Introduction

The tech sector is evolving from “growth at all costs” to “sustainable scale.” As capital becomes more selective, and IPOs are delayed, companies are investing in strategic hires—especially in finance, M&A, and corporate development.

• What’s changing: Finance teams are playing a bigger role in shaping pricing, expansion, and funding strategy.
• Demand profiles: Heads of M&A, Director of Corp Dev, FP&A with modelling and SaaS metrics, investor relations leads.
• Biggest challenge: Competition from Big Tech, PE-backed scaleups, and global funds—all vying for the same hybrid talent.
• Our advantage: We’ve placed CFOs into Series B–E firms, built corp dev teams for unicorns, and understand how to present opportunities that appeal to tech-savvy, growth-focused candidates.
