Hearst Health is seeking a hybrid-based Director, Corporate Development to serve as a senior deal lead and strategic partner to the Head of Strategy & Corporate Development. As the second and most senior professional joining the function, you will have significant ownership across corporate development—from identifying and evaluating opportunities to quarterbacking active transactions and helping shape portfolio-level strategy.

This is a long-term investment mandate. Hearst Health owns its businesses permanently and evaluates opportunities through the lens of 10+ years of compounding value rather than a traditional five-year investment horizon. Success means identifying a focused set of high-impact opportunities, staying connected to the right deal flow, prioritizing rigorously, and developing a clear point of view on which opportunities merit investment for both strategic and financial reasons.

The role operates in two complementary modes: leading active deal evaluations and building deep sector knowledge between transactions. Over time, the Director will also have the opportunity to build the case for and lead a junior corporate development hire as the function grows.

About the Team  The mission of Hearst Health is to guide healthcare organizations by delivering essential intelligence and software that improve the quality, safety and efficiency of care. Hearst Health has been innovating with care for more than 40 years, with a commitment to making a lasting positive impact on health. The Hearst Health companies — FDB, Homecare Homebase, MCG, MHK, QGenda and Zynx Health — elevate care by informing and empowering participants across the health journey.

Strong business and investment judgment, including the ability to form, articulate, and defend an independent perspective rather than simply present analysis.

Excellent project leadership skills and the ability to manage multiple stakeholders, advisors, work streams, and deadlines through complex deal processes.

Executive presence and communication skills, with the ability to build credibility with senior bankers, management teams, operating executives, and corporate leadership.

Strong financial modeling skills and fluency in Excel and PowerPoint.

Intellectual curiosity and the ability to develop meaningful expertise in unfamiliar sectors quickly.

A self-directed, collaborative approach and comfort operating in an environment where depth, selectivity, and quality of judgment matter more than transaction volume.

Preferred Qualifications Experience developed through a leading management consultancy, private equity firm, corporate development team, or comparable strategy and investment environment.

Exposure to healthcare, healthcare IT, information services, or software businesses.

Experience evaluating opportunities through both strategic and financial lenses and connecting individual investments to broader portfolio strategy.

Compensation & Benefits Salary for this role is expected to be between $200,000 and $250,000. We are proud to offer generous health and wellness benefits, competitive paid time off, financial programs like 401(k) matching and tuition assistance, and additional perks like company matching for charitable donations.
