Opportunity Overview

- A high-growth, multi-entity business is accelerating its inorganic growth strategy to expand across manufacturing, supply chain, and adjacent capabilities.

- With strong scale, category depth, and a clear ambition to build a market-leading platform, the company is actively pursuing acquisitions, partnerships, and strategic investments.

- This role will anchor end-to-end Corporate Development, working directly with leadership to drive growth through M&A.

Role Summary

- This is a CEO-facing deal leadership role.

- You will own the full lifecycle of Corporate Development - from deal sourcing to execution and integration - and act as a strategic partner in shaping long-term growth.

- This is not a pure advisory role.

- This is an execution-heavy mandate with direct ownership of outcomes.

- Immediate Priorities (First 3-6 Months)

- Build and activate a strong pipeline of acquisition targets (manufacturing-led businesses)

- Lead live deal execution: evaluation, diligence, negotiations

- Drive strategic insights on market opportunities and white spaces

- Engage with bankers, founders, and advisors to accelerate deal flow

Key Responsibilities :

- Own end-to-end M&A lifecycle: sourcing, screening, evaluation, diligence, negotiation, and closure

- Identify and evaluate strategic adjacencies for expansion across categories and geographies

- Conduct deep-dive analysis on business models, unit economics, scalability, and risks

- Act as a key interface with investment bankers, PE/VC firms, consultants, and founders

- Advise CEO, CFO, and leadership team on acquisitions and strategic initiatives

- Support post-acquisition integration planning and execution

- Build and maintain a strong deal pipeline aligned with strategic priorities

Ideal Candidate :

- 8+ years in Corporate Development/Investment Banking/Transaction Advisory

- Strong track record of end-to-end M&A execution (not just advisory exposure)

- Experience in manufacturing or asset-heavy businesses preferred

- Strong business judgment with ability to evaluate opportunities beyond financial models

- High ownership mindset with ability to operate in ambiguity

- Strong stakeholder management and negotiation skills

What Will Not Work :

- Pure advisory profiles without deal ownership or execution experience

- Candidates without exposure to complex transactions or scale

- Low ownership, research-heavy profiles without closure experience

Why This Role :

- Direct access to CEO and leadership on high-impact decisions

- Opportunity to lead real M&A outcomes, not just advise

- Exposure to large-scale, multi-entity business with strong growth momentum

- Ability to shape long-term strategy through acquisitions and partnerships
