THE ROLE

As Corporate Development Senior Associate, you would identify, evaluate and execute M&A and strategic investment activity that shapes Offchain Labs' position in the blockchain ecosystem.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Support M&A and strategic investment activity end to end: screen and evaluate targets, lead market and operating diligence across engineering, product, legal and finance, build valuation models, write investment memos, and support leadership on deal structuring and negotiation.

Own post-merger integration planning and execution, defining the integration thesis prior to signing and driving the workstreams required to realise deal objectives.

Support fundraising preparedness by maintaining diligence-ready materials, data rooms, financial models and KPI reporting, and managing process timelines during live processes.

Develop strategic business cases for new opportunities, including market and competitive analysis, deal or partnership economics, and execution roadmaps. Drive internal strategy communications and build relationships with blockchain founders and industry leaders while maintaining an organic pipeline of opportunities.

WHAT YOU NEED

4 to 6 years in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, management consulting, or a corporate development or strategic finance function. Direct involvement in at least one M&A or fundraise process from start to close, with real ownership of workstreams. Genuine fluency in crypto, with crypto-native work experience strongly preferred. Strong financial modelling and market sizing skills, including in segments where public data is limited. Exceptional written and visual communication, able to build an executive-ready deck without hand-holding. Bachelor's degree.

Remote-first global workforce plus a New York office. Professional reimbursement programme covering conference attendance and certifications. Medical, dental and vision coverage for the US and some other countries. 401(k) retirement plan with company match, US only. Wellness stipend and a home office set-up allowance.

LOCATION

Remote-first and described as a global workforce. This role cannot be performed in California or Colorado.
