Visit h1.co to learn more about us.

H1's inorganic growth strategy is maturing. We have already successfully acquired and integrated two acquisitions over the past three years. Now we are looking to continue that record of success on a larger scale and across a wider range of targets. This role will own the financial related activities of the Corp Dev function including financial strategy, target screening, valuation modeling, financial due diligence, synergies analysis, pro-forma financial modeling and integrations planning.

WHAT YOU'LL DO AT H1

You will work daily with senior leaders and business partners to quarterback key stages of the M&A Corp Dev process. This is a role for both an order taker and order maker. Reporting to the SVP Finance, you will build out the M&A playbook and execute critical phases.

You will:

• Build and own first-draft financial models, including income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow models as well as standard valuation analyses, with scenario modeling to stress-test assumptions and surface key value drivers
• Maintain and manage the M&A and partnership deal pipeline, keeping records current and flagging high-priority opportunities
• Conduct initial screening of inbound and proactively sourced targets, assessing strategic fit, deal size, and financial profile against active investment theses
• Manage workstreams end-to-end, coordinating cross-functional teams including Finance, Legal, HR, Tax, and Operations
• Prepare screening memos summarizing key facts, strategic rationale, and recommended next steps for senior review
• Build and maintain presentation materials for leadership and board-level deal reviews, investment committee meetings, and strategic planning discussions
• Translate complex financial and strategic analysis into clean, executive-ready decks with clear recommendations
• Conduct industry research and competitive landscape analysis to identify emerging opportunities across priority verticals
• Maintain diligence trackers, manage the data room, and ensure workstream leads are hitting deadlines
• Support post-close integration planning and assist with partnership and portfolio reviews, flagging performance trends for leadership attention

ABOUT YOU

You are curious and ambitious. You want to know how a business works and what makes them succeed or fail. You don't know everything, but you use AI tools to learn and develop your knowledge structure. You can build 3-statement financial models that are complete and accurate but also simple and streamlined. You navigate easily between modeling mode, presentation giving and deliverable tracking.

REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, Economics, Accounting or a related field
• 2-5 years' experience in investment banking, management consulting, private equity, or corporate development
• Strong financial modeling skills; you can build a model from scratch and defend every assumption

• Proven ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously under tight deadlines
• Intellectually curious; you're a fast and eager learner with the demonstrated ability of being a thought partner for strategic decisions
• Clear, concise written and verbal communication skills
• High proficiency in Excel and Power Point, CapIQ, and AI-based software and tools (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.)
