How do I get a job in Corp Development/strategy/strategic finance from my current role at a small cap value HF

Long-story short, I really want to get out of my current role into something less stressful but still interesting such as corporate development. My background is I graduated from an Ivy League school, got recruited to a small cap value hedge fund, and I've been here for 2 years now after graduating. My modeling skills is decent (small cap companies are not exactly hard to model because they're so simple), so I'm not very confident there. It's a generalist fund, so I'm not exactly an industry expert at anything. I'm not sure I have the right skillset, to be honest. Can some one guide me to the right direction? Not sure who I can reach out to, what do I do if I don't have deep industry knowledge, etc.? Thanks in advance.
