We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow. You Are You spent two or three years in investment banking or consulting and learned how to build a model, structure a deal, and work under pressure. Now you want to apply that rigor to something with more continuity, where you see the business case through to execution and integration, not just the pitch deck. You care about deal making, not just deal modeling. The idea of sourcing a target, running diligence, negotiating terms, and then watching the integration unfold excites you more than another financial restructuring project. You are comfortable walking into a room with a VP of Engineering and a CFO, understanding what gaps exist in a product portfolio, and translating that into a target list by Friday. You do not need perfect data to start building a business case. You ask the right questions, pressure test assumptions, and move quickly without cutting corners. You lead by influence because you have to. You are not managing anyone, but you are coordinating across finance, legal, strategy, and business units to keep a deal on track. At Synopsys, you will be exposed to the most senior leaders in the company and the deals that shape where we go next. ### What You'll Be Doing - Source and evaluate M&A targets by partnering with business leaders across Synopsys toidentifygaps in product portfolios and growth opportunities - Build financial models and business cases that support deal rationale, valuation, and strategic fit for senior leadership review - Support deal execution by coordinating due diligence, managing data rooms, and working cross functionally with legal, finance, and business unit leaders - Partner with the strategy function to analyze market trends, competitive dynamics, and technology shifts that inform M&A priorities - Track and support post close integration efforts by ensuring deal value drivers are understood and progress is visible to stakeholders - Maintain dealpipeline tracking, target research, and ongoing market intelligence to keep the corporate development team ahead of opportunities The Impact You Will Have You will help shape Synopsys' product portfolio byidentifyingand closing acquisitions that fill strategic gaps and accelerate growth Your financial models and business cases will inform decisions made by the executive team and board of directors You will accelerate deal timelines by keeping cross functional teams aligned and moving through diligence and negotiation without unnecessary delays You will ensure acquired companies integrate successfully by tracking value realization and surfacing risks early You will build institutional knowledge around target markets and emerging technologies that inform long term corporate strategy You will create visibility into the M&A pipeline that helps leadership prioritize where to invest time and capital You willestablishrelationships with senior leaders across the company that position you for long term growth in corporate development or strategy ### What You'll Need 3 to 5 years of experience in investment banking, consulting, or corporate development with exposure to M&A deal processes Strong financial modeling skills and the ability to build business cases that hold up under scrutiny Experience supporting deal execution, including due diligence coordination, valuation analysis, or transaction support An MBA or equivalent analytical training that prepared you to work with ambiguous problems and senior stakeholders Comfort working in Excel, PowerPoint, and financial analysis tools to build models and communicate recommendations clearly Experience in technology, semiconductor, or software sectors is a plus but notrequired ### Who You Are You can build a credible financial model in a day and explain the key assumptions to a CFO in two minutes without losing the thread You do not wait for someone to tell you what to do next. You see a gap in the diligence checklist or the integration plan and you fill it You are comfortable being the least senior person in the room and stillaskingthe question that changes the direction of the conversation You treat every deal like it matters because you know that one acquisition can shift the trajectory of a business unit or the entire company You are organized enough to manage five workstreams at once and still know exactly where each deal stands without checking your notes You want to grow into a corporate development or strategy leadership role and you are willing to put in the work to get there The Team You'll Be Part Of You will report into the Corporate Development organization and work closely with the strategy function. This team is responsible for sourcing, executing, and integrating acquisitions that drive growth and fill product portfolio gaps across Synopsys. You will partner with senior leaders across business units, finance, legal, and operations. The team is small, which means high visibility and direct exposure to executive decision making. Integration efforts are led by a separate leader, but you will stay connected to ensure deal value is realized post close. Rewards and Benefits We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings.
