VP, Corporate Development

Back to jobs VP, Corporate Development Vancouver, BC, Canada Apply The Opportunity The dental software market is a mess. There are niche tools for scheduling, imaging, practice management, AI - but nobody's unified the stack. We think EviSmart can be the platform that brings it all together through smart acquisitions and strategic partnerships. We've built the core workflow platform connecting dental labs, dentists, and design centers. Now we need to accelerate by buying complementary software capabilities and partnering with the players who control key parts of the dental tech ecosystem. Your job: figure out what we should build, what we should buy, and what we should partner for. Then go execute What This Role Actually Is This is a player-coach role. You'll source opportunities, evaluate whether the technology actually fits, negotiate terms, and drive integration afterward. You'll work closely with our VP Product on build vs. buy decisions and with the CTO on technical due diligence. You'll report to the CEO and work with VP Product, CTO/GM, and VP Finance What You'll Be Doing Software M&A: Find acquisition targets - niche dental software tools, AI/ML capabilities, workflow automation assets Evaluate build vs. buy decisions with VP Product and CTO - what actually accelerates our roadmap? Lead deal structuring: valuation, terms, earnouts, tech integration planning Coordinate technical due diligence - code quality, architecture fit, how complex is the integration really going to be Own the post-acquisition technology integration working with our engineering teams Strategic partnerships: Scanner portal partnerships - deeper integrations, data sharing, maybe some co-development Lab management system partnerships - API integrations, referral relationships, joint go-to-market Practice management software integrations - connecting the dentist-to-lab workflow AI/ML partnerships - figure out what capabilities we should license vs. acquire vs. just build ourselves Build the ecosystem: DSO partnerships - position EviSmart as the workflow backbone for Dental Service Organizations Distribution partnerships - lab buying groups, industry associations Technology alliances - become the partner of choice for dental software vendors Market intelligence: Map the dental software landscape - who does what, who's winning, who's struggling Track emerging tech - AI imaging, automated design, cloud-based workflows Build relationships for deal flow - founders, investors, advisors in dental tech What You Need Requirements: 8+ years in corporate development, M&A, or strategic partnerships - ideally in software/SaaS You've actually closed software acquisitions or significant technology partnerships You can evaluate technology - you understand APIs, integration complexity, technical due diligence (you don't need to code, but you need to know what questions to ask) Financial modeling skills - can build and evaluate deal economics on your own Relationship builder - comfortable working with founders, VCs, and technology executives Nice to have: Healthcare or dental software experience Product management or engineering background - helps a lot when evaluating technical fit Network in the dental technology ecosystem Experience with post-merger technology integration Why This Matters We have the workflow layer. Now we need to expand capabilities through smart M&A and partnerships. That's the platform opportunity. The dental software market is fragmented and ripe for consolidation. The pieces exist - someone just needs to bring them together strategically. You'll work directly with leadership on strategic decisions. No layers, no bureaucracy. If you've been stuck in a corporate development role where everything takes six months and three committee approvals, this will feel different.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense. An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985. Veteran Status Select... Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305 Page 1 of 1 OMB Control Number 1250-0005 Expires 04/30/2026 Why are you being asked to complete this form? We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years. Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
