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.
