Vice President of Corporate Development
Private Equity-Backed, Multi-Site Healthcare Services Platform
Location: Flexible (with travel as required)

We are currently partnered with a private equity-backed, multi-site healthcare services organization seeking a strategic and execution-oriented Vice President of Corporate Development. This executive will report directly to the CEO and play a central role in scaling the platform through a robust, ongoing M&A strategy. The company is supported by a healthcare-dedicated private equity sponsor and led by a dynamic new CEO with deep operational and transactional expertise.

The VP will step into a business with strong momentum and an inherited pipeline of actionable M&A opportunities. The role is initially envisioned as a highly hands-on, individual contributor position—ideal for candidates who thrive in entrepreneurial settings and enjoy building from the ground up. Over time, there is a clear path to a Chief Development Officer title and the opportunity to build out a broader corporate development team as volume scales. Internal and sponsor resources are available to support financial modeling, diligence, and integration as needed.

Key Responsibilities

M&A Strategy & Execution

• Serve as the primary leader of the company’s acquisition strategy, targeting 10–12 transactions annually with a combined $5–8M in acquired EBITDA per year.
• Own the full M&A lifecycle: sourcing, diligence, financial modeling, LOI negotiation, board presentations, deal structuring, and integration planning.
• Collaborate closely with the CEO, private equity sponsor, and internal stakeholders to evaluate targets and present business cases to the investment committee.

Business Development & Deal Sourcing

• Build and manage relationships with brokers, advisors, vendors, and other referral sources to maintain a strong and diverse deal pipeline.
• Leverage both outbound and inbound tactics to identify founder-led or independent practice groups aligned with the platform’s strategic objectives.
• Drive creative outreach strategies through email, live networking, and direct engagement with practice owners and influencers in the space.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Coordinate due diligence efforts with functional leaders across operations, finance, legal, IT, and HR to ensure a smooth and efficient close process.
• Partner with the CEO to design scalable systems and processes to support integration planning and value creation initiatives post-close.

Performance Tracking & Reporting

• Monitor and communicate KPIs related to sourcing volume, deal progress, win rates, and acquisition contribution to enterprise value.
• Prepare and present regular updates to the board and sponsor team, including detailed financial and strategic rationale for each transaction.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 7+ years of experience in corporate development, investment banking, private equity, or M&A consulting—ideally within multi-site healthcare services.
• Deep working knowledge of PPM (physician practice management) M&A is required; dental-specific experience and relationships are strongly preferred but not required.
• Demonstrated ability to source, structure, and execute multiple M&A transactions, ideally in founder-led or lower-middle market environments.
• Highly effective communicator and relationship builder, comfortable engaging with clinicians, business owners, and executive leadership.
• Resourceful, self-starting operator with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, lean environment.
• Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or other advanced degree preferred.

Why This Role?

• Report directly to a highly experienced and growth-minded CEO.
• Backed by a committed private equity firm that exclusively invests in healthcare and is doubling down on M&A as a primary growth lever.
• Step into a strong existing pipeline while building long-term value in a scalable, acquisitive platform.
• Clear path to a Chief Development Officer role and the opportunity to build out your own team.
• Competitive compensation, equity participation, and benefits package.
