Corporate Analyst II

About the role

Lilac is looking for a versatile Analyst II to join our team. Reporting to the Director, Corporate Development & Strategy, you’ll support the delivery of strategic initiatives and commercial transactions. This is a step above an entry-level Analyst role: you’ll be trusted to take a first pass at structuring and analyzing problems and, over time, take increasing end-to-end ownership of key workstreams. This is a high-visibility, cross-functional role where you’ll gain exposure to senior leadership, the Board, investors, and external advisors.

This is a unique opportunity to join a high-growth, venture-backed start-up as we scale groundbreaking technology from the lab to commercial deployment. We’re looking for a structured thinker who drives outcomes, communicates clearly, and takes pride in producing high-quality work. You should be eager to learn and accelerate your development by taking on new challenges and increasing responsibility.

What you'll do

• Conduct market, industry, & competitor research; synthesize findings into actionable insights for leadership

• Develop investor presentations and other materials supporting financing activities and investor engagement

• Build, maintain, and analyze financial models to support project evaluation, financing decisions, and strategic initiatives

• Manage and maintain virtual data rooms for financing, investor, and other diligence processes, including coordinating information requests and ensuring materials are complete and well organized

• Prepare high-quality presentations for senior management and Board meetings

• Support ad hoc, high-priority strategic analysis for senior leadership to solve complex business problems

• Work cross-functionally to gather inputs, build relationships, and help drive workstreams forward

• Identify gaps, risks, or inconsistencies in analysis or materials proactively, and recommend solutions rather than simply flagging issues

• Contribute to process improvements for recurring workstreams (e.g., board reporting, data room management, model templates) to increase efficiency over time

Qualifications

• 2–5 years of relevant professional experience in a highly analytical environment

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to structure complex or ambiguous problems

• Quantitatively minded and comfortable working with data and financial information

• Strong PowerPoint and presentation development skills

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex analysis

• High attention to detail and a track record of producing polished, executive-ready work

• Highly organized, coachable, and willing to learn; comfortable managing multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment with evolving priorities

• Demonstrated ability to work with greater independence, exercising sound judgment on when to escalate versus resolve issues directly

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in mining, oil & gas, investment banking, management consulting, or another relevant industry

• Experience building and analyzing financial models

• Master's degree in business, finance, engineering, or other relevant subject
