Job Description

Job Purpose The Corporate Development team drives the company’s long-term growth and strategic evolution. As Senior Corporate Development team member, you will own end-to-end inorganic growth roadmap — from scouting and originating deals through evaluation, execution, and handoff to integration. You will bring deep, hands-on experience from the venture capital ecosystem and act as a primary connector between external market opportunities and internal executive leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• 1. Strategy & Market Intelligence
• ● Partner with senior executives to define and refine the company’s inorganic growth roadmap.
• ● Run continuous macroeconomic and industry research to surface emerging trends, market disruptions, and high-fit targets.
• ● Track market developments, precedent transactions, and comparable companies.
• ● Own and maintain a proactive pipeline of acquisition, investment, and partnership targets.
• 2. Deal Scouting & Sourcing
• ● Actively scout and originate deals across the VC ecosystem — founders, venture funds, growth investors, and strategic networks.
• ● Build and deepen relationships with VCs, investment bankers, PE firms, and target company leadership.
• ● Screen inbound and outbound opportunities against corporate strategic criteria with clear go / no-go judgment.
• ● Develop sharp strategic rationale and business cases for C-suite and Board review.
• 3. Deal Management
• ● Own the deal book: prioritization, stage tracking, stakeholder alignment, and decision cadence.
• ● Coordinate due diligence and manage data rooms on live transactions.
• ● Orchestrate internal cross-functional teams (Legal, Finance, Tax, HR, Product, Operations) and external advisors through diligence.
• ● Keep executives current on deal status, risks, and trade-offs with crisp, decision-ready updates.
• 4. Drive Execution
• ● Lead project management of the full transaction lifecycle from LOI through definitive documentation and close.
• ● Drive momentum across counterparties, advisors, and internal owners so deals move from interest to signed outcome.
• ● Surface blockers early and resolve them with clear ownership and timelines.
• ● Ensure commercial, legal, and financial workstreams stay aligned to the deal thesis through closing.
• 5. Integration & Post-Closing Support
• ● Partner with operational teams to design post-merger integration playbooks.
• ● Help ensure projected financial and operational synergies are tracked and realized after close.
• Role Requirements & Qualifications
• Education & Experience
• ● CA / MBA preferred
• ● 6–8 years of relevant experience, with meaningful hands-on time in the VC ecosystem (venture capital, growth equity, corporate venture, or VC-facing corpdev / M&A)
• ● Proven track record in deal scouting, deal management, and driving deals through execution (not only analysis or support)
• ● Comfort operating as an individual contributor who can also lead cross-functional deal teams
• ● Strong judgment on strategic fit, valuation framing, and commercial diligence
• ● Excellent written and verbal communication with senior stakeholders

Required Qualifications

• ● Prior experience closing M&A, minority investments, or strategic partnerships
