Corporate Development Manager

About this role

About Dwelly Dwelly is building the AI operating system for residential lettings. Its growing network of agencies provides its AI with real-world data, continuous feedback, and control over complete workflows, making exceptional service the standard for landlords and tenants. Today, Dwelly operates more than 15,000 properties and $470 million in GMV, making it one of the UK’s ten largest lettings operators. The company has raised $263 million.

We’re a fast-growing, product-focused company, backed by top-tier investors and led by a team with deep experience in real estate, technology, and operations. Position summary We’re looking for an Corporate Development Manager. You’ll sit at the heart of Dwelly’s growth engine, supporting both acquisitions and fundraising. We’re a high-velocity roll-up, running multiple deals at once and supporting fundraising in parallel - so you’ll have a steep learning curve with real ownership.

This isn’t corporate M&A: we bring a startup mindset, iterate constantly, and give people room to shape the process. You’ll own the analytical heavy lifting across deals and fundraising, pressure-test investment cases, and help build our equity story, working closely with the Head of Corp Dev, Head of M&A, and the Founders. This is a high-impact role with a front-row seat to building one of the UK’s most ambitious proptech platforms.

Key responsibilities 1. Power the acquisition engine You’ll own the analytical workstream on each deal end-to-end, from first assessment of strategic fit through diligence and approval. You’ll keep the “does this help us scale in the right way?” question front and centre, helping us stay focused on the right opportunities and building repeatable analytical approaches that let us scale deal volume without reducing quality.

2. Build the investment case You’ll bring together the financial analysis, diligence findings, and commercial context behind each deal to form a clear investment view. Your role is to help us understand what we’re buying, what drives value, where the risks sit, and whether a deal should progress - then translate that into concise recommendations and clear handover points for integration. 3. Fundraising & investor readiness Alongside deals, you’ll support fundraising: prepping for investor meetings, owning models / analysis, and helping to sharpen how we tell the story of Dwelly - what we’re building, why we’ll win, and how capital accelerates growth Qualifications and preferred background Strong communication skills and fluency in English.
