Senior Analyst, US Strategy & Corporate Development

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove statements like "I acknowledge by clicking..." etc. Also remove "Please note that visa sponsorship is not available..."? That's maybe not boilerplate but it's a condition; but it's not a section heading; we can keep as paragraph maybe under Requirements? It's a condition of employment; but we need to preserve all substantive info. However we must not create sections like Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting does state Pay: "annual base Pay Range for this position is $112,000 - $120,000 USD." Also mentions bonus/commission awards, benefits. So we can include Pay section with that info. Benefits: they list many benefits: Flexible working culture, Incentive programs, Unlimited PTO, Generous paid parental leave, Leading family support policies, Company-sponsored 401k match, Learning and wellness subscription stipend, Beautiful Union Square office with a casual dress code, Industry-leading, employer-sponsored insurance for you and your dependents, with several 100% Zip-covered choices available. Also mention "Zip is a place where you’ll get out what you put in." That's more fluff but we can keep as prose under Benefits maybe. Schedule: they mention Remote-first opportunity for US-based employees with option to work in-person out of Manhattan office. That's schedule/location info. So we can include Schedule section with that. Now we need sections: About the role (maybe a brief description). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe education/experience). Qualifications (maybe similar). Skills (maybe list). Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is likely "Corporate Development Associate" or similar but not given; we must not repeat it. We need to extract substantive content. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "Support Zip’s growth and capital allocation decisions by evaluating and executing high-impact acquisitions, investments and strategic opportunities.Bring deep transaction experience, rigorous financial and commercial judgment, and independently drive complex deals from thesis through execution.Remote-first opportunity for US-based employees with the option to work in-person out of our Manhattan office Start your adventure with Zip Working directly with the US Chief Strategy and Corporate Development Officer, you’ll be the execution engine behind Zip’s corporate development agenda performing market assessments, originating, evaluating and executing corporate development activities (acquisitions, investments, portfolio actions). You’ll own the analytical heavy-lifting on live activities: building the valuation and returns models, running diligence, pressure-testing transaction thesis, and turning it all into clear, board-grade materials and recommendations. Alongside that, you’ll support strategic reviews focused on the structural and market questions that determine strategic and capital allocation choices. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role with direct exposure to the executive team and the Board." That's a mix of about role and responsibilities. Then bullet list: "You will:" then list items. Then "What You’ll Bring To The Team" then list of qualifications. Then "Join us on our mission..." then fluff. Then "What You’ll Get In Return" then list of benefits. Then "Zip is committed to a straightforward and transparent pay structure..." then pay range. Then "Please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this position." etc. Then diversity statement. Then "And finally…get to know us Zip Co Limited..." description. Then application acknowledgment etc. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, scam warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to keep substantive info: role description, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule (remote-first, option to work in-person Manhattan). Also maybe mention "Remote-first opportunity for US-based employees with the option to work in-person out of our Manhattan office". That's schedule/location. Now we need to decide sections. About the role: Could be a short paragraph summarizing role: "Support Zip’s growth and capital allocation decisions by evaluating and executing high-impact acquisitions, investments and strategic opportunities. Bring deep transaction experience, rigorous financial and commercial judgment, and independently drive complex deals from thesis through execution. Working directly with the US Chief Strategy and Corporate Development Officer, you’ll be the execution engine behind Zip’s corporate development agenda performing market assessments, originating, evaluating and executing corporate development activities (acquisitions, investments, portfolio actions). You’ll own the analytical heavy-lifting on live activities: building the valuation and returns models, running diligence, pressure-testing transaction thesis, and turning it all into clear, board-grade materials and recommendations. Alongside that, you’ll support strategic reviews focused on the structural and market questions that determine strategic and capital allocation choices. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role with direct exposure to the executive team and the Board." That seems appropriate. Responsibilities: list from "You will:" bullet points. Let's extract those bullet points: - Transaction execution: lead the day-to-day execution of corporate development activities (M&A, strategic investments) from initial screening/business case development through diligence, valuation, structuring, documentation support and completion. - Origination & screening: build and maintain a thesis-led pipeline of strategic options, including market mapping, target profiles, preliminary valuation views and the discipline to recommend against a deal as readily as for one. - Financial modeling & valuation: build and own investment and transaction models (e.g. DCF, returns/IRR, accretion/dilution, sum-of-the-parts) and ensure the rigorous application of scenario and sensitivity analysis to stress-test thesis. - Deal structuring & negotiation support: work through deal structuring and analysis of key commercial terms; prepare the analysis that underpins negotiating positions and support the drafting and mark-up process alongside advisers. - Due diligence: run commercial and financial diligence work-streams end-to-end; unit economics, credit and cohort performance, market sizing, competitive dynamics and synergy assessment. This includes the management of data rooms and information requests. - Board & Executive materials: author the papers that support clear decision making and support the facilitation of executive briefings. This will include translating complex analysis into a clear recommendation with the reasoning visible. - Adviser & stakeholder coordination: run the day-to-day relationship with external advisers (e.g. investment banks, law firms, accountants and consultants) and partner across the business with functional leaders to move initiatives from concept to execution. We'll put each as

items.

. Benefits: list from "What You’ll Get In Return": "Flexible working culture Incentive programs Unlimited PTO Generous paid parental leave Leading family support policies Company-sponsored 401k match Learning and wellness subscription stipend Beautiful Union Square office with a casual dress code Industry-leading, employer-sponsored insurance for you and your dependents, with several 100% Zip-covered choices available" Also maybe "Zip is a place where you’ll get out what you put in." but that's fluff; we could include as prose. Pay: "Zip is committed to a straightforward and transparent pay structure. The actual base salary will be determined by various individualized factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, experience, location, internal equity, as well as other objective business considerations. The annual base Pay Range for this position is $112,000 - $120,000 USD. This range reflects our US national compensation band (USN). Additional premium percentages may apply based on our tiered premium strategy. Subject to those same considerations, the total compensation package for this position may also include other elements, including a bonus and/or commission awards, in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits." We'll include that as prose under Pay. Schedule: "Remote-first opportunity for US-based employees with the option to work in-person out of our Manhattan office" We'll include as prose under Schedule. We must not include sections like "About the role" if we already have that content; we need to decide if we need About the role separate from Responsibilities. The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include those headings if we have content. We need to avoid creating sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have real content. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce something like:

About the role

...

Responsibilities

• ...
...

Requirements

• ...
...

Skills

• ...
...

Benefits

• ...
...

Pay

...

Schedule

...

We need to ensure we don't repeat content unnecessarily. For Requirements we could combine education and experience. For Skills we could list the soft skills. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific models (DCF, returns/IRR, accretion/dilution, sum-of-the-parts), scenario and sensitivity analysis, etc. Also mention "AI to augment the M&A lifecycle and due diligence processes". Also mention "financial services experience is required; fintech, payments or consumer lending (e.g. BNPL, unsecured credit, earned wage access) strongly preferred". Also mention "Familiarity with listed-company transaction context; disclosure sensitivity, confidentiality protocols and process discipline". Also mention "Proven experience leveraging AI to augment the M&A lifecycle and due diligence processes". Also mention "Hands-on involvement in M&A and investment transactions through the full deal cycle, ideally with exposure to both buy-side and sell-side processes". Also mention "Advanced financial modeling and valuation capability, with strong discipline and model hygiene". Also mention "Strong commercial due diligence experience across market, competitive, operational and financial dimensions". Also mention "Bachelor’s degree in finance, economics, business administration or a related field; an MBA and/or CFA is well regarded". Also mention "4–6 years’ experience across investment banking, private equity, corporate development, transaction advisory and/or top-tier strategy consulting". Also mention "The ability to carry multiple work-streams at once and deliver to deadlines". Also mention "Self-directed, action-oriented and high-ownership, comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-moving environment".
