About the role
- We embrace and celebrate differences and diversity.
Responsibilities
- Build and manage the full M&A pipeline: identify targets, develop the strategic rationale, lead diligence, structure and negotiate terms, and drive deals through close and integration handoff.
- Design and launch Temporal's ecosystem investment program - thesis, mandate, check sizes, sourcing pipeline, and governance - to invest in companies building on top of the platform.
- Own investment execution end-to-end: sourcing, diligence, term negotiation, board/observer rights, and portfolio monitoring and reporting.
- Partner closely with Product to align acquisition and investment targets with the platform roadmap, identifying where build, buy, partner, or invest is the right call.
- Develop and maintain a market map of the Temporal ecosystem, tracking companies, competitive dynamics, and emerging opportunities for partnership, investment, or acquisition.
- Build financial models and valuation analyses to support deal decisions and present clear recommendations to executive leadership and the board.
- Manage relationships with bankers, lawyers, VCs, and founders, representing Temporal as a thoughtful, trusted counterparty in the ecosystem.
- Head of Corporate Development to own two connected mandates:
- sourcing and executing M&A that accelerates our product roadmap and market position, and building - from the ground up - a strategic seed investment program focused on companies building on top of the Temporal platform.
- You will partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership to ensure every deal and every investment strengthens the Temporal ecosystem.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in corporate development, venture capital/growth investing, investment banking, or private equity, ideally with exposure to both M&A and minority investing.
- A track record of sourcing, structuring, and closing deals independently, from first conversation to signed agreement.
- Experience partnering with Product and Engineering teams to translate technical and platform strategy into deal criteria.
- Strong financial modeling, valuation, and diligence skills, paired with sound commercial judgment.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trust with founders, investors, and internal executives alike.
- Comfort operating with significant ambiguity - this role will define its own playbook.
- You'll build a net-new investment program from scratch while shaping Temporal's M&A strategy, working at the intersection of product, platform, and capital - with direct visibility to executive leadership and real influence over how the Temporal ecosystem grows.
