Corporate Development Analyst

UFORCE exists to make aggression unaffordable.

Founded in Ukraine and headquartered in London, UFORCE is a defence-technology company with operations across Europe, the United States and Asia.

UFORCE builds uncrewed vessels, ground robotics and aircraft, autonomy software, and the command-and-control layer that operates them together. Each platform is deployable on its own, and stronger as part of the system. Its product lines include the MAGURA family of uncrewed surface vessels, the NEMESIS family of strike platforms, the LIUT family of ground robotic platforms, and counter-UAS systems.

About the Role

We're hiring an M&A / Corporate Development Analyst to join UFORCE's Corporate Development team — the team running strategy, deal execution, M&A sourcing, country builds, fundraising, investor relations, and board reporting across the business. This is an in-house corporate development role at a fast-moving defence startup, not client-facing advisory: you'll provide strong junior-level support across all of the team's workstreams so senior team members can focus on deal execution and strategic decisions.

You'll take a brief and deliver — supporting sector mapping, M&A research and pipeline management, deal and workstream coordination, and investor and board materials — with your output feeding directly into work for senior leadership. This role is based in London. We're not looking for a finished product: we want someone sharp, organized, and genuinely excited about the mission, who we can develop quickly into a core part of the team.

What you will do

• Own sector mapping — research, company profiles, and sourcing within defined sectors — building it into the team's living reference for deal sourcing and investor conversations.

• Surface and assess M&A targets (ownership, revenue, acquirability), and own the pipeline board and target tracker, keeping it updated without prompting.

• Support active acquisitions, joint ventures, and partnerships — coordinating due diligence across legal, finance, and other stakeholders, and organizing company introductions for technical evaluation.

• Own the team's action log and cross-department follow-up, helping run the team's day-to-day operating rhythm.

• Support board deck preparation, investor materials, and quarterly board reporting.

What we're looking for

• Financial modelling — comps, basic DCF, sensitivity analysis.

• Prior M&A, VC, or corporate development exposure.

• Experience coordinating a data room or multi-party workstream.

• Independent research and sourcing skills — can find real companies, structure a landscape, and assess opportunities across multiple sectors without being directed.

• Strong ownership and organization — tracks what's in flight, follows up proactively, and flags blockers before they become problems.

• Cross-department coordination experience — comfortable keeping legal, finance, technical, and other stakeholders aligned on behalf of a team.

• Direct, plain communication — writes and speaks clearly, and delivers real conclusions rather than hedged or consulting-style language.

• Genuine interest in the company's mission, not just the role.

• Around 1 year into your career — junior enough to want to own execution work, experienced enough to operate without handholding.

The nature of combat has changed.

Tomorrow’s battlefield success depends on autonomy, speed, and adaptability.

And UFORCE is ready.
