DIRAQ At Diraq, we are building the future of quantum computing, enabling millions of qubits on a single chip. As we scale, strong operating methods, clear accountabilities and reliable management systems are essential to translating strategy into execution. We are looking for a high-calibre Corporate Development Senior Associate to work closely with the Chief of Staff and Senior Leadership Team.

This is a hands-on role focused on analysing how the organisation operates, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and control, and designing practical methods, systems and processes that support sustainable growth. You will review operating arrangements across corporate development, finance and operations, develop evidence-based recommendations, and lead approved improvements from design through implementation. The role also supports disciplined fundraising, investor management and strategic planning through robust data, workflows and analysis.

- Capital-raising framework: Build and maintain a repeatable fundraising playbook covering investor-material templates, diligence workflows, data-room structure and closing checklists, and execute capital raises within that framework, including valuations and share issues.
- Investor engagement standards: Establish the format, cadence and quality standards for investor briefings, updates and stakeholder records, and maintain accurate context across investors, advisors and other key stakeholders.
