Director of Strategy and Corporate Development
About Us
As the UK's favourite property platform, we're always looking ahead - exploring new opportunities, solving complex challenges, and shaping the future of the Proptech market. To help us do that, we're hiring a Senior Corporate Development Manager to join our team.
Role Overview
In this highly visible role, you will partner with the Director of Strategy and Corporate Development, Chief Strategy Officer, and executive leadership to shape and execute Rightmove’s long-term growth agenda.
You will lead the evaluation of high impact growth opportunities and strategic priorities, identifying the optimal strategic pathway across organic build, strategic partnerships, minority investments, acquisitions, and portfolio optimization.
What You’ll Be Doing
This role offers a unique opportunity to influence senior business decisions and contribute directly to our strategic direction:
- Strategic assessment: Frame complex business opportunities and challenges, evaluate strategic options, and appraise solutions across Build, Buy, and Partner pathways.
- End to end transaction management: Drive senior stakeholder engagement and orchestrate all steps of the transaction lifecycle across strategic rationale, market screening, due diligence, financial analysis, valuation, and deal execution with external advisors and internal cross-functional teams.
- Integration and Value Creation Strategy: Own the post-acquisition integration framework to ensure synergies and commercial objectives are delivered.
- Market intelligence and ecosystem radar: Develop deep expertise in the Proptech landscape through market research and building relationships with the external community (founders, industry experts, VCs, and advisors).

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

- Proven ability to deliver insightful recommendations and undertake sound strategic analysis using hypothesis-based problem-solving.
- Excellent analytical capability with the ability to undertake qualitative and quantitative analysis (including data analysis and financial modelling).
- Strong communicator with executive presence and ability to craft executive-level presentations to credibly engage with a variety of senior stakeholders.
- Experience across multiple parts of the transaction lifecycle from sourcing through to integration.
- Comfortable in a lean, high-impact team: equally comfortable presenting to senior leaders and executing core analytical and presentation deliverables.
