Director of Corporate Development

Join Unity, a leading platform for creating and operating real-time 3D content. As the Director of Corporate Development, you will play a crucial role in shaping Unity's acquisition strategy and executing transactions. You will work closely with business leaders, lead diligence and negotiation, and own the integration process. This is a high-impact role that reports to the SVP of Strategic Partnerships & Corporate Development.

Responsibilities

• Évaluer les opportunités d'acquisition, de partenariat ou de développement interne pour soutenir la transition de Unity vers un modèle basé sur l'IA et la publicité.
• Diriger le processus d'acquisition de bout en bout, y compris la diligence raisonnable, la négociation et l'intégration post-acquisition.
• Construire et maintenir un pipeline d'acquisition, en travaillant avec les leaders de l'entreprise pour définir les thèses d'acquisition et établir une liste de cibles prioritaires.
• Expert valuation and deal modeling — able to build the case, defend the assumptions under pressure, and recognize when to walk away
• Exceptional written and verbal communication — a core requirement of this role, not a finishing touch. You can write the memo, build the narrative, and hold a room of senior stakeholders while defending a recommendation under pressure
• Sound judgment in ambiguity, paired with the operational follow-through to get from a framework to a signed, integrated deal
• Led 3–5 acquisitions end to end, from sourcing through close, including at least one you were accountable for integrating

Requirements

• 8+ years across investment banking, private equity, or in-house corporate development at a technology company, including meaningful time in-house
• Demonstrated ownership of post-close integration: standing up the plan, driving functional work streams, and reporting value capture against the original deal model
• Credibility with operators: you can earn the trust of a GM who has to absorb an acquired team, not just of the deal team
• Willingness to use AI tools and automation to compress diligence, analysis and reporting cycles
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or a related field
• Ad tech, advertising monetization, or programmatic experience
• Experience with partnerships, joint ventures, or minority investments alongside outright acquisitions

Preferred

• Experience in gaming, interactive 3D, or a developer platform business
• Experience through a business model transition, such as perpetual to subscription or subscription to consumption-based pricing
