Corporate Development Lead

Onebrief Corporate Development Lead

As the Onebrief Corporate Development Lead, you will lead across the full deal lifecycle of identifying and helping to evaluate targets, pressure-testing thesis and synergies, coordinating due diligence, and transitioning those insights to functional leaders post-acquisition. The ideal candidate blends investment banking grade financial analysis with the operator's mindset required to land real, measurable value after close.

At Onebrief, your success will come from ownership, clarity, and collaboration. We seek those who take initiative and don't wait for direction but actively identify what needs to be done and move it forward. Your demonstrated ability to clearly communicate is essential. We expect you to express ideas concisely, ask thoughtful questions, and provide context so others can build on your work and take action. Successful teammates are adaptable and open to feedback, seeing iteration based on learning as part of the process rather than a sign of failure.

In our team culture, we care deeply about outcomes and learning. People who thrive at Onebrief balance autonomy with alignment, they know when to make decisions independently and when to pull others in. They contribute to an atmosphere of trust, respect by being reliable, transparent, and generous with their knowledge. Above all, they take pride in doing great work together and in helping those around them succeed.
