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 evaluating strategic targets, conducting financial modeling and valuation analysis, managing due diligence across financial, commercial, legal, and operational dimensions, and coordinating cross-functional execution with Finance, Legal, Product, and HR teams.
Key responsibilities include developing board-ready strategic recommendations, building and managing the acquisition pipeline, leading complex financial analyses (DCF, accretion/dilution, LBO, P&L impact), and driving integration planning. This is a high-impact role working directly with senior leadership on deals that will shape Preply's growth trajectory in the competitive edtech and language-learning space.
You bring 7–10 years of M&A experience from in-house tech roles or investment banking/PE, with demonstrated ownership of deal execution end-to-end. You are expert-level in Excel and financial modeling, with a track record of building complex valuation models and defending assumptions. Strong P&L literacy, analytical rigor, and exceptional stakeholder management are essential. Experience in EdTech, SaaS, or high-growth tech is preferred. You thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and can translate complex analyses into clear executive narratives.
