Job description

Hybrid — 2 Days In-Office | High-Growth M&A Platform

Are you looking to build real momentum in your career while working on meaningful transactions that directly shape company growth?

We’re partnering with a rapidly scaling, private-equity-backed organization that is building a national platform through strategic acquisitions. This is an opportunity to join a high-impact Corporate Development team where your work isn’t theoretical — you’ll help evaluate, structure, and execute real deals alongside experienced leaders who are committed to developing the next generation of deal professionals.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys analytical problem solving, thrives in fast-moving environments, and wants exposure to the full deal lifecycle — from sourcing and evaluation through diligence and integration. You’ll gain hands-on experience, real responsibility, and the chance to grow into expanded ownership over time.

What You’ll Do

• Evaluate acquisition opportunities and support live transaction execution
• Build and maintain financial models and valuation analyses
• Conduct industry and market research that informs growth strategy
• Prepare executive-level materials for leadership and investment partners
• Partner cross-functionally to support due diligence and integration efforts
• Engage with business owners and stakeholders nationwide
• Help manage a dynamic pipeline in an active M&A environment

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years in investment banking, private equity, consulting, corporate development, or corporate finance
• Strong analytical and financial modeling skills
• Clear communicator with strong interpersonal instincts
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment
• Team-oriented mindset with curiosity and initiative
• Willingness to travel and build relationships

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Hands-on exposure to high-volume M&A execution
• Close mentorship and visibility with senior deal leaders
• Hybrid work model that balances collaboration and flexibility
• Strong runway for personal and professional growth
• Clear path toward expanded deal ownership
• Competitive compensation and performance incentives

If you’re energized by dealmaking, growth strategy, and working in an environment where your contributions are visible and valued, this is a rare opportunity to accelerate your career alongside an ambitious team.

*Candidates must be eligible to work in the US as well as meet the qualifications listed above in order to be considered for the Corporate Development Analyst job.
