Senior Analyst- Global Corporate Development

Location: New York (Hybrid)

Office: 2 days a week with team, more optional, and as specific projects require
Travel: Occasional, less than 20%

The Global Corporate Development (GCD) team sits within Wolters Kluwer's Global Strategy group, which reports to the CEO and Chair of the Executive Board, giving the team a direct line of sight to Grouplevel capital allocation and portfolio strategy. The team is a driving force behind the company's inorganic growth strategy, partnering with divisional general managers and senior executives across all five of Wolters Kluwer's global divisions to source, assess, structure, and execute transactions. The culture is collaborative, lowego and highperforming, with a track record of developing talent and promoting from within.

Over the last two years, the GCD team has executed nearly US$2 billion in transactions in both the US and Europe. Deal sizes typically range from US$ ~5M to 500M, creating a dynamic environment where team members can take the lead on smaller transactions while directly contributing to larger, more complex deals. This role provides exceptional visibility to senior leadership within a highly acquisitive organization. Recent acquisitions include Finca Group carveout from Isabel Group, RASi, and Libra.ai.
