The FLEETCOR Corporate Development Team is currently seeking a Vice President (“VP”) of Corporate Venture Capital (“CVC”) to lead early-stage and growth equity globally. In addition to the sourcing, evaluation, and execution of early-stage investments, the VP of CVC will be responsible for other strategic transactions in collaboration with senior business leaders, such as JVs, key commercial partnerships, and other “special”/unique transactions.
