Corporate Development Manager

At Cook, there are common themes across every medical specialty we support: patients want to get better and doctors want simpler, more effective options. That’s why we work hard to improve our minimally invasive medical devices and the way they’re delivered to hospitals and doctors around the world. Being a family-owned business allows us to do what’s best for the patient. It gives us the freedom to work through a problem for as long as it takes to find the simplest solution.

The Corporate Development Manager will work within cross-functional teams on acquisition, investment, distribution, and divestiture opportunities, supporting negotiation, due diligence, and integration activities. The individual will collaborate across functional and regional boundaries to deliver solutions that grow long term-revenue and advance the strategic goals of Cook Medical. This individual can maintain a hybrid schedule in West Lafayette, Indiana; or work remotely outside of Indiana.
