Vice President, Corporate Development

This role is with a private equity-backed medical technology company with a leading position in a specialized segment of the healthcare market. The organization develops and commercializes innovative medical device solutions used in critical care and procedural settings worldwide. With a differentiated product portfolio, strong market position, and growing global footprint, the company is entering an exciting phase of expansion focused on accelerating growth through strategic acquisitions and portfolio development. The Opportunity Reporting directly to the CEO, the Vice President of Corporate Development will lead the company's acquisition strategy and execution efforts while serving as a key advisor to the executive leadership team, Board of Directors, and private equity sponsor. This is a highly visible role responsible for identifying, evaluating, executing, and integrating acquisitions that accelerate growth and expand the company's portfolio and market position. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable developing acquisition theses, leading diligence, negotiating transactions, and driving post-acquisition integration and value creation. The company has an active acquisition agenda, including international opportunities and future European expansion initiatives. Acquisition targets may range from single-product businesses to corporate carve-outs and established medical technology platforms with enterprise values ranging from approximately $5 million to $200 million. Importantly, this is not a pure deal‑making role. Success will be measured not only by transactions completed, but by the successful integration and value creation achieved following each acquisition. Corporate Development & M&A Partner with the CEO and executive leadership team to define and execute the company’s acquisition strategy. Build, maintain, and actively manage a strong pipeline of acquisition targets across the medical technology sector and adjacent healthcare markets. Develop and sustain relationships with founders, executive teams, investment bankers, private equity firms, and key industry advisors. Lead end‑to‑end target evaluation, including strategic fit assessment, financial modeling, valuation, and investment recommendations. Prepare high‑quality Board materials, investment cases, and acquisition proposals. Oversee all phases of transaction execution, including due diligence, deal structuring, negotiation, and closing. Evaluate opportunities ranging from tuck‑in and product‑level acquisitions to larger platform deals and carve‑outs. Collaborate with executive leadership and private equity stakeholders to prioritize opportunities based on strategic alignment, return potential, and integration complexity. Integration & Value Creation Lead integration planning efforts prior to deal close and ensure disciplined execution post‑close. Design and implement 100‑day integration plans, synergy capture initiatives, organizational alignment strategies, and performance tracking frameworks. Partner closely with leaders across commercial, operations, finance, regulatory, quality, supply chain, and R&D to ensure successful integration outcomes. Translate investment hypotheses into actionable operating plans and measurable value creation initiatives. Track acquisition performance against original investment expectations and drive corrective actions where needed. Act as the central integration leader (“deal quarterback”) to ensure accountability, alignment, and full realization of expected deal value. Candidate Profile The ideal candidate is a hands‑on, execution‑focused corporate development leader with deep experience managing acquisitions from origination through integration, ideally within the medical device or broader medtech industry. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or other advanced degree preferred. 10+ years of experience in corporate development, investment banking, private equity, strategy consulting, or a combination thereof. Proven track record of leading full lifecycle acquisition processes. Prior experience in the medical device or broader medtech sector strongly preferred. Demonstrated success in both transaction execution and post‑merger integration. Experience in private equity‑backed environments is highly desirable. Strong capabilities in financial modeling, valuation, due diligence, and strategic analysis. Experience evaluating a range of deal types, including tuck‑ins, platform investments, and carve‑outs. Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑accountability, entrepreneurial environment. Excellent communication skills with strong executive presence and stakeholder influence. Personal Characteristics Action‑oriented, hands‑on operator with a strong bias for execution. Comfortable moving fluidly between deal sourcing, execution, and integration leadership. Strong relationship builder, able to establish credibility both internally and externally. Thrives in lean, high‑growth, and entrepreneurial environments. Highly accountable with a strong focus on outcomes and value creation. Strategic thinker who remains detail‑oriented and execution‑focused. Why This Opportunity? This is a unique opportunity to work directly with the CEO and private equity sponsor to help shape and scale a growing medical technology platform. The role offers significant influence over corporate strategy, direct ownership of acquisitions, leadership of post‑deal integration, and a central role in driving long‑term enterprise value creation. #J-18808-Ljbffr
