Job description
Director, M&A and Corporate Strategy NYC Manhattan | HYBRID *Unable to sponsor*
We are seeking a Director, M&A and Corporate Strategy. As the function’s second and most senior professional, you will lead opportunity sourcing, evaluation, transaction execution, and portfolio-level strategy for our businesses.
The role will start off as a stand-alone, individual contributor, and initially will not lead a team, combining active deal leadership with ongoing market and sector development. As the function grows, this Director will help build/hire and lead a junior corporate development team.
The corporate development team partners closely with business leaders and senior executives to identify opportunities that strengthen the portfolio, expand capabilities, and support long-term value creation.
Key Responsibilities
Develop investment recommendations as the first pen on investment theses, financial models, investment committee memos, and board and management presentations.
Form and defend an independent point of view on opportunities using qualitative and strategic considerations—including structural market position, durable competitive advantage, demand durability, and fit with the company—alongside financial analysis.
Lead active deal evaluations by owning workplans, data room coordination, diligence tracking, timelines, and cross-functional and advisor management from evaluation through closing.
Connect opportunities to portfolio strategy by identifying adjacencies, capability gaps, and inorganic growth themes across the company’s operating businesses.
Build sector expertise between deal cycles through expert networks, banker relationships, industry conferences, management meetings, and analysis of early-stage and venture activity.
Develop and maintain a disciplined sourcing pipeline with a ranked, auditable view of potential platform and tuck-in opportunities, while continuously improving screening and diligence processes.
Build trusted external and internal relationships with bankers, management teams, advisors, operating company leaders, and corporate leadership.
Strengthen the corporate development function by improving processes and tools and, as needs evolve, building the business case for recruiting, onboarding, and managing a junior corporate development professional.
Must-Have Qualifications
Experience developed through a leading management consultancy, private equity firm, corporate development team, or comparable strategy and investment environment.
Significant experience in corporate strategy, corporate development, management consulting, private equity, or a similarly rigorous environment, with demonstrated ability to lead complex workstreams or transactions with limited oversight.
Strong business and investment judgment, including the ability to form, articulate, and defend an independent perspective rather than simply present analysis.
Excellent project leadership skills and the ability to manage multiple stakeholders, advisors, workstreams, and deadlines through complex deal processes.
Executive presence and communication skills, with the ability to build credibility with senior bankers, management teams, operating executives, and corporate leadership.
Strong financial modeling skills and fluency in Excel and PowerPoint is required.
Successful completion of a drug screen and/or background check required.
Preferred Qualifications
Exposure to healthcare, healthcare IT, information services, or software businesses.
Experience evaluating opportunities through both strategic and financial lenses and connecting individual investments to broader portfolio strategy.
