1 Openings
### Opportunity Overview
A high-growth, multi-entity business is accelerating its inorganic growth strategy to expand across manufacturing, supply chain, and adjacent capabilities.
With strong scale, category depth, and a clear ambition to build a market-leading platform, the company is actively pursuing acquisitions, partnerships, and strategic investments.
This role will anchor end-to-end Corporate Development, working directly with leadership to drive growth through M&A.
### Role Summary
This is a CEO-facing deal leadership role.
You will own the full lifecycle of Corporate Development — from deal sourcing to execution and integration — and act as a strategic partner in shaping long-term growth.
This is not a pure advisory role.
This is an execution-heavy mandate with direct ownership of outcomes.
### Immediate Priorities (First 3–6 Months)
* Build and activate a strong pipeline of acquisition targets (manufacturing-led businesses)
* Lead live deal execution: evaluation, diligence, negotiations
* Drive strategic insights on market opportunities and white spaces
* Engage with bankers, founders, and advisors to accelerate deal flow
### Key Responsibilities
* Own end-to-end M&A lifecycle: sourcing, screening, evaluation, diligence, negotiation, and closure
* Identify and evaluate strategic adjacencies for expansion across categories and geographies
* Conduct deep-dive analysis on business models, unit economics, scalability, and risks
* Act as a key interface with investment bankers, PE/VC firms, consultants, and founders
* Advise CEO, CFO, and leadership team on acquisitions and strategic initiatives
* Support post-acquisition integration planning and execution
* Build and maintain a strong deal pipeline aligned with strategic priorities
### Ideal Candidate
* 8+ years in Corporate Development / Investment Banking / Transaction Advisory
* Strong track record of end-to-end M&A execution (not just advisory exposure)
* Experience in manufacturing or asset-heavy businesses preferred
* Strong business judgment with ability to evaluate opportunities beyond financial models
* High ownership mindset with ability to operate in ambiguity
* Strong stakeholder management and negotiation skills
### What Will Not Work
* Pure advisory profiles without deal ownership or execution experience
* Candidates without exposure to complex transactions or scale
* Low ownership, research-heavy profiles without closure experience
### Why This Role
* Direct access to CEO and leadership on high-impact decisions
* Opportunity to lead real M&A outcomes, not just advise
* Exposure to large-scale, multi-entity business with strong growth momentum
* Ability to shape long-term strategy through acquisitions and partnerships
