A Corporate Development Manager helps develop, manage and analyze corporate development through mergers and acquisitions or strategic alliances. Leads research, cost/benefit analyses of mergers, and communicates results to stakeholders. Includes developing and maintaining professional relationships, marketing the proposed changes and assisting in transitions.
Most recruiting leadership roles are designed to manage activity. Fill jobs. Manage recruiters. Review metrics. Attend meetings. Repeat. This isn't that role. At Qualigence, we've built a company around a simple belief: The best recruiters, researchers, consultants, and business developers are entrepreneurs trapped inside traditional org charts. They see opportunities others miss. They think about clients, markets, growth, profitability, and long-term impact. They don't just want to fill positions. They want to build something meaningful. We're looking for an intrapreneur. Someone who wants the freedom and accountability of running a business with the support, infrastructure, and resources of an established organization. Someone who wants ownership. Someone who wants to lead. Someone who wants to build.
WHAT YOU'LL BUILD
You won't inherit a desk. You'll build a business. You'll lead a high-performing team responsible for helping organizations solve complex talent and workforce challenges through recruiting, executive search, talent intelligence, organizational research, and strategic workforce solutions. You'll be responsible for creating growth, not simply managing it. That means developing new client relationships, expanding existing partnerships, leading delivery teams, and creating exceptional client experiences that generate long-term business value. Think of it as running your own consulting and talent solutions business inside ours. You'll be expected to: Develop new business opportunities and strategic client partnerships Grow and expand existing client relationships Lead recruiting, research, and delivery teams Drive revenue growth and profitability Create exceptional client and candidate experiences Build a high-performing team and culture Identify market opportunities and create solutions that drive business results The impact you create will be measured by: The clients you win The clients you retain The team you build The revenue you generate The business you create
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
Real ownership means real accountability. You'll own: New business development and revenue generation Client retention, expansion, and strategic partnerships Contribution margin and profitability Team leadership, coaching, and development Recruiting and delivery execution Operational excellence and continuous improvement Market growth opportunities Overall business unit performance This is not a sales role. This is not a recruiting role. This is not an operations role. It's a business leadership role. You'll be expected to understand all three and lead them effectively. This isn't a role where decisions disappear into layers of bureaucracy. You'll have visibility. You'll have influence. You'll have accountability. And you'll have the opportunity to directly impact the future of the business.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Most organizations limit your impact to the role you were hired to perform. We don't. As the business you build grows, your opportunities grow with it. We believe leaders should be measured the same way successful businesses are measured: Revenue Growth Contribution Margin Client Retention Client Satisfaction Team Development Operational Excellence Clear scoreboards. Transparent expectations. Performance-driven rewards.
WHO THRIVES HERE
This role is ideal for someone who: Has experience in recruiting, executive search, staffing, consulting, professional services, or business development Has personally sold and delivered talent solutions Understands how to build client relationships and grow revenue Enjoys leading teams and developing people Thinks commercially and understands business performance Wants more than individual production Thrives in environments with autonomy and accountability Sees opportunity where others see obstacles Is motivated by ownership, growth, and impact Wants a pathway to senior leadership based on performance, not politics This is probably not the right fit if you're looking for a role where success is defined by activity rather than results.
THE BOTTOM LINE
If you've ever thought: "I could build something great if I had the opportunity." This is that opportunity. We're not looking for someone to maintain the status quo. We're looking for someone to build.
