Focus on your transaction experience and how you can lead financial due diligence and other diligence. Any additional modeling experience would be good to note. It’s a seemingly good background for corp dev so should be an easy sell

FDD experience is valuable. you can talk about - managing internal/external stakeholder, managing VDRs, Working with target mgmt on data requests, making direct contribution to the model based on FDD findings. Good luck!
