across all functional areas and branches.
Build and manage the 'SOP for SOP': the governing framework for how SOPs are requested, drafted, reviewed, approved, and revised. This is the standard everything else is built on.
Ensure stakeholder review gates are built into every SOP creation and revision so that process changes are coordinated across the teams they affect.
Partner with L&D to structure SOPs for training delivery, and route compliance-sensitive SOPs through the Quality team for review and approval before publication.
Lead process discovery at newly acquired companies assessing current workflows, systems, staffing models, and operational practices before integration begins.
Identify which acquired processes should be adopted into the Ryan standard, which should be replaced, and which require a phased transition, accounting for regional or division level nuances where they exist.
Build integration sequencing plans that define what to align, in what order, and on what timeline, balancing business continuity with the pace of integration.
Own and continuously improve Ryan's integration playbook; the governing document for how we onboard and integrate acquired companies across every functional area.
Incorporate lessons from each completed integration, ensuring the playbook reflects real experience and improves with each engagement.
Align playbook milestones with deal timelines in coordination with the Director of M&A, so integration planning begins as early in the process as possible.
Identify opportunities to improve the systems Ryan uses to run its business, including Viewpoint, project management tools, estimating platforms, and related workflows.
Coordinating systems changes through Integration, ensuring any modification to a system-dependent process is accompanied by updated documentation and training before rollout.
Maintain a systems improvement log tracking requests, status, owners, and outcomes.
Monitor process adherence across all branches, acquired and legacy, to ensure consistent execution of Ryan standards over time.
Conduct periodic process audits or self-assessments across branches, identifying drift from standard and coordinating corrective action with the appropriate Directors of Integration.
Develop practical monitoring tools that help branch leaders and integration directors track process compliance without adding unnecessary administrative burden.
