Working closely with the Head of M&A and senior leaders, you will partner cross-functionally across Finance, HR, Operations, Product, and Legal to ensure acquisitions are strategically sound, seamlessly integrated, and deliver on their intended value. It combines rigorous financial and strategic analysis with strong stakeholder management to drive outcomes that directly influence the company’s long-term direction.

Responsibilities:

• Fuel our M&A strategy by researching and qualifying strategic targets, managing initial outreach, and performing the initial filtering and analysis to build a high-quality pipeline.
• Take a central role in executing transactions from start to finish, under the supervision of our head of M&A.
• Manage the due diligence process, coordinate external advisors, and actively participate in negotiating legal documentation (SPA, APA).
• Oversee complex financial modeling and valuation to support investment decisions at the executive level.
• Define the integration roadmap and coordinate cross-functional teams (HR, Finance, Ops, Product, …) to ensure a seamless transition within Deel.
• Drive the execution of the integration plan under the mentorship of a Director, ensuring synergy objectives are met and KPIs are tracked.
• Lead high-impact projects on top business priorities from initial scoping and data gathering to full implementation, ensuring all work streams are executed on time and aligned with business priorities.
• Build strong internal relationships to influence decision-making and ensure the seamless execution across all involved departments.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or a related field; MBA or advanced degree preferred.
• 8–10 years of professional experience, with a minimum of 5 years in Investment Banking, M&A, or Corporate Development within a fast-paced scale-up.
• Proven track record of leading M&A transactions, including end-to-end due diligence management and active involvement in negotiating legal documentation.
• Advanced financial modeling and valuation skills; you are comfortable deep-diving into P&Ls and complex business cases.
• Demonstrated ability to lead high-impact strategic projects and drive cross-functional implementation in a fast-moving environment.
• Strong executive presence with the ability to build internal relationships and influence decision-making at the C-suite level.
• Previous experience in Post-Merger Integration is a plus, but not required.
