Senior Associate, Corporate Development

Ohr

1d • $135,000 - $165,000 • Remote

About The Position

Chemistry is the invisible layer under every critical system, and the supply chain behind it has become a weapon. Ohr makes the molecules that matter most, from the atom up: energetics, propellants, rare-earth extractants and the ignition chemicals already in production today. Acquisitions are one of Ohr's two engines for growth. We're not simply buying businesses—we're acquiring the industrial infrastructure, qualified production capabilities, and established defense relationships that would otherwise take years to build. As Senior Associate, Corporate Development, you'll report to the Director of Strategic Initiatives and help build this acquisition engine from the ground up, identifying strategic targets, driving transactions, and translating acquired capabilities into lasting competitive advantage. This is not a traditional banking or private equity seat. You'll apply rigorous dealmaking to an unconventional industrial strategy where the value of an acquisition extends beyond its existing business to the new molecules, markets, and manufacturing possibilities it unlocks.

Requirements

• 3–4 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, corporate development, or transaction advisory.
• Direct experience executing M&A transactions, including financial modeling, valuation, and due diligence.
• Strong financial and commercial judgment, with the ability to assess opportunities beyond conventional valuation metrics.
• Ability to lead complex transaction workstreams and coordinate stakeholders across multiple disciplines.
• Clear, compelling communication skills and experience working with executive stakeholders.
• High ownership, exceptional organization, and a bias toward action.
• Candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, or a protected individual as defined under 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3).

Nice To Haves

• Interest in or experience with deep tech, chemicals, energy, defense, or industrial markets is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Lead acquisition workstreams: Own key workstreams across live transactions, from investment thesis and valuation through due diligence, deal structuring, and negotiation support. Coordinate finance, legal, technical, and operational teams to keep deals moving with velocity and discipline.
• Source and evaluate strategic acquisitions: Identify and prioritize acquisition targets across licensed manufacturing sites, qualified production lines, and businesses with established defense customers. Evaluate each opportunity for both standalone value and its potential to accelerate Ohr's chemistry platform.
• Drive acquisition value creation: Partner with Strategy & Operations and functional leaders to translate acquisition theses into integration priorities, track value creation, and ensure the strategic rationale behind each deal becomes operational reality.
• Build Ohr's acquisition playbook: Design the frameworks, decision criteria, and repeatable processes that enable Ohr to acquire with speed and discipline. Capture lessons from every transaction and continuously improve how Ohr identifies, evaluates, and executes future acquisitions.

Benefits

• MEDICAL COVERAGE: A wide range of plans, with many options fully covered for employees and dependents at no cost to the employee.
• 401(K) WITH MATCH: Employer match up to 4% of eligible compensation.
• PAID TIME OFF: Vacation, paid company holidays, and an end-of-year shutdown.
• BONUS: Ohr is in the process of developing a bonus program. Once in place, bonuses will be discretionary and tied to individual and company performance.
• EQUITY: You're joining at an early and consequential moment in Ohr's growth — equity commensurate with experience, with meaningful upside as we scale.
