UFORCE is a defence-technology company founded in Ukraine and headquartered in London, with operations across Europe, the United States, and Asia. The company builds uncrewed vessels, ground robotics and aircraft, autonomy software, and command-and-control systems. Product lines include the MAGURA family of uncrewed surface vessels, NEMESIS strike platforms, LIUT ground robotic platforms, and counter-UAS systems.
You will join the Corporate Development team as an M&A / Corporate Development Analyst, providing junior-level support across strategy, deal execution, M&A sourcing, country builds, fundraising, investor relations, and board reporting. This is an in-house role at a fast-moving defence startup, not client-facing advisory work.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own sector mapping through research, company profiles, and sourcing within defined sectors, building a living reference for deal sourcing and investor conversations
- Surface and assess M&A targets (ownership, revenue, acquirability), manage the pipeline board and target tracker, keeping it updated proactively
- Support active acquisitions, joint ventures, and partnerships by coordinating due diligence across legal, finance, and other stakeholders, and organizing company introductions for technical evaluation
- Own the team's action log and cross-department follow-up, helping run the team's day-to-day operating rhythm
- Support board deck preparation, investor materials, and quarterly board reporting
You will take briefs and deliver outputs that feed directly into work for senior leadership. The role requires strong organizational skills, independent judgment, and genuine excitement about the mission.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Financial modelling experience: comps, basic DCF, sensitivity analysis
- Prior M&A, VC, or corporate development exposure
- Experience coordinating a data room or multi-party workstream
- Independent research and sourcing skills — ability to find real companies, structure a landscape, and assess opportunities across multiple sectors without being directed
- Strong ownership and organization — tracks what's in flight, follows up proactively, flags blockers before they become problems
- Cross-department coordination experience — comfortable keeping legal, finance, technical, and other stakeholders aligned
- Direct, plain communication — writes and speaks clearly, delivers real conclusions rather than hedged or consulting-style language
- Genuine interest in the company's mission
- Approximately 1 year into your career — junior enough to own execution work, experienced enough to operate without handholding
