Our Healthcare Group (HCG) is seeking a Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Analyst to work closely with HCG’s Senior Management team in continuing the company’s successful M&A activity. Reporting initially to the VP M&A, this position will play a key role in identifying, evaluating, and closing acquisition opportunities.

The ideal candidate is inherently curious, has mature interpersonal skills and has meticulous attention-to-detail. Prior M&A experience is an asset. Knowledge of software is also an asset. 

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to learn and gain M&A experience or is playing a critical role in a hierarchical M&A organization but wants the opportunity to lead acquisition processes from start to finish.  You will join a prolific acquirer inside the highly successful acquisition culture of Constellation Software.

The preference is for a candidate in Niagara Falls, NY, Denver, CO, or Ottawa, ON (where our senior leaders are located) however very strong remote candidates across North America will be considered.

What your impact will be:

M&A Execution

• After learning our business model and processes, you will lead acquisition transactions from initial evaluation through to integration handoff
