Idera, Inc.

Director of Corporate Development

Administration - Remote - Full Time

Background
Idera, Inc. brands deliver the B2B software tools that technical users trust most. From database
administration to application development, test management, and DevOps, our best-in-class
solutions help businesses do more with less. Idera, Inc. is growing rapidly, both organically and
through acquisition, and we are looking for a rising star to join our world-class team in Austin, Texas
(though remote candidates will also be considered).

What is the opportunity?
  • We are seeking a Director of Corporate Development to support the sourcing, evaluation, diligence, execution, and integration of acquisition transactions.
  • This role is both operational and strategic. Specific functions will include (i) managing Idera’s M&A target pipeline, (ii) managing cross functional M&A sourcing, transaction execution, and integration teams, (iii) maintaining dashboards and preparing presentations that track and analyze our industry and M&A activity, (iv) managing and tracking due diligence and transaction acquisition activities, and (v) ensuring effective post-acquisition integration and hand-off to business unit leadership.
  • The ideal candidate will have a background executing M&A transactions, familiarity with the software industry (i.e., experience covering the software industry for an investment bank, management consulting firm, law firm, or PE/venture capital firm or experience in finance or operations at a software company), and be looking to advance their career by managing the end-to-end corporate development process at a best-in-class software company.
  • This role will report directly to Idera’s Business Unit Presidents.
What does it take to succeed?
  • A Learner’s Mindset: Desire to learn and adapt in a rapidly growing and changing environment.
  • Focus on Results: Results matter. Idera rewards those who deliver – you should be a self-starter that is motivated by achieving outstanding results.
  • Understanding of Mergers & Acquisition Transactions: While talent is more important than experience, this role requires a fundamental understanding of M&A transaction processes (4+ years M&A experience required).
  • Familiarity with the Software/Technology Industry: 2+ years of software/technology industry experience desired, but not required (experience may be with a software company, consulting firm, investment firm, etc.).
  • Financial Literacy: Ability to read, understand, and analyze financial statements.
  • Skills: Critical thinker; highly organized; detail-oriented; strong written and oral communication skills; ability to identify opportunities and find a way to get things across the finish line; strong proficiency preparing PowerPoint decks is a plus.

Qualities: Tenacious and hungry. Exceptional ability to prioritize, focus, and understand the big-
picture implications of seemingly routine tasks.  Quick learner with the ability to execute following
instruction. Not intimidated by getting thrown into the deep end (or anything else for that matter).

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026
Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
