About you
As an Senior Manager, Corporate Development at AppDirect Capital, you'll independently source and execute deals in the energy sector, building financial models and investment memos that guide multi-million dollar decisions while partnering with finance, legal, and people teams to bring transactions to close. You'll represent AppDirect Capital externally—attending industry conferences, meeting with partners, and developing proprietary deal flow—then translate those opportunities into clear, compelling narratives for senior leadership and boards. You thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where you balance rigorous analysis with the autonomy to make decisions and drive outcomes, ideally bringing prior experience in energy, infrastructure, or services-enabled financing to help launch and scale our Energy investment program.
What you’ll do and how you’ll have an impact
- Lead end-to-end origination, evaluation, and execution of AppDirect Capital investment and acquisition opportunities, with a primary focus on Energy;
- Source and proactively develop proprietary deal flow aligned to AppDirect Capital’s strategy;
- Own deal diligence and execution, including financial modeling, valuation, investment memos, and transaction support through signing and close;
- Partner closely with Strategic Finance, Legal, and People to structure, negotiate, and close transactions efficiently and rigorously;
- Design and help launch an AppDirect Capital program for AppDirect Energy, including market mapping, product structure, and operating model;
- Represent AppDirect Capital at industry events, conferences, and onsite meetings with current and prospective partners;
- Report directly to the Head of Corporate Development.
What we’re looking for
- 7+ years of experience in corporate development, investment banking, private equity, venture, or structured finance, ideally with exposure to energy, infrastructure, or services-enabled financing;
- Demonstrated ability to independently run deals from sourcing through close in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment;
- Strong financial modeling, valuation;
- Proven experience collaborating with finance, legal, HR/People, and executive stakeholders on complex transactions;
- High ownership mindset with the ability to operate ambiguously and autonomously while maintaining high execution standards;
- Clear, concise communicator with experience preparing investment materials for senior leadership and boards;
- Willingness to travel as needed for industry events and onsite diligence.
