The Senior Director, Corporate Development is a senior leadership role reporting to the Chief Strategy Officer. This individual will lead initiatives that connect corporate development activities, including partnerships, acquisitions, and new market entry, with a cohesive, market-facing narrative that drives client acquisition, and revenue growth. This is a highly visible role for a strategic thinker who understands that the best deals are won through compelling positioning as much as financial acumen.

• Develop and execute integrated corporate development strategies that align with organizational growth objectives, ensuring new partnerships and acquisitions amplify market presence.
• Develop a strategic M&A agenda and actively pursue, evaluate and execute on targets.
• Lead go-to-market strategy for new business ventures, partnerships, and expanded service lines, translating deal activity into compelling external narratives.
• Identify, evaluate, and negotiate strategic partnerships, alliances, and market expansion opportunities.
• Conduct market research, competitive analysis, and customer segmentation to inform both corporate development priorities and marketing positioning.
• Strong understanding of technology on both our products and the broader tech landscape.
• Present corporate development and marketing strategy recommendations to C‑suite and Board stakeholders, translating complex data into clear, compelling business cases.
• Build and lead a cross‑functional team by working very closely with the business to evaluate potential targets (strategic fit, synergies, financials) and drive decision‑making.
• Track KPIs across both business development and marketing channels to measure ROI and continuously optimize strategy.

• Bachelor's degree required; MBA or advanced degree in Marketing, Business, or Strategy strongly preferred.
• 8-10 years of progressive experience spanning corporate development, investment banking, or management consulting.
• Experience with post‑merger integration would be a real plus.
• Demonstrated success leading both business development initiatives and market‑facing marketing strategies.
• Strong financial acumen with the ability to build business cases, evaluate partnerships, and assess market opportunities.
• Exceptional storytelling and communication skills, able to craft compelling narratives for both external audiences and executive stakeholders.
• Proven ability to lead cross‑functional teams and influence without direct authority in a matrixed organization.
