Job description

(Sr) Associate, Corporate Development

Designed with simplicity in mind, Verkada's six product lines provide unparalleled building security through an integrated, cloud-based software platform. Over 33,500 organizations, including 96 companies in the Fortune 500, across 93 countries worldwide trust Verkada as their physical security layer for easier management, intelligent control, and scalable deployments. Founded in 2016 with more than $700M in funding raised to-date, Verkada has expanded rapidly with 15 offices and 2,200+ full-time employees.

About The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Corporate Development team at a high-growth pre-IPO startup. As a key member of a small team supporting over 2,000 colleagues, you will be a key player in evaluating and executing M&A opportunities and supporting strategic finance special projects. This role will partner cross-functionally as a trusted advisor to various leaders and teams across Verkada to drive inorganic growth opportunities (including M&A and partnerships), as well as organic strategic initiatives, while maintaining operational excellence, helping us reach the next level of scale and operating sophistication in the process.

What You'll Do

  • Conduct market research and competitive analysis to identify industry trends, potential acquisition targets, and partnership opportunities
  • Participate in due diligence processes, including data analysis, financial review, and coordination with cross-functional teams (Finance, Product, Legal, etc.)
  • Track and analyze key performance indicators for strategic projects
  • Prepare summaries, reports, and updates for senior leadership and executive team
  • Contribute to strategic finance special projects as needed

What You Bring

  • 2-4+ years of top tier professional experience. You're coming to us from a Strategic Finance, Business Operations, FP&A, or other highly analytical role at a fast growing startup, and may have begun your career in investing, management consulting, and / or investment banking.
  • High analytical horsepower paired with strong modeling and data skills. You can effortlessly translate business concepts to well structured spreadsheet models, and are excited to learn new analytical tools and generate insights through data. Familiarity with SQL / database concepts as well as modern BI tools (e.g. Looker, Pigment) is a plus.
  • Attention to detail and strong strategic instincts. You are meticulous in ensuring your and others' output is precise and error-free, but pair this with a strong sense for 80 / 20 to know when things "pass the smell test" and what is critical vs. secondary to an answer.
  • A growth mindset and comfort with ambiguity. You are comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment that will require you to create structure out of ambiguity, manage often competing priorities, and pivot quickly when circumstances change.
  • Excellent communication and partnership skills. You can effectively engage with a diverse array of stakeholders ranging from sales reps to engineers, and build the credibility, relationships, and buy-in necessary to strike the delicate balance between partnering and constructive challenging that this role requires. Fantastic written and verbal communication skills are a must.
  • A team player with a low "ego to smarts ratio". You bring a positive, learn-it-all (not know-it-all) energy to your teams, and are generally known for being great to work with. Life is short we want to enjoy the time we spend with our colleagues!
  • Must be willing and able to work onsite five days per week.
  • US Employee Benefits

    Verkada is committed to fostering a workplace environment that prioritizes the holistic health and wellbeing of our employees and their families by offering comprehensive wellness perks, benefits, and resources. Our benefits and perks programs include, but are not limited to :
