Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s degree in finance, Economics, Business, Engineering, or a related field
- MBA strongly preferred
- 2–4 years of experience in top‑tier strategy consulting, corporate strategy, or a similarly rigorous analytical environment
- Strong analytical problem‑solving skills, with the ability to structure complex, ambiguous questions
- Demonstrated ability to project‑manage complex, cross‑functional initiatives
- Sound business judgment and comfort operating in evolving, high‑stakes environments
- Clear, structured communication skills with executive‑level stakeholders
- Intellectual curiosity across technology, cloud ecosystems, and enterprise software business models
What the job involves
- At Veeam, we are accelerating growth through strategic partnerships, ecosystem expansion, and selective inorganic opportunities
- To support this agenda, we are seeking a Manager, Corporate Development to focus on front‑end deal strategy, opportunity shaping, and diligence leadership, helping determine where and how we invest time and capital
- This role is ideal for a high‑potential, analytically rigorous professional—typically with a background in strategy consulting followed by an MBA—who is stepping into their first substantive industry role
- The Manager will operate upstream of execution teams, providing early‑stage insight and strategic framing, and will remain closely attached to deals they help identify and assess, project‑managing the diligence process through deal closure to ensure momentum, structure, and cross‑functional alignment
- Support the front‑end evaluation of M&A, partnership, and ecosystem opportunities, including:
- Total Addressable Market (TAM) sizing and market structure analysis
- Revenue, cross‑sell, and synergy hypothesis development (in close partnership with Finance)
- High‑level scenario framing to support investment decisions
- Translate ambiguous strategic ideas into structured, decision‑ready insights for senior leadership
- Assess and prioritize multiple potential opportunities in parallel, acting as an analytical and strategic filter before deeper diligence begins
- Support opportunity shaping across diverse strategic themes, including:
- Hyperscaler and cloud ecosystem business development
- On‑prem to cloud partnership strategies
- Emerging platform, data, and technology adjacencies
- Maintain a portfolio‑level view of opportunities, supporting funnel visibility, prioritization, and leadership updates
- Remain attached to deals you help source and assess, supporting them end‑to‑end through decision and closure
- Project‑manage the diligence process, coordinating across Corporate Development, Finance, Legal, Product, and external advisors
- Own diligence planning, workplans, timelines, dependency tracking, and issue escalation to keep deals moving efficiently
- Partner closely with Finance and external audit/advisory firms, who will lead detailed financial analysis and provide formal financial opinions, while ensuring inputs are aligned and decisions stay on track
- Act as the central point of orchestration across workstreams, ensuring clarity of roles, decision rights, and next steps
- Clearly distinguish between exploratory assessment and active diligence, while maintaining continuity of ownership across the deal lifecycle
- Enable efficient execution without repeatedly disrupting core operating teams
- Support leadership through final decision‑making and transaction close, with readiness for downstream integration ownership
Our take
The increasing reliance of businesses on data and the growing volume of data generated make organisations more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Veeam is a leading provider of backup, recovery, and data management solutions, focusing on simplifying backups for virtual machines, achieving any recovery objective, maximising investments, and reducing management overhead.
Veeam continuously introduces product updates, recently including cloud-native solutions to protect data across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The company currently safeguards data for over 400,000 customers worldwide, including over 80% of the Fortune 500 and 70% of the Global 2,000, with clients like Fujitsu, Siemens, and VW.
Its acquisition by Insight Partners in 2020 enables Veeam to expand into new markets, fueling its continued growth. Veeam is poised to remain a leader by driving industry innovation and staying ahead of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.
