Role Description

As a Corporate Development & M&A Intern, you will work directly alongside our small deal team to support active research, analysis, and strategic projects. This is a real working role — not a shadowing experience. You will contribute to live workstreams, develop professional skills in financial analysis and industry research, and present findings to senior team members.

• Market Mapping: Research and build a landscape of potential acquisition targets and strategic partners across adtech, martech, data infrastructure, and AI-driven advertising verticals.
• Competitive Intelligence: Analyze public filings, earnings transcripts, and press releases to track the strategic moves of key competitors including The Trade Desk, Integral Ad Science, and Nielsen.
• Financial Research: Assist in compiling revenue, growth, and profitability benchmarks for target companies using tools like PitchBook, Crunchbase, and public filings.
• Deal Screening: Support the team in building target screening scorecards that evaluate strategic fit, product overlap, and financial metrics.
• Presentation Support: Help prepare internal memos, slide decks, and briefing materials for corporate development team reviews.
• Industry Deep Dives: Produce a research brief on an emerging segment (e.g., AI-generated content verification, retail media measurement, or agentic advertising) and present it to the corporate development team at the end of the internship.

Qualifications

• Strong academic record with interest in business, economics, finance, or technology.
• Comfort working with data and spreadsheets (Excel or Google Sheets).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Genuine curiosity about how companies grow through strategy and acquisitions.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to work independently on research projects.
• Rising Junior or Senior.

Requirements

• You don't need prior finance experience — but you do need to be curious, driven, and comfortable with ambiguity.
