• Total Addressable Market (TAM) sizing and market structure analysis
• Revenue, cross‑sell, and synergy hypothesis development (in close partnership with Finance)
• High‑level scenario framing to support investment decisions
• Translate ambiguous strategic ideas into structured, decision‑ready insights for senior leadership.

• Support opportunity shaping across diverse strategic themes, including:
• Hyperscaler and cloud ecosystem business development
• On‑prem to cloud partnership strategies
• Emerging platform, data, and technology adjacencies
• Maintain a portfolio‑level view of opportunities, supporting funnel visibility, prioritization, and leadership updates.

• Project‑manage the diligence process, coordinating across Corporate Development, Finance, Legal, Product, and external advisors.
• Own diligence planning, workplans, timelines, dependency tracking, and issue escalation to keep deals moving efficiently.
• Partner closely with Finance and external audit/advisory firms, who will lead detailed financial analysis and provide formal financial opinions, while ensuring inputs are aligned and decisions stay on track.
• Act as the central point of orchestration across workstreams, ensuring clarity of roles, decision rights, and next steps.
• Clearly distinguish between exploratory assessment and active diligence, while maintaining continuity of ownership across the deal lifecycle.
• Enable efficient execution without repeatedly disrupting core operating teams.
• Support leadership through final decision‑making and transaction close, with readiness for downstream integration ownership.
