We are hiring a Director of Corporate Development to build and execute the company's inorganic growth agenda. This is a hands-on, full-lifecycle role: originating targets, building the investment case, running diligence, negotiating structure and documentation, and quarterbacking integration after close.
The role sits close to the CEO, CFO, and Board. There are no layers between you and the decision, which means the work you produce is the work that gets decided on.
This is a builder's seat, not a manager's seat. You will be the second senior deal skilled in a lean function, and the person in this role does the work: builds the model, writes the deck, marks up the agreement, and runs the integration checklist. If you want ownership of a transaction end to end and direct visibility at the top of the company, that trade is available here. If you are looking to direct a team that produces the work for you, this is not the right seat.
Support will build out over time as the function scales, and you will shape what that team looks like.
