Let’s build what’s next, together.
We are Spotnana. We’re on a mission to modernize the infrastructure of the $11.7 trillion travel industry to power the perfect trip for travelers everywhere. Our Travel-as-a-Service platform is designed to make every trip better, whether someone is booking for work or leisure travel, building a travel tool, or looking to offer personalized experiences at scale.
We’re not just modernizing tech, we’re rethinking how the industry works. And to get there, we’re bringing together innovative, ambitious, and open-minded people who want to build something that lasts.
At Spotnana, our values and principles guide how we work and grow together:
- Build the future – We are leaders, we are innovators, we are ambitious.
- Commit to excellence – We’re accountable, we are partners, we are agile.
- Stronger together – We lead with respect and integrity, we are inclusive, we are lifelong learners.
The opportunity ahead
This is a critical, high-impact role at the center of Spotnana's business. Reporting directly to the Chief Corporate Development Officer, you will lead diligence workstreams, drive integration planning and execution, and support the evaluation of new opportunities. You'll work regularly with Spotnana's C-suite and partner with leaders across every function of the business. As an early member of the Corporate Development team, you'll also help build the playbooks, tools, and processes that define how Spotnana does M&A and critical partnerships.
How you'll help us build
We expect diligence and integration to make up roughly 60-70% of the role, with deal evaluation and execution making up the remaining 30-40%.
Diligence
- Plan and manage diligence processes end to end, including scoping workstreams, coordinating internal functional leads, and managing external advisors such as banking, accounting, legal, and consulting firms.
- Pressure-test diligence findings and turn them into clear implications for valuation, deal structure, and integration planning.
- Manage data room reviews, track open issues, and prepare diligence summaries for senior leadership.
Integration planning and execution
- Help run integration management offices (IMOs) for acquisitions, including workstream planning, governance cadence, and progress reporting.
- Drive Day 1 readiness and post-merger integration across functions such as finance, HR, IT, product, engineering, and commercial teams.
- Build and maintain synergy tracking, measuring realized value against the deal model and flagging risks early.
- Manage transition services agreements (TSAs) and other post-close commitments.
Deal evaluation and execution
- Build and own financial models for potential acquisitions, including valuation, synergy analysis, and accretion/dilution.
- Research and screen potential targets in support of our acquisition strategy.
- Prepare investment materials and recommendations for the C-suite and Board.
Building the M&A function
- Develop repeatable tools and templates, including diligence checklists, integration playbooks, and model templates, so that transactions of different sizes can be run efficiently.
Experience you bring
- 2–4 years of experience in strategy or operations consulting, investment banking, or transaction advisory, with direct involvement in M&A transactions.
- Demonstrated experience running workstreams or projects with multiple stakeholders, ideally including diligence or post-merger integration.
- Strong financial modeling skills, including the ability to build a transaction model from scratch.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including experience preparing materials for senior executives.
- Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to drive work forward without direct authority over the people involved.
- Willingness to travel as needed during active diligence and integration.
- Bachelor's degree in business, finance, economics, engineering, or a related field.
Nice to have
- Experience on the buy side or on integration projects, as opposed to only sell-side or strategy work.
- Exposure to travel, travel technology, or B2B software.
- Experience building templates, playbooks, or repeatable processes.
- MBA or relevant professional certification (e.g., CFA, CPA), though not required.
