Agratas is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Sons. We design, develop and manufacture high-quality, high-performance, sustainable batteries for the mobility and energy sectors.

We are a scale-up business with a start-up mentality and the backing of a well-established parent company. The UK business headquarters is in the Midlands, and we are currently building a battery manufacturing facility in Somerset and looking to complement, scale, and grow our R&D facilities in Abingdon and Coventry with the brightest minds from within the battery and EV sector.

Our battery technology roadmap is based on a foundation of world-class solutions for multiple applications. Collaborating with our technical partners, we are industrialising best-in-class high energy density and long-lasting battery cells. We are also committed to developing the next generation of battery technologies.

Can you help pioneer innovative battery solutions of the future?

We are recruiting for an experienced Corporate Development Analyst to join our Corporate Development and Corporate Strategy team. You will be responsible for providing commercial, partnership, and M&A insights in support of our strategy. You will often work with incomplete information and in "new" areas for the business, collaborating closely with functional experts and senior leaders to build knowledge and execute new partnerships and ventures.

Candidates must have experience in deals, including the origination and execution of transactions and investments supporting identified strategies or strategy management development/application. Such experience will have been gained through external consulting/advisory roles in Strategy, Corporate Finance/M&A, or Private Equity, and/or in-house industry roles in Strategy/Corporate Development, ideally in an international industrial setting.

This is a hybrid working role based in our Coventry office. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of sustainable energy solutions in a fast-paced, innovative environment.

Your responsibilities include:

• Support commercial innovation initiatives across the spectrum of corporate development activity
• Help deliver our strategy, supporting the identification, assessment, and execution of potential financing, partnerships, transactions, and investments (e.g., M&A, JVs) and new commercial ventures
• Conduct independent research to produce balanced and robust strategic insights on topics such as strategy, commercial, legislative, operational, and technical issues
• Identify where value lies in development opportunities and partnerships, and understand transaction structuring
• Develop and deliver presentations to senior stakeholders with clear data-driven analysis and recommendations
• Maintain high-quality relationships with internal subject matter experts across various functions
• Create commercial business cases and innovative models to optimize benefits and minimize risks
• Support financial modelling exercises for commercial analyses
• Manage effective commercial due diligence on potential targets and partners, and drive post-deal integration plans
• Assist in deal structuring and negotiating commercial terms and contracts
• Engage with stakeholders and external partners professionally and confidently

Qualifications & Experience:

• A professional or advanced qualification in finance (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) or business administration (MBA) is beneficial but not essential
• Experience in strategic, commercial, and financial analysis and modelling
• Ability to translate external changes into strategic recommendations
• Creative thinking to drive commercial outcomes
• Strong networking and stakeholder management skills
• High commercial acumen and influencing skills, including supporting negotiations
• Understanding of partnership and transaction documents
• Ability to manage complex projects with multiple stakeholders
• Highly organized, capable of balancing multiple priorities
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, agile environment
• Proficiency in PowerPoint and Excel modelling
• Resilience and creativity suited to a start-up culture

What you’ll get…

Our benefits package includes private healthcare, car allowance, company bonus, enhanced parental leave, and a cash benefit. We promote work-life balance and total wellbeing support through partnerships like Yulife.

You will be part of a rapidly scaling environment, helping to build the UK’s largest battery manufacturing facility as a subsidiary of Tata Sons.

Agratas values authenticity and diversity, welcoming applicants from all backgrounds to join our supportive and inclusive workplace.
