Why This Role Matters:

We are looking for a Corporate Development & Strategy Manager to play a key role in shaping Ivanti’s growth strategy.

You will contribute to pivotal initiatives that help Ivanti realize its global mission to thrive in the Everywhere Work environment.

About The Team

The Corporate Development and Strategy team is a driving force behind Ivanti’s growth strategy, driving critical initiatives that shape the company’s future in the dynamic technology landscape. By combining data-driven insights, strategic analysis, and cross-functional collaboration, our team identifies and executes opportunities that accelerate business growth through impactful acquisitions and transformative strategic initiatives. With a focus on delivering measurable outcomes, we work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to ensure Ivanti thrives in the Everywhere Work environment.
