Job description

Referment is working with a global investment and technology firm seeking a Corporate Development Associate in New York City. The firm is a diversified investment enterprise, and this Corporate Development team sits at the centre of its growth agenda. The team proposes, develops and executes high-priority initiatives that expand the business — new investment strategies, new businesses, products and other commercial activities. This role offers unusually early exposure to senior decision-makers and the chance to shape the firm\'s direction rather than execute a pre-set mandate.

The Role

You\'ll Propose, Research And Execute New Business Ideas, Moving From Open-ended Strategic Questions To Concrete Plans And Outcomes. Day To Day, That Means

• Proposing, researching and executing new business ideas.
• Coordinating and managing critical projects across the firm.
• Working with teams across the organisation to generate and develop new products.
• Contributing to corporate strategy and regularly presenting recommendations to senior management.

What We\'re Looking For

A bachelor\'s or graduate degree, an impressive record of academic or professional achievement, and up to three years of work experience. Excellent written and verbal communication is essential — you\'ll need to distill complexity into clear, actionable recommendations for senior audiences.

Notably, prior finance knowledge or experience is not required. Past associates in this team have come from fields including law, engineering, basic science research, philosophy, computer science and government.

Compensation

The expected annual base salary for this position is $135,000 to $160,000.

The compensation and benefits package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, guaranteed in the first year of hire.

• Medical and prescription drug coverage
• 401(k) contribution matching
• Wellness reimbursement
• Family building benefits
• Charitable gift match program

This could suit a high-performing early-career professional from consulting, law, engineering, research or government who wants to move into a commercial strategy role with genuine ownership of new business initiatives at a leading investment firm.
