  • Conduct market research, synthesize findings, and work with senior team members to develop strategies and identify acquisition opportunities that help shape company and product strategy
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
  • 4+ years of relevant experience in corporate development, investment banking or related fields
  • Ability to manage complex processes from start to finish and a desire to work cross-functionally 
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills alongside strong financial modeling skills
