SoundHound AI believes every person should be able to interact naturally with the products around them–by simply talking. With a global reach spanning two dozen languages, we build Voice AI products with conversational intelligence for cars, restaurant ordering, and more, allowing our customers to extend their brand in new and meaningful ways.

The Strategy & Corporate Development team is responsible for developing our long-term corporate strategy and executing transactions that are crucial for achieving our strategic objectives. The Manager of Strategy & Corporate Development role will play an integral role in supporting SoundHound’s ongoing strategy and M&A efforts, while also interacting with and supporting many cross-functional teams across the Company. This is a high-visibility role that will report to the Head of Strategy & Corporate Development and will regularly work closely with our executive leadership team (ELT) on critical strategic initiatives.

In this role, you will:

  • Support the execution of mergers & acquisition and strategic investments across all stages of the deal process, including sourcing, strategic rationale, financial analysis, diligence, and deal documentation
  • Work closely with internal business and functional leaders, target management teams, and third-party advisors to ensure seamless and timely deal execution
  • Support post-merger integration efforts, deal economics tracking, and the continuous monitoring and optimization of portfolio companies
  • Contribute to the development of SoundHound’s M&A capability, including building and enhancing relationships with third-party advisors, creating a standardized M&A ‘playbook’, and developing POVs on the various verticals within the Conversational AI landscape
  • Support our ongoing strategic planning process, working with business and functional leaders to set strategic objectives and track performance
  • Run analysis and build content to support a variety of strategy and M&A work streams, including (but not limited to) board and executive meeting presentations, corporate planning activities, competitive analysis briefs/reports, deal performance reports, and other high-visibility materials for ELT members

We would love to hear from you if you have:

  • 2-4 years of experience and a strong record of accomplishment in top-tier strategy consulting, investment banking, growth and/or private equity
  • Top-tier problem-solving skills, quantitative skills, and business acumen
  • Exceptional ability to concisely and persuasively communicate complex/ambiguous concepts to executive-level stakeholders both in-person and written
  • Experience building advanced financial models or data analyses
  • Familiarity with financial statements and concepts and an understanding of basic accounting principles
  • A proactive, “roll up your sleeves” mindset
  • Demonstrable interest in AI or leading-edge technologies
  • At least a Bachelor’s degree

We’d be especially excited if you have experience at a leading strategy consulting firm like McKinsey, Bain, or BCG and have proven experience working with or at artificial intelligence companies.
