Associate Director, Corporate Strategy & Development (all genders)

What you’ll bring

• Experience: 6+ years of high-performance experience from a top-tier Management Consulting firm, Investment Banking, or a comparable in-house Strategy / Corporate Development team. This includes leading projects or deal teams with minimal supervision.
• Process and deal leadership: You have led complex, multi-stakeholder processes to a deadline, coordinating internal functions and external advisors and managing senior counterparties such as target or client management teams. This can come from running M&A transactions (in-house corporate development or advisory) or from leading strategy projects with transaction exposure, such as due diligence, carve-outs, partnerships or market entries. Direct M&A process experience is a strong plus; the ability to learn it quickly is essential.
• Leadership and Influence: You have guided and developed more junior colleagues and influenced senior stakeholders, including through negotiation and building rapport with counterparties.
• Toolkit: Exceptional qualitative and analytical problem-solving skills. You are hypothesis-driven and can own and structure complex analytical problems from end-to-end. You structure ambiguous problems and set direction for others, not just solve them yourself. You are utilizing AI tools to meaningfully improve your productivity. Ability to build applications with AI coding tools is a plus.
• Financial Acumen: Expert-level financial modeling skills are required: you have built and defended complex models used for high-stakes investment or strategic decisions. Valuation experience is a plus. You are just as comfortable building analysis and models from scratch as you are managing processes and presenting recommendations to leadership.
• DTC economics: You are comfortable working with typical DTC KPIs like CAC, AOR, AOV, CLV, retention and understand how cohort economics build a P&L over time. DTC marketing analytics experience is a plus but not required.
• Communication: Proactive 360° communication and excellent ability to synthesize complex analysis into clear, concise storylines, presentations and memos for an executive audience.
• How you work: You take ownership of outcomes and pressure-test your own conclusions before presenting them. You go deep into the analysis to get to the right answer, and know when it is good enough to decide.
