Senior Financial Analyst, Corporate Development & M&A Job at Babylist

Job Description

This is not a traditional FP&A role. As a Senior Financial Analyst, Corporate Development & M&A, you’ll be a key contributor to Babylist’s growth strategy—working directly with the Head of Corporate Development and Director of Corporate Finance to evaluate acquisitions, support fundraising, and analyze strategic investments. You’ll be embedded in live deal processes, not monthly close. Roughly 70% of your time will be focused on M&A: researching acquisition targets, building detailed financial models, coordinating due diligence workstreams, and creating investment memos that drive decision-making at the executive and board level. The other 30% will be spent on strategic finance support, including investor materials, board decks, and high-priority analyses between active deals.

Job Responsibility

Evaluate potential acquisition targets, supporting initial screening, market research, and fit assessment
Build and maintain financial models, including three-statement forecasts, DCFs, public/transaction comps, and deal return scenarios
Draft investment memos that clearly communicate strategic rationale, financial upside, risks, and integration considerations
Maintain a M&A pipeline tracker, logging progress and preparing targets for internal discussion
Coordinate diligence workstreams across legal, finance, ops, and product—tracking open items and managing timelines
Create executive-ready readouts summarizing deal status, key findings, and next steps
Support materials for active financings: investor presentations, FAQs, and business metric deep dives (LTV/CAC, cohort retention, funnel conversion, etc.)
Help maintain and prepare data room materials—ensuring accuracy, consistency, and readiness for diligence
Partner with leadership on strategic messaging for investor-facing materials
Provide analytical support on high-priority initiatives (e.g., scenario planning, business case modeling, board prep)
Contribute to executive and board materials during quieter deal cycles, often in collaboration with our FP&A team

Requirements

2–5 years in investment banking (analyst or associate level), private equity, or corporate development, with experience supporting live deals
Expert-level financial modeling skills, including three-statement operating models, DCF valuations, comps, and return analyses—built in real deal contexts
Comfortable modeling with limited information—you can build a logical framework, make defensible assumptions, and explain them clearly to cross-functional stakeholders
Strong conceptual thinker—you can model a marketplace vs. direct ecommerce vs. SaaS business and understand how monetization flows through financials
Polished communicator—your models, memos, and presentations reflect the rigor expected in banking or PE, with zero tolerance for formatting errors or sloppy logic
Capable of distilling complexity into clarity—you can turn a 50-tab spreadsheet into a two-page executive summary that leads with the insight
Detail-oriented and process-aware—you can manage multiple timelines, track diligence tasks, and keep cross-functional teams aligned
Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Docs, and Slides, with strong judgment about what details to surface (and what to cut) when communicating upward

Nice to have

Experience supporting data rooms, fundraising processes, or working on investor presentations
You're comfortable and enthusiastic about working in an AI-forward environment where AI tools are part of daily operations. You embrace technology to enhance your work while keeping people at the center
