As a Corporate Development Analyst, you will be a key member of Opendoor's Finance & Strategy team, supporting the evaluation and execution of strategic transactions including acquisitions, partnerships, and investments. You’ll build financial models, conduct market research, and create materials that inform executive decision‑making on inorganic growth opportunities.

This is a high‑visibility role for someone early in their career who wants to apply rigorous financial analysis to real strategic decisions. You’ll work directly with senior leadership on deals that shape Opendoor’s future—from identifying targets and building valuation models to supporting due diligence and integration planning.

• Create investment memos and board materials that synthesize complex analyses into clear, actionable recommendations
• Support deal execution by coordinating with Legal, Finance, and external advisors

Drive Market Intelligence

• Leverage AI tools to synthesize large volumes of information from public filings, news, and industry reports
• Pioneer new AI applications in corporate development and help scale best practices across the team

What You'll Bring

• At least 2-4 years of experience in equity research (sell‑side or buy‑side), investment banking, corporate development, and/or a highly analytical finance role
• Strong financial modeling skills, including DCF valuation, trading comps, and transaction comps—you can build a model from scratch and pressure‑test assumptions
• Excellent research and analytical skills, with the ability to quickly develop informed views on companies, markets, and strategic opportunities
• AI‑native mindset—you actively use AI to accelerate analysis and improve the quality of your work
• Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to distill complex analyses into clear narratives for executive audiences
• High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple workstreams in a fast‑paced environment
• Self‑starter mentality—you take initiative, work independently, and thrive with ambiguity
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or related field
• Strong Excel/Google Sheet user with hands‑on experience with SQL, Python and/or other data analytics tools/languages
• Knowledge of NetSuite and GAAP
