• Evaluate acquisition opportunities and support pipeline development.
• Partner closely with senior leadership and progressively take ownership of diligence calls, negotiations, and deal execution.

Ideal Background:

• Alternatively, experience in corporate development at a high-growth, acquisitive platform.
• Strong financial modeling, analytical, and transaction execution skills.
• Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple transactions simultaneously.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate independently in a fast-paced environment.

Why Consider This Opportunity?
