About The Job

As a member of the Corporate Development team, you work collaboratively across functions (including Product, Legal, Finance and People Operations) to identify, evaluate, and negotiate both acquisition and strategic investment opportunities. You understand the industry landscape and regional nuances, and provide the management team with the needed insight to drive intelligent, sound decision-making. With an air of humility, you bring strong quantitative skills, strategic thinking and sound business judgment, along with the ability to think about what is -- and what could be.

As a Corporate Development Associate, you will understand the agreement process to take the lead on organizing due diligence workstreams, creating approval materials, owning the financial model/valuation, and executing the transaction with limited direct support but high-level feedback from executive leads. You will demonstrate working knowledge of finance, corporate strategy, agreement execution, and product/technology concepts for a specific product area. You will use domain experience and pattern recognition to take and defend a point of view with executive team members or sponsors, taking into account factors within the ecosystem and within Google.

The Corporate Development team drives Google's worldwide growth by identifying exciting acquisition and strategic investment opportunities across existing and future markets – and then working to make them happen. Consisting of experienced merger-and-acquisition leaders, investment professionals, scouting and strategy specialists, and integration experts, we’re dedicated to identifying the business opportunities of tomorrow. We drive team decisions, lead negotiations, and help run post-acquisition integration and performance evaluation.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
