Job description

Set a new pulse for healthcare!

We are looking for a Corporate Development Lead to join the Corporate Development team in Paris.

As a Corporate Development Lead, your mission will be to drive Doctolib's strategy by owning M&A and Investor Relations processes end-to-end: from origination and due diligence through valuation, execution, and strategic recommendations. You will be a key member of a lean, high-impact team sitting at the intersection of corporate finance, strategy, and Investor Relations.

This role offers something rare:direct and early access to Doctolib's top leadership and decision-making. You will be exposed to strategic information and decisions, contribute to deals that shape the company's trajectory, and build deep corporate finance expertise that few roles in the market can offer. As Doctolib's M&A activity grows (both in volume and deal size), the scope and significance of your work will grow with it.

Working closely with Product and Technology leadership, Legal, Finance, target founders, and advisors, you will play a critical role in shaping how Doctolib grows externally through acquisitions that accelerate our product, technology, and healthcare mission across Europe and beyond.

Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Own significant M&A workstreams end-to-end, from initial screening and due diligence through valuation, business planning, memo drafting, and execution support
• Run full target valuations autonomously, including DCF, trading comps, transaction comps, and business plan analysis
• Own origination streams, including pipeline management, inbound monitoring, market mapping, and market intelligence
• Contribute to Investor Relations and corporate strategy workstreams, preparing analyses, materials, and executive-level recommendations
• Write clear strategic and investment memos for senior leadership, steering committees, and board-level audiences, turning complex analyses into actionable recommendations
• Transfer knowledge to interns and junior team members, while improving the team's AI-enabled ways of working

Who you are

Before you read on: if you don't have the exact profile described below, but you feel this job description matches your skill set, we still encourage you to apply.

You could be our next team mate if you:

• Have 3–5 years of relevant M&A or Corporate Finance experience in an investment bank, M&A boutique, Corporate Development team, or VC/PE fund, with concrete exposure to live transaction processes
• Can independently build and defend a full target valuation with strong attention to detail
• Can write clear, compelling strategic and investment memos for senior audiences in both French and English, turning analysis into a concrete recommendation
• Are able to own workstreams with light supervision: you anticipate risks, raise issues early when blocked, and deliver through disciplined project management
• Are fluent in French and English (C1 or above, written and spoken)

Now it would be fantastic if you:

• Have a high interest in the e-health and broader healthcare and tech sectors, and are looking for a position that can make a significant impact on society
• Have experience in Investor Relations, ECM, fundraising, or strategic finance
• Are genuinely curious about AI and how it applies to analytical and deal work: you are familiar with how large language models work, understand the key players and trends, and have gone beyond basic usage.
• Have experience in legal negociations

What we offer

• Free comprehensive health insurance (basic package) for you and your children
• 25 days of paid vacation per year, plus up to 14 days of RTT
• Free mental health and coaching services through our partner Moka.care
• Work from abroad for up to 10 days per year thanks to our flexibility days policy
• Lunch vouchers (Swile card) worth €8.50 per working day, with €4.50 covered by Doctolib
• A subsidy from the work council to refund part of the membership to a sport club or a creative class
• 50% reimbursement of your public transport subscription
• Enrollment in Doctolib's long-term employee value sharing plan called DoctoGrowth
• ParentCare Program: Enjoy full salary coverage (100%) during your first month of birth leave and 75% during the second, covered by Doctolib
• For caregivers and workers with disabilities, a package including an adaptation of the remote policy, extra days off for medical reasons, and psychological support

The interview process

• Interview with your TA Partner (30 min): a conversation about your background, motivations, compensation expectations, and language fluency
• Interview with the Hiring Manager (1h): a deep-dive into your M&A execution experience, ownership, valuation skills, and team fit
• Case Study (1h)
• Final interview with a Senior Leader (30–45 min)
• At least two reference checks
