Mergers and Acquisitions Associate

Job Description

We are working exclusively with an established technology organization to identify an M&A Associate for their corporate development function. Growth through acquisition is a central part of the company's strategy, and this role was created to strengthen the team responsible for finding, evaluating, and executing new opportunities.

This is not a pitch book role. The person stepping into this position will sit close to the decision-makers and be trusted with real responsibility on live transactions. You will be expected to form a view on a business quickly, back it up with analysis, and communicate it clearly to leadership.

• Track pipeline activity and keep opportunity status and data current
• Screen incoming opportunities and prepare early assessments of fit and value
• Build financial models covering valuation, returns, and key operating metrics
• Analyze customer, revenue, and cost data to understand the quality and durability of a business
• Coordinate diligence workstreams and keep deal timelines on track
• Prepare clear written recommendations for leadership
• Help manage the handoff to operating teams after a deal closes
• Contribute to internal reporting on performance of completed acquisitions
• Take on ad hoc analysis and special projects as priorities shift

What We're Looking For

• Solid transaction or deal-related experience at the Associate or Senior Associate level
• Background in banking, advisory, investing, or an in-house strategy or deal team
• CPA, CFA, or a relevant post-secondary degree
• Strong modelling skills and sound business judgement
• Clear, concise writing and the confidence to present a point of view to senior leaders
• Comfort working with recurring revenue business models is an asset
• Self-directed, organized, and able to manage several priorities at once
• Interest in building a long-term career in corporate development

What's Offered

• Competitive total compensation with performance incentives
• Full benefits
• Close working relationship with senior leadership
• Broad exposure to transactions of varying size and structure
