Sr. Associate, Corporate Development

Team: Strategy

Location: Remote

Commitment: Full-time

Workplace Type: remote

What is the role:

As the Corporate Development Sr. Associate at Offchain Labs, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of blockchain technology by identifying, acquiring, and building blockchain solutions at scale. This role requires a strategic thinker with a hands-on approach to identifying opportunities, evaluating them, and executing transactions that align with Offchain Labs vision for decentralized infrastructure.

What youll do:

Support M&A and strategic investment activity end to end - screen and evaluate targets, lead market and operating diligence across engineering, product, legal, and finance, build valuation models, write investment memos, and support leadership on deal structuring and negotiation.

Own post-merger integration planning and execution - define the integration thesis prior to signing, build the integration plan, and drive the workstreams required to realize deal objectives.

Support in fundraising preparedness - maintain diligence-ready materials, data rooms, financial models, and KPI reporting, and manage process timelines and open items during live processes.

Develop strategic business cases for new opportunities, including market and competitive analysis, target segments and use cases, deal or partnership economics, and execution roadmap.

Be a strategic thinker to the leadership team - bring an informed external view on competitors, market structure, and emerging models into strategic planning, and translate it into clear recommendations.

Drive internal strategy communications - synthesize company priorities into clear strategy memos, and support planning and execution tracking against the agreed strategy.

Establish scalable processes and develop strategies that enhance Offchain Labs corporate development capabilities, keeping pace with the rapidly evolving blockchain industry.

Build relationships with blockchain founders, and industry leaders while maintaining a robust organic pipeline of opportunities.

What you’ll need:

4–6 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, management consulting, or a corporate development or strategic finance function.

Direct involvement in at least one M&A or fundraise process from start to close, with real ownership of workstreams rather than adjacent exposure.

Genuine fluency in crypto, with crypto-native work experience strongly preferred.

Strong financial modeling and market sizing skills, including in segments where public data is limited or inconsistent.

Exceptional written and visual communication. You can build an executive-ready deck without hand-holding and write clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Comfort with ambiguity and a high degree of ownership - small team, wide surface area, and constant movement between long-range strategy work and next-day turnarounds.

Bachelors degree.
