Position Overview

The Director of Corporate Development reports to the CFO and owns the company's inorganic growth agenda: the acquisition pipeline from origination through evaluation and post-close integration coordination, and the routes that reach the same ends without a purchase, including strategic alliances, joint ventures, and major commercial partnerships. The role also partners with the CFO on long-term strategy and on debt and equity financing. The role's center of gravity remains sourcing and screening: building a disciplined flow of qualified targets and ensuring that every opportunity reaching the leadership team arrives with its financial consequences fully understood.

Diligence in this role extends beyond the financial statements: evaluating the leadership, culture, and post-close alignment of a target's principals is a core responsibility, not an afterthought. The role is also the organization's guardrail against deal momentum: every opportunity is scored against a consistent methodology, and recommendations follow the scores, not the level of internal enthusiasm. The role also owns transaction-related financial planning, including acquisition and integration budgets, working alongside the corporate FP&A process rather than running it. This is a hands-on position: you will build the pipeline, frameworks, and models yourself.

Targets are typically tuck-in software and hosting-adjacent businesses in the USD $1 million to $5 million enterprise v
