Corporate Development Manager

Ebury London Office - Hybrid: 4 days in the office, 1 day working from home per week

The Opportunity:

Ebury is growing on two fronts at once: organically, into new markets and customer segments, and inorganically, through acquisitions that add capability, licences and clients faster than we could build them ourselves. Corporate Development sits at the centre of both.

We're looking for an experienced management consultant to join the team in London. The role has two facets, and you will live through both.

In the first, you'll run internal strategic projects - end-to-end reviews of the processes that determine how well Ebury actually runs. Client onboarding is the first of these: a journey that touches Sales, Compliance, Operations, Product and Technology across multiple jurisdictions, and where the difference between good and excellent is worth a great deal in conversion, cost-to-serve and client experience. You will diagnose it properly, size the prize, design the target state, and then stay with it until something has genuinely changed.

In the second, you'll move onto integration work behind our acquisitions - turning a deal thesis into an operating reality across systems, people, clients and regulatory permissions.

This is a role for someone who wants to stop handing over the recommendation and start owning the outcome.

You'll work closely with:

• The Corporate Development team, with exposure to the CEO and Executive Committee
• Functional leaders across Operations, Compliance, Finance, Sales, Product and Technology, Data and Legal
• Counterparties, advisers and target management teams

What you'll do:

Strategic Projects and Internal Transformation

• Own end-to-end reviews of Ebury's core operating processes, beginning with client onboarding
• Map the current state honestly - cycle times, drop-off points, rework, manual intervention, cost-to-serve - and quantify where value is lost
• Look at the process across different customer segments and in different jurisdictions
• Design the target state, sequence it into something deliverable, and build the business case behind it
• Work through functional owners to land the change, then measure whether it actually landed

Corporate Strategy and M&A Support

• Market mapping, target screening, and competitive and landscape analysis
• Commercial and operational due diligence support: business model, unit economics, client base quality, operational scalability
• Valuation and synergy modelling, and the business
