Director, Investor Relations & Corporate Development
About the Team
The Finance team, led by our Chief Financial Officer, is building the capabilities Turing needs as it scales toward the public markets: sourcing and closing deals, deploying strategic capital, and telling our story to investors with rigor.
This role reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer and works closely with the CEO and board.
The Role
We are hiring a leader to own inorganic growth and capital markets strategy on the Finance team. You will own M&A end to end, build and run our strategic investment (ventures) activity, and stand up the investor relations and IPO-readiness function. This is a mandate to own a function, not just execute deals, with direct exposure to the CFO, CEO, and board.
Why This Role Matters
Turing is preparing for the public markets. Success in this role will directly shape how Turing grows through acquisitions and strategic investments, how it allocates capital, and how investors understand the business ahead of an IPO.
You will build these functions from the ground up, creating the M&A playbook, ventures program, and investor narrative that Turing will rely on as a public company.
What You Will Own
Investor Relations & IPO Readiness. Build the IR function and narrative: positioning, metrics, and messaging for current and prospective investors. Support financing rounds, cap-table strategy, and board and shareholder communications. Lead IR programs across finance, legal, and operations, and prepare leadership and management for investor scrutiny.
Mergers & Acquisitions. Own the full M&A lifecycle, including strategic investing: thesis and sourcing, valuation and modeling, diligence, negotiation, and close.
M&A Playbook & Pipeline. Build and codify Turing’s M&A playbook and pipeline as a repeatable engine.
Build-Buy-Partner Decisions. Partner with product, engineering, and GTM leaders on build-buy-partner decisions and post-close integration.
Strategic Finance & Planning. Partner with the CFO and Strategic Finance on companywide planning, capital allocation, and 0-to-1 strategic initiatives. Translate market and competitive intelligence into recommendations for the executive team.
Who You Are
A deal leader ready to own a function. You have sourced, led, and closed multiple transactions, and you are ready to step up to owning a full function, including standing up IR and ventures from scratch.
Grounded in banking, private equity, or growth investing. Your foundation is in investment banking, private equity, or growth-stage venture, applied in-house at high-growth technology companies.
Rigorous on valuation and structure. You bring strong financial modeling, valuation, and deal-structuring judgment.
Board-ready. You communicate with executives and the board clearly and credibly.
Minimum Qualifications
10+ years across fundraising and M&A, with investment banking, private equity, or growth-stage venture foundations.
A track record of sourcing and closing multiple M&A transactions at high-growth technology companies.
Direct experience with corporate venture / strategic investing.
Hands-on exposure to IR and IPO readiness, in-house or advising through an IPO process.
Strong financial modeling, valuation, and deal-structuring judgment, paired with executive and board-level communication.
Preferred Qualifications
M&A experience at a company through pre-IPO hyper-growth.
Experience in AI/ML, developer tools, data infrastructure, or marketplaces.
Prior BizOps or strategic-finance seat at a company that scaled through IPO.
Established network across the AI founder, VC, and banking ecosystems.
