Perform industry and market research on telecom sub-sectors, including 5G infrastructure, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), tower companies, data centers, satellite communications, and adjacent technology markets to identify acquisition opportunities and assess competitive dynamics.
Support due diligence efforts by coordinating with internal stakeholders (finance, legal, network engineering, regulatory, operations) and external advisors (brokers, investment bankers, consultants, law firms) to evaluate financial, operational, technical, and regulatory aspects of target opportunities.
Build detailed operating models incorporating telecom-specific KPIs such as lease-up growth assumptions, network capex and opex, tower tenancy ratios, Tower Cashflow, and EBITDA margins.
Prepare executive presentations, investment memoranda, and executive briefing materials that clearly communicate transaction rationale, financial impact, synergy opportunities, and risk factors.
Track and maintain a pipeline of pending, ongoing, potential targets, monitor industry transaction activity, and provide regular market updates to leadership on competitor M&A activity and valuation trends.
Support post-merger integration planning by quantifying synergies, verifying as-bought data, financials, and tracking integration milestones against deal thesis assumptions.
Be highly productive and able to work on multiple opportunities at the same time with tight timelines and turnaround times. Work as part of the overall corporate development team and be a strong team player.

Strong attention to detail, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to manage multiple workstreams under tight deadlines.
