What the work is

About the work We're building a high-quality library of in-house corporate development work products. You'll complete self-contained M&A exercises from mock files (CIMs, diligence reports, term sheets, board decks) and produce the deliverable for each, graded against a rubric.

What you'll do

  • Build valuation and merger models: three-statement, DCF, trading and transaction comps, accretion-dilution, cap table and equity waterfall.

  • Draft and compare transaction terms: IOIs, LOIs, term sheets, bid comparisons, deal structure and consideration economics.

  • Produce process and board materials: management presentations, data packs, buyer universes, board and committee decks, closing mechanics and funds flow.

  • Run screening, diligence and integration work: inbound deal screens, diligence request lists, findings synthesis, synergy models, carve-out analysis, 100-day plans.

You're a fit if you have

  • 4+ years in an in-house corporate development or M&A role at an operating company.

  • Hands-on ownership of live transactions end to end, not support work.

Nice to have

  • Investment banking or private equity background before moving in-house; Big 4 transaction advisory or financial due diligence.

Assessment A merger model from a mock target file; a term sheet comparison; a board-ready recommendation memo.

Note: we're looking for in-house operators, not sell-side or advisory practitioners.
