VP of Finance & Corporate Development The Role

The VP of Finance & Corporate Development is a high-impact, execution-oriented leader who will shape Linktree's financial strategy while building the operational excellence of our finance function. Reporting to the COO, you will be a key member of the senior leadership team, partnering closely with the CEO, COO, and executive team to enable sound decision-making, disciplined investment, and sustainable growth.

You bring deep expertise in strategic finance and corporate development, a strong grasp of SaaS and consumer internet business models, and the leadership ability to develop and scale a talented team. You are energized by building – systems, processes, and businesses – and you operate with both analytical rigor and practical judgment.

You balance executive presence with humility, and are just as energised by improving a forecasting process or coaching a team member as you are by presenting to the Board.
