BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TEAM

Our Business Development team helps drive the company’s growth by identifying, evaluating, and advancing high-potential opportunities across the market. We work at the intersection of strategy, finance, and business development — turning opportunities into real business impact and helping strengthen our portfolio over the long term.

This role is a great opportunity for someone who wants to be close to decision-making, work directly with senior leadership, and take real ownership of high-impact opportunities. You’ll play a key role in building and moving the pipeline forward, while working closely with finance, legal, and C-level stakeholders along the way.

YOU

You are commercially sharp, analytical, and confident in taking ownership of complex processes. You enjoy assessing businesses, building cases, and moving opportunities forward from first conversation to decision point.

You are comfortable working independently, thinking critically with incomplete information, and communicating credibly with founders, management teams, and internal stakeholders. You combine strong financial judgment with a practical, business-oriented mindset, and you know how to keep momentum in high-stakes situations.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own the M&A pipeline from first contact with a target through to signed term sheet
• Identify, research, and prioritize acquisition targets that fit our portfolio and growth strategy
• Lead outreach and first conversations with potential sellers, founders, and management teams
• Assess strategic fit, business quality, and acquisition potential across a range of opportunities
• Build financial models and run valuation analyses, including DCF, comparables, and return scenarios
• Prepare diligence materials, coordinate data rooms, and support due diligence processes across stakeholders
• Write clear investment memos and decision-making materials for leadership
• Build business cases for high-impact opportunities, often working with incomplete or imperfect information
• Work closely with C-level stakeholders, finance, and legal teams to keep processes moving efficiently and support decision-making

WHAT WE EXPECT

• 2+ years of experience in M&A advisory, transaction services, corporate development, finance, or a similar field
• Ability to independently own processes and move work forward without requiring close day-to-day guidance
• Strong financial modelling skills, including the ability to build DCF and payback models from scratch
• Good understanding of core deal mechanics such as enterprise value vs equity value, cash-free/debt-free structures, working capital adjustments, and earnouts
• Strong analytical skills and ability to assess both business quality and strategic fit
• Confidence communicating with senior stakeholders, founders, and management teams in a professional and credible way
• Ability to structure information clearly and turn analysis into concise recommendations
• Comfort working on high-stakes topics with speed, ownership, and incomplete information
• Background in digital media, affiliate marketing, or performance marketing would be a plus

WHAT YOU GET

• Health & Well-being – Private health insurance with mental health coverage (including psychotherapy sessions), in-house physiotherapy, and access to premium wellness apps and fitness resources.
• Time to Recharge – Paid sick days and extra vacation days that grow the longer you’re with us.
• Continuous Growth – Deep focus on individual progress, supported by the 70/20/10 development model and a wide range of L&D initiatives designed to boost performance throughout the year. You’ll have access to courses, conferences, books, subscriptions, and regular knowledge-sharing sessions to support ongoing learning.
• Recognition & Support – Work anniversaries, celebrations for personal milestones such as birthdays, weddings, welcoming new family members, and more.
• Community & Connection – Quarterly events to share knowledge, strengthen alignment, and foster collaboration across teams - plus company workations, wellness challenges, marathons, and other initiatives that bring people together in meaningful ways.
• Workspace & Comfort – Work in a space built for focus, balance, and everything in between. At the CyberCity campus, you’re surrounded by a community of professionals and a modern infrastructure — from gyms and top coffee spots to popular restaurants just around the corner.

  Step out for a walk, reset in game areas, grab a snack, or bring your pet along on Pet Thursday. Everything here is designed to help you feel good and do your best work.

• Balanced Flexibility – A hybrid working model that supports both focused individual work and strong in-person collaboration. We offer flexibility to work remotely, combined with regular time in the office to connect, create, and align as a team.

  We care deeply about our team. That’s why we focus on real benefits that support your growth, well-being, and life beyond work.

  The future of media is now - be part of it.
