About The Job

The Corporate Development Senior Analyst is responsible for supporting Integra’s full M&A lifecycle, including target identification, pipeline development, underwriting, diligence, transaction execution, and post-close performance tracking. Reporting to the Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, this role will work closely with senior leadership and cross-functional partners to help execute Integra’s growth strategy through acquisitions and greenfield expansion.

Integra is a national provider of commercial HVAC testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB) services and controlled-environment certification and validation services.

What You Will Be Doing

• Maintain and prioritize Integra’s acquisition pipeline, including researching potential targets, screening opportunities against investment criteria, and maintaining accurate CRM and deal-tracker information.
• Support acquisition origination through market research, target identification, outreach preparation, and tracking conversations with prospective owners and intermediaries.
• Build and maintain financial models for potential acquisitions, including valuation, return analysis, synergy opportunities, and pro forma financial analysis.
• Prepare investment memos, target overviews, underwriting materials, diligence findings, and presentations for senior leadership and the Board.
• Coordinate financial, accounting, operational, legal, tax, and people‑related diligence workstreams; maintain diligence trackers, data rooms, and third‑party advisor request lists.
• Support LOI, purchase agreement, signing, and closing processes in partnership with internal stakeholders and external advisors.
• Work with the Chief Integration Officer and functional leaders to track acquired‑company performance against underwriting assumptions following close.
• Conduct market, geographic, and end‑market analyses to support greenfield expansion and broader growth initiatives.
• Build productive relationships with business owners, advisors, internal leadership, and functional partners across the organization.

What We Are Looking For

• 3–5 years of relevant experience in investment banking, corporate development, private equity, transaction advisory, financial due diligence, or a related transaction‑focused role.
• Direct experience supporting M&A transactions from early‑stage target identification and underwriting through diligence, LOI, closing, or post‑close analysis.
• Strong financial modeling and Excel skills, including the ability to build valuation, returns, and pro forma models.
• Working knowledge of financial statements, quality of earnings concepts, EBITDA adjustments, and transaction diligence.
• Experience managing multiple priorities and workstreams in a fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environment.
• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, business, or a related discipline.
• Ability and willingness to travel regularly for acquisition‑related meetings, diligence, and site visits.

What You Will Need for Success

• Strong analytical judgment, attention to detail, and intellectual honesty.
• Ability to distinguish facts from assumptions, identify risks early, and communicate findings clearly.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare decision‑ready materials for senior leadership.
• Comfort working directly with founder‑and family‑owned business owners in a relationship‑driven acquisition environment.
• A proactive, self‑starting approach and willingness to own both strategic analysis and the detailed process work required to advance transactions.
• Strong organization and time‑management skills, with the ability to maintain accuracy across multiple active deals.
• Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint; experience with CRM, deal‑tracking, data‑room, or project‑management tools is preferred.
• Experience with multi‑site, field‑service, commercial‑service, industrial‑service, healthcare‑service, or other people‑intensive businesses is preferred but not required.
• Progress toward a CPA or CFA is a plus, but not required.
• Ability to travel 30%-50%.
