Director of Finance

This isn’t your regular job. Almedia is a place where those who want to push harder can accelerate their careers faster than anywhere else. We’re aiming to become Germany’s second bootstrapped unicorn. Almedia is already Europe’s #3 fastest-growing company in 2025 (FT1000).

We are building the future of marketing by rewarding our community of over 80 million users for engaging with our advertisers’ products. We are offering a new way to acquire users for the biggest companies in the world.

At Almedia, you’ll:

• Own way more, way earlier — you’ll be trusted with responsibility fast.

• Push harder, get further — this isn’t a 9–5. We highly reward intensity.

• Join a rare environment — you will work with ambitious high-speed, high-ownership people.

• Fully present — we’re 5 days a week in the office to build the energising momentum we need.

We’re looking for a Director of Finance to accelerate Almedia’s growth by leading strategic finance initiatives, FP&A, capital markets activities, and M&A execution. This is a highly hands-on role for a finance leader who can seamlessly move between high-level strategic planning, complex financial modeling, investor-ready communications, and hands-on deal execution.

This role sits at the intersection of corporate finance strategy, operational FP&A, and transaction execution. You will partner directly with leadership to evaluate build-vs-buy opportunities, build scalable financial frameworks, optimize capital structure, and drive clear, decision-grade analysis across the company.

You won’t just report the numbers — you will be a key partner in shaping Almedia’s financial roadmap, capital strategy, and long-term business growth.

• Lead FP&A and Decision-Grade Analysis: Build, refine, and maintain high-quality financial models, budget frameworks, scenario plans, and benchmarking metrics to guide internal growth decisions.

• Support Capital Markets & External Financing: Lead workstreams for equity and debt financing, preparing materials, financial narratives, and valuation analyses for discussions with external investors and partners.

• Execute M&A and Deal Strategy: Own M&A process execution from opportunity evaluation and diligence to financial impact analysis, valuation frameworks, and internal recommendations.

• Establish Repeatable Finance Processes: Build structured, scalable frameworks for transaction diligence, financial forecasting, and strategic evaluation to empower leadership to act quickly with confidence.

• Operate as a Hands-On Owner: Work directly in the details to build models and presentation decks yourself while independently driving complex strategic workstreams forward.

What You’ll Bring 💡

• Comprehensive Strategic Finance Skill Set: Strong foundation across corporate finance, FP&A, capital markets, valuation, and M&A within a fast-moving, high-growth environment.

• Background in PE, Investment Banking, or High-Growth Finance: Experience in private equity, investment banking, corporate development, or strategic finance in a fast-paced operating company.

• Advanced Financial Modeling Rigor: Proven track record of independently building robust, dynamic financial models, forecasts, and scenario analyses from scratch.

• You bring technical depth from transaction or corporate finance, paired with the flexibility needed in an agile tech environment.
