Corporate Development Manager

We're partnering with a global business services provider backed by one of the world's leading private markets investors, on a key Corporate Development Manager hire in Singapore.

This is a rare opportunity to join a lean, high-calibre deal team and play a meaningful role in shaping the company's growth strategy — with exposure to transactions across APAC, the US and LATAM.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the full M&A lifecycle, from target identification and preliminary assessment through valuation, due diligence, negotiation and closing
• Build and maintain financial and M&A models, including forecasting, scenario and sensitivity analysis
• Conduct financial analysis, valuation and comparable transaction analysis
• Coordinate and manage financial and commercial due diligence workstreams, working with multiple internal and external stakeholders
• Evaluate transaction feasibility, revenue and cost synergies
• Prepare investment papers and materials for senior management and investment committee review
• Work closely with Commercial, Finance, Legal, Tax, HR, IT and external advisers throughout the transaction process
• Support integration and separation planning where required

Desired Requirements

• 5–7 years of relevant experience in Corporate Development, M&A, Corporate Finance, Transaction Services / FDD or Investment Banking
• Hands-on experience across M&A transactions, financial due diligence, valuation and financial modelling
• Proven ability to manage transaction processes, projects and multiple stakeholders
• Strong business acumen, commercial judgement and analytical rigour
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Cross-border / multi-jurisdictional transaction experience is preferred
• Experience in professional services, fund services or business services is advantageous
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics or a related discipline; CPA, ACCA, CFA or equivalent qualification is a plus

Why Join

• End-to-end M&A exposure — be involved from sourcing through closing, rather than operating within a single transaction workstream
• Join a highly experienced deal team with significant autonomy and responsibility
• Gain exposure to international transactions across APAC, US and LATAM
• Work within a PE-backed environment
• Take on a role with real visibility and impact on the organisation's growth strategy
• Opportunity to broaden your experience across different transactions, markets and business sectors
