Manager, Corporate Development

Role Description

The Manager, Corporate Development supports the evaluation and execution of Rubix’s land acquisitions, whether structured as a direct real estate transaction or as the acquisition of an entity that holds the land. The role builds the financial analysis behind each opportunity and prepares the business case on which leadership and investors base their capital decisions.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role, with a path to building and leading a small analyst team as deal volume grows.

What You’ll Do

• Financial modelling (primary focus)
  • Build and own the deal model for every land opportunity.
  • Model acquisition economics end to end: acquisition price, financing, holding costs, development phasing, and the path to a built, revenue-generating asset.
  • Model power and interconnection economics alongside the land.
  • Calculate and explain returns: IRR, NPV, and the capital each deal ties up.
  • Run sensitivity and scenario analysis on key assumptions.
  • Build downside and stress cases for leadership review.
  • Maintain a consistent modelling approach across deals.
• Business case preparation (primary focus)
  • Turn each model into a clear go / no-go business case with a stated recommendation.
  • Write investment papers and build decision materials for leadership and investors.
  • Translate technical and legal inputs into financial assumptions.
  • Lead with the answer: what we should do, what it costs, what could go wrong, and why the return justifies the risk.
• Deal diligence and execution support
  • Run the financial workstream of due diligence on target land and entities.
  • Assess entitlement and permitting risk.
  • Track diligence findings and integrate them into the model and business case.
  • Support negotiation with financial data.
• Cross-functional partnership
  • Work closely with Land Acquisition & Energy, Engineering & Design, Legal & Tax, and Finance & Strategy.

Qualifications

• 6 to 8 years in corporate development, investment banking, private equity, transaction services, or infrastructure/project finance.
• Strong financial modelling skills.
• Hands-on experience supporting M&A or real estate transactions.
• Clear written communication skills.

Requirements

• Exposure to data centers, energy/power, real assets, or other capital-heavy sectors (useful, not required).
• Understanding of project finance and risk sharing across development, construction, and operations (useful, not required).
• Experience working across jurisdictions (useful, not required).
• Comfortable in a fast-moving, early-stage environment.

Benefits

• A central role in shaping Rubix’s global investment strategy and capital deployment.
• Direct exposure to high-value infrastructure projects at the forefront of AI growth.
• Opportunity to work across the full lifecycle of assets—from origination through operations.
