Preply, a unicorn edtech platform with 100,000+ tutors teaching 90+ languages globally, is seeking an M&A Senior Manager to build and lead its mergers and acquisitions function from the ground up. Reporting to the COO and working within the Strategy chapter, you will own the complete M&A lifecycle: defining Preply's acquisition strategy and investment thesis, identifying and screening strategic targets, building the deal pipeline, conducting financial modeling and valuation analysis (DCF, accretion/dilution, LBO, P&L impact), executing end-to-end due diligence across financial, commercial, legal, and operational dimensions, coordinating external advisors, and managing cross-functional workstreams across Finance, Legal, Product, and HR. You will develop board-ready strategic recommendations and executive presentations on M&A opportunities to senior leadership.
The ideal candidate brings 7–10 years of hands-on M&A experience either in-house at a tech company or in investment banking/PE, with demonstrated ownership of deal execution from origination through close. You must have expert-level Excel and financial modeling skills, with the ability to build complex valuation models from scratch and defend every assumption. Strong P&L literacy, analytical rigor, and the ability to thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments are essential. Exceptional stakeholder management and the ability to translate complex analyses into clear executive narratives are critical. Prior experience in EdTech, SaaS, or high-growth tech is preferred. Post-merger integration experience is a plus.
