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.

Integration & Value Creation Lead integration planning prior to transaction close and ensure seamless post‑close execution. Develop and oversee 100‑day plans, synergy capture initiatives, organizational integration efforts, and performance tracking. Partner with functional leaders across commercial, operations, finance, regulatory, quality, supply chain, and R&D to ensure successful integration outcomes. Translate investment assumptions into actionable operating plans and measurable value creation initiatives. Monitor acquisition performance against investment objectives and drive corrective actions where necessary.
