Corporate Development Manager

I’m partnering with a large, $1B public company based in Irvine, CA. to hire a Manager of Corporate Development/M&A.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing corporate development team with an active deal pipeline, strong mentorship, and direct exposure to the CFO and broader C-suite.

The role will support the full M&A lifecycle, including:

• Developing and evaluating the acquisition pipeline

• Building valuation, DCF, merger, LBO, and accretion/dilution models

• Leading cross-functional due diligence workstreams

• Assessing strategic fit, risks, synergies, and value-creation opportunities

• Preparing transaction materials for senior leadership and the Board

• Supporting deal negotiations, integration planning, and strategic initiatives

The team expects to complete 1–2 buy-side transactions annually, with an average deal size of approximately $125M–$250M. The position will initially be an individual-contributor role, with the potential to add an analyst-level direct report as the team grows.

Ideal background:

• 3–7 years of relevant corporate development or M&A experience

• Strong valuation and financial-modeling capabilities

• Experience supporting transactions across multiple stages of the deal lifecycle

• Excellent communication skills and executive presence

• Investment banking, private equity, transaction advisory, or strategy experience is a plus

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, or a related field; MBA preferred

Compensation: $180K–$230K base salary plus a 10% annual bonus and potential eligibility for annual RSU grants.
