About this role
Zeta Global's Corporate Development team sits at the center of the company's M&A and growth strategy, and this manager role offers direct involvement in identifying, evaluating, and executing transactions that shape the business. You would partner closely with senior leaders across business units to develop financial models, build investment cases, and shepherd deals from concept through post-integration. The work spans deal sourcing, diligence management, stakeholder coordination with legal and operations teams, and presenting findings to executives—requiring both analytical rigor and the ability to influence across a matrixed organization.
The ideal candidate brings at least five years in corporate development, venture capital, private equity, investment banking, or Big4 M&A advisory, with proven success leading teams and managing complex transactions. You'll need strong financial modeling skills, comfort navigating ambiguity, and the ability to juggle multiple priorities under tight deadlines.
