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.
