Vice President, Mergers & Acquisitions

Responsibilities

The Vice President, Mergers & Acquisitions (“VP”) will report directly to the Chief Acquisition Officer (“CAO”) of CMH and work on a four-person M&A team with the support of an experienced Associate. The M&A Group is responsible for the following:

• Origination of high-quality targets that meet CMH’s acquisition criteria
• Management across all stages of the M&A lifecycle including valuation, diligence, negotiations, closing, and early-stage integration
  
  

VP will gain invaluable, ground-floor experience across all aspects of the M&A lifecycle while working cross-functionally with CMH leaders and the Integration Management Office (“IMO”). This is not a “plug-and-play” position – this individual will play a key role in the evolution of the M&A group and the ultimate success of CMH.

An important facet of this role is knowledge management: M&A strives to have the largest, best and most accurate database of proprietary information in industry. Further, we are process-driven but seller-friendly, working hand-in-hand with sellers throughout diligence at a patient but brisk pace.

Travel will vary but is estimated to be once per month (or more).

• Creatively solve complex problems with limited information
• Ability to “own” quality of earnings and other due diligence workstreams
• Value Creation & Delivery:
• Draft indications of interest and letters of intent
• Play leadership role aggregating, reviewing and summarizing diligence findings across functional areas
• Work with CAO, IMO and leadership to identify and quantify synergies
• Own diligence workstreams
• Assist CAO and counsel to draft purchase agreements and ancillary documents
• Run diligence calls with sellers in a highly patient and affable manner
• Ensure team-wide communication and documentation of diligence results
• Presentations:
• Prepare high-quality presentations that communicate complex ideas in a professional, succinct manner
• Display a deep commitment to accuracy through ownership of work product
• Research:
• Create whitepapers and reports supporting the M&A strategy
• Conduct proactive research that impacts CMH and the industry
• Track and maintain transaction “comps” related to industry M&A activity
