Job Description

About the Role

Corporate development at enterprise scale is not about opportunistic deal-making; it is about shaping the company’s future through disciplined strategy, capital allocation, and long-term value creation. We are seeking a Director of Corporate Development to lead strategic initiatives across mergers & acquisitions, investments, partnerships, and portfolio strategy for a global, technology-driven organization operating at scale.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy, finance, product, and executive decision-making. The Director will be responsible for identifying, evaluating, and executing transactions that materially advance the company’s growth strategy, technology roadmap, and competitive position. This includes full ownership of the deal lifecycle from strategic rationale and target identification through valuation, diligence, negotiation, and post-close integration planning.

Working closely with the CEO, CFO, Strategy, Product, and Business Unit leaders, the Director of Corporate Development will translate corporate priorities into actionable inorganic growth initiatives. The role requires strong judgment, analytical rigor, and the ability to operate credibly with executives, boards, bankers, investors, and founders.

This is a high-impact leadership role for a corporate development professional who wants to move beyond transaction execution and help define where and how the enterprise grows next.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end M&A and strategic transaction execution, including sourcing, valuation, diligence, negotiation, and closing.

  • Partner with executive leadership to define an inorganic growth strategy aligned with long-term corporate objectives.

  • Build and manage a robust pipeline of acquisition, investment, and partnership opportunities.

  • Conduct financial modeling, scenario analysis, and strategic assessments to evaluate potential transactions.

  • Lead cross-functional diligence efforts across finance, legal, product, technology, operations, and HR.

  • Drive deal structuring, investment committee materials, and executive-level presentations.

  • Support post-merger integration planning to ensure value realization and operational alignment.

  • Manage relationships with bankers, advisors, investors, and potential acquisition targets.

  • Monitor market trends, competitive dynamics, and emerging technologies to inform strategy.

  • Establish best practices, governance, and execution discipline across corporate development activities.

Job Qualifications and Requirements

  • 10–15+ years of experience in corporate development, investment banking, private equity, strategy consulting, or related roles.

  • Proven track record executing complex M&A and strategic transactions within large enterprises or high-growth organizations.

  • Strong financial modeling, valuation, and analytical capabilities.

  • Deep understanding of technology-driven business models, SaaS economics, and platform strategies.

  • Experience working directly with C-suite executives and boards.

  • Ability to manage multiple transactions simultaneously while maintaining execution quality.

  • Strong commercial judgment and strategic mindset.

Personal Capabilities and Qualifications

  • Highly strategic thinker with strong execution discipline.

  • Confident executive presence with the ability to influence senior stakeholders.

  • Detail-oriented, analytical, and rigorous in decision-making.

  • Strong relationship-builder with external advisors and internal partners.

  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast-moving deal environments.

  • High integrity, sound judgment, and ownership mentality.

Strategic Support

  • Advise the CEO, CFO, and executive leadership on inorganic growth strategy and capital deployment.

  • Support long-range planning, portfolio optimization, and investment prioritization.

  • Partner with Product and Technology leaders to align acquisition strategy with platform roadmap.

  • Enable disciplined integration planning to ensure the realization of strategic and financial value.

  • Support board-level discussions on growth, strategy, and competitive positioning.

Working Conditions

  • Hybrid executive work environment with global scope.

  • Regular engagement with senior leadership, board members, and external advisors.

  • Periodic domestic and international travel for diligence, negotiations, and integration planning.

  • High-visibility role with direct impact on corporate strategy and growth trajectory.
