As a dynamic and results-oriented Corporate Development Head, you will be joining one of our portfolio companies as they prepare for an IPO in 2025. Your expertise in investment banking or cross-border M&A within the Indian ecosystem will play a crucial role in driving our global expansion strategy through mergers, acquisitions, and strategic investments. Your key responsibilities will include identifying and evaluating global M&A opportunities aligned with the company's strategic goals. You will lead the end-to-end deal process, from deal structuring and due diligence to negotiations and post-merger integration. Additionally, you will conduct in-depth financial modeling, valuation analysis, and market assessments for potential targets, and provide actionable insights to support the company's expansion initiatives. In managing cross-border deal execution, you will ensure compliance with local regulations and cultural considerations while building and maintaining relationships with international investment banks, advisors, and legal teams to facilitate seamless transactions. Collaboration with founders, executive leadership, and cross-functional teams will be essential to align corporate development strategies with organizational objectives and prepare materials for investors, boards, and other stakeholders. Your support in pre-IPO activities by aligning corporate development strategies with capital markets expectations and contributing to building the company's investor relations narrative will be valuable. Your qualifications should include 8-10 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, or corporate development with a focus on cross-border M&A in the Indian ecosystem, along with a Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business Administration, Economics, or a related field (MBA or CFA preferred). Your skills should encompass a deep understanding of financial modeling, valuation techniques, and due diligence processes, strong negotiation and deal-making abilities, excellent analytical, communication, and presentation skills, as well as a proven track record of executing complex transactions across jurisdictions. Exposure to IPO readiness activities, knowledge of global regulatory environments, cultural nuances in M&A, and experience in industries like enterprise SaaS, Cross border business, and IT services will be advantageous. In return, we offer you a pivotal role in shaping the company's growth and IPO journey, exposure to high-impact global transactions, an opportunity to work directly with the founder as a part of the founder's office, competitive compensation and benefits, and a collaborative, entrepreneurial work environment. If you are a strategic thinker with a passion for deal-making and a proven ability to execute cross-border transactions, and you want to be a part of a fast-growing business, we would love to hear from you.,
