About this role
**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.
