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).
