About the Role
Mesh is hiring its first dedicated Corporate Development lead, a foundational role with a direct impact on the company’s trajectory. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, finance, and technology, you'll need to be as comfortable in a data room as you are interrogating an API integration or stress-testing a settlement architecture with an engineering team. This is an opportunity to build and own our M&A and strategic partnerships function from the ground up. You’ll define how we identify, evaluate, and execute high-impact opportunities, working closely with leadership to shape where Mesh goes next. From setting strategy to building a pipeline to closing deals, you’ll operate across the full lifecycle, expanding our capabilities, licensing footprint, and distribution through thoughtful, well-executed partnerships and acquisitions. We’re looking for someone who thrives in early, unstructured environments, takes initiative, and is excited to turn ambition into action.
Responsibilities
- Build and own a high-quality pipeline of M&A opportunities and strategic partnerships across the crypto payments ecosystem
- Lead deals end-to-end: from first outreach through diligence, negotiation, and close
- Run rigorous diligence across financials, product architecture, API integrations, and commercial viability, assessing build-vs-buy tradeoffs, integration complexity, and engineering risk
- Develop investment theses, deal frameworks, and scoring models; present insights directly to the CEO, SVP, and board
- Partner closely with Legal and Finance to structure and negotiate deals
- Stay on top of the competitive landscape, tracking key players, emerging trends, and whitespace opportunities
- Build and manage relationships with investment banks, advisors, and potential targets
Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree in Business or Finance or related field
- 5+ years of experience in investment banking, growth, venture capital, product, or strategy roles, or in-house corporate development at a fintech or crypto company
- Experience leading M&A or strategic partnerships from first conversation through close
- Deep understanding of the fintech and payments industry and how money moves, including working knowledge of licensing and regulatory aspects
- Strong grasp of crypto payments infrastructure and how the pieces fit together
- Experience evaluating or working closely with crypto infrastructure at the API layer
- Comfortable getting into the weeds with crypto APIs and exchange integrations
- Sharp financial instincts with the ability to build models from scratch and pressure-test assumptions
- Technically fluent enough to evaluate a target's API architecture, assess integration complexity, and hold a credible diligence conversation with an engineering team
- Clear, concise communicator who can turn complexity into compelling, board-ready narratives
