Corporate Development Manager

Visier is at an inflection point. We have a category-leading product, a global customer base, and a growth trajectory that creates real opportunities to accelerate through acquisition. We are building a corporate development function that can identify, evaluate, and execute against those opportunities - and we are looking for the person who will do that work.

This is not a role that was created to have a role. There is a concrete mandate: find the right acquisition targets, build the analytical case, run a rigorous process, and help close deals that make Visier stronger. The work is real, the stakes are real, and the CFO you will work with has both the experience and the appetite to move.

You came up through a deal environment. Whether that was investment banking, private equity, transaction advisory, or in-house corporate development, you have spent meaningful time executing real transactions - not advising on them from a distance, not doing research in support of someone else’s process, but actually in the work. You know what it feels like when a deal is moving well and when it isn’t.

You are analytically rigorous and intellectually honest. You build models that hold up, you find the issues in someone else’s model before they become problems, and you have the confidence to say when the numbers don’t support the thesis - even when people want them to. You are skeptical of received wisdom and comfortable defending a view.

You operate with ownership. You do not wait to be directed. You figure out what needs to happen next and you make it happen. You are comfortable with ambiguity, you manage your own workload without hand-holding, and when something falls through the cracks, you treat that as your failure to fix, not someone else’s.

You communicate clearly and work well with senior people. You write well. You present crisply. You can hold a conversation with a CFO, a CEO, or a founder without losing credibility - not because you perform confidence, but because you actually know what you’re talking about.

You are here to do the work, not to be seen doing it. We are a data-driven, substance-first organization. The right candidate is drawn to this role because of the quality of the mandate and the caliber of the people they will work with - not because it offers a platform or a title.

• 2–6 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, transaction advisory, or in-house corporate development, with hands-on deal execution across the full transaction lifecycle.
• Strong financial modeling skills - you build from scratch, you know where models break, and you can explain the output clearly to a non-technical audience.
• Experience running or coordinating due diligence processes, including financial statement analysis and commercial assessment.
• Demonstrated ability to prepare executive-level materials: investment memos, opportunity assessments, board presentations.
• Track record of working independently and managing multiple workstreams without close supervision.
• Experience in software, SaaS, or technology M&A is a meaningful advantage.
• CFA, CPA, or equivalent financial credential is an asset, not a requirement.

Visier is a cerebral, substance-first organization. We value intellectual rigor, directness, and the kind of confidence that doesn’t need to announce itself. We are a company that sells workforce intelligence - we hold our own people decisions to the same standard as the product.

This role will suit someone who wants to do genuinely hard, consequential work - someone who finds the analytical and commercial complexity of M&A intrinsically interesting, not just professionally useful. If you are looking for a high-visibility platform or a stepping stone to something more senior, this is probably not the right fit. If you are looking for a place where the quality of your thinking will matter more than your title, it might be exactly right.

Visier is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

• You roll up your sleeves
• You make it easy
• You are proud
• You never stop learning
• You play to win
