    • Support negotiation strategy and lead key elements of documentation and closing.
    • Build relationships with potential partners, targets, investors, and market participants.
    • Define early integration or partnership operating plans so transaction logic carries into execution.
    • Coach junior team members and improve the quality of transaction analysis and process management.

    Qualifications:

    • A typical candidate will have 4 to 7 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, corporate development, transaction advisory, or strategic finance. We will consider candidates whose deal experience demonstrates comparable ownership.
    • Advanced financial modeling, valuation, and transaction analysis skills.
    • Experience leading material diligence or execution workstreams with senior stakeholders.
    • Strong investment judgment and the ability to form a clear recommendation from imperfect information.
    • Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills.
    • Discretion, attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing deadlines.
    • Experience in critical materials, mining, industrial technology, advanced manufacturing, or climate related industries is helpful.

      This base salary range reflects our best estimate for this role. The final package may vary based on experience and qualifications and includes eligibility for a discretionary bonus and equity.
      Base Salary Range: $140,000 to $180,000
