About the Team

The Transformation team is a newly created group positioned to work directly alongside executive leadership and across all areas of the business. Acting as the bridge between strategic planning and high-impact execution, the team is dedicated to driving key corporate strategy and transformational initiatives that shape the future of our organization.

About the Role

As a Strategy & Transformation Analyst, your primary responsibility will be to drive corporate strategy, evaluate market opportunities, and support M&A execution.

• Serve as a strategic partner to business leaders on critical topics including product strategies, market entry, competitive positioning, operational improvement, and customer opportunity capture.

• Create complex financial models to evaluate strategic scenarios and conduct valuation analyses using DCF, comparable companies, precedent transactions, and sum-of-the-parts methodologies.

• Evaluate potential targets, partners, and investments while helping prepare deal materials (teasers, info memos, management presentations, term sheets).

• Support due diligence by coordinating with cross-functional teams to identify risks and opportunities.

• Conduct market research and competitive analysis to assess industry trends, track deal activity, and evaluate the financial performance of peer companies and adjacent sectors.

• Synthesize complex findings into executive-ready PowerPoint decks and presentation materials for strategic discussions with executive leadership and the Board.

• Support the development and maintenance of Rapid7's annual and long-range strategic plans, helping align company priorities with market opportunities.

The skills and qualities you'll bring include

• Bring 1.5–3+ years of investment banking, corporate development, or corporate strategy experience with a heavily quantitative background.

• Demonstrate proven ability to build financial models from scratch and apply core valuation methodologies (DCF, comps, precedents) to evaluate corporate strategy bets and M&A opportunities.

• Possess exceptional writing and presentation skills, with a track record of translating complex analyses into concise, executive-ready presentations to foster commitment from stakeholders.

• Hold strong familiarity with M&A execution processes, due diligence, deal documentation, and competitive landscape analysis.

• Demonstrate a deep interest in enterprise technology, SaaS metrics, deal activity, and how tech companies scale and transform.

• Manage multiple parallel work streams independently by establishing ownership, clear expectations, and holding self and others responsible for driving outcomes.

• Build a global network and work across boundaries with cross-functional business leaders to deliver sustainable improvements that create business and customer value.

• Apply a strong understanding of self to adapt to group dynamics, leverage agility, and navigate complex strategic scenarios.

• Embody our core values to foster a culture of excellence that drives meaningful impact and collective success.
