Red Ventures is looking for a deal-oriented, execution-focused Corporate Development Associate to join our multi-faceted Corporate Development team. This is a high-volume, high-accountability role built for someone who thrives on owning the work. You will be the engine behind our M&A, investments, capital structuring, and inorganic growth decisions: vetting targets, keeping workstreams on track, guiding cross-functional teams through end-to-end processes, building financial models, and making sure leadership has what they need to make fast and informed decisions.
You will work across transactions ranging from $10M-$2B across technology, financial services, media, telecom, education and travel. Expect significant variety, a fast pace, and real accountability from day one.
What You’ll Do:
- Build and own first-draft financial models, including income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow models as well as standard valuation analyses, with scenario modeling to stress-test assumptions and surface key value drivers
- Maintain and manage the M&A and partnership deal pipeline, keeping records current and flagging high-priority opportunities
- Conduct initial screening of inbound and proactively sourced targets, assessing strategic fit, deal size, and financial profile against active investment theses
- Manage workstreams end-to-end, coordinating cross-functional teams including Finance, Legal, HR, Tax, and Operations
- Prepare screening memos summarizing key facts, strategic rationale, and recommended next steps for senior review
- Build and maintain presentation materials for leadership and board-level deal reviews, investment committee meetings, and strategic planning discussions
- Translate complex financial and strategic analysis into clean, executive-ready decks with clear recommendations
- Conduct industry research and competitive landscape analysis to identify emerging opportunities across priority verticals
- Maintain diligence trackers, manage the data room, and ensure workstream leads are hitting deadlines
- Support post-close integration planning and assist with partnership and portfolio reviews, flagging performance trends for leadership attention
What We’re Looking For:
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Economics, Accounting or a related field
- 1-2 years' experience in investment banking, management consulting, private equity, or corporate development
- Strong financial modeling skills; you can build a model from scratch and defend every assumption
- Exceptional attention to detail; you catch the error before it goes to the CFO
- Proven ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously under tight deadlines
- Intellectually curious; you're a fast and eager learner with the demonstrated ability of being a thought partner for strategic decisions
- Clear, concise written and verbal communication skills
- High proficiency in Excel and Power Point, CapIQ, and AI-based software and tools (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.)
Compensation:
Total Cash Compensation Range: $90,000 - $130,000 per year
Actual compensation varies based on location, experience, and qualifications.
Additionally, the following benefits are provided by Red Ventures, subject to eligibility requirements.
- Health Insurance Coverage (medical, dental, and vision)
- Life Insurance
- Short and Long-Term Disability Insurance
- Flexible Spending Accounts
- Holiday Pay
- 401(k) with match
- Employee Assistance Program
- Paid Parental Bonding Benefit Program
- Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO): We believe time to rest and recharge is essential. That’s why we offer a generous and flexible PTO policy. Full-time employees accrue 20 days of PTO for a full calendar year annually, with an increase to 25 days after five years of service.
