Job Description
At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.
This role will be based in San Francisco, CA.
Our LTS (LinkedIn Talent Solutions) Monetization Strategic Finance team is seeking an Associate to partner with LinkedIn’s LTS leaders in shaping GTM finance strategy, monitoring key business metrics, identifying trends, and assessing the financial impact of strategic initiatives. This role will support the LTS Growth and Performance Strategic Finance team — helping to craft both long- and short-term GTM strategy through data-driven insights, managing performance to understand and optimize field growth, and helping Sales and cross-functional teams (PMM, Pricing, GTM Ops) prioritize based on impact sizing.
The role will span three core areas of responsibility:
Reporting and Metric Alignment / Messaging: Drive clarity and consistency across LTS reporting by aligning key metrics, synthesizing trends, and shaping the narrative for leadership updates and strategic reviews
Performance Management: Own reporting and analysis for a portion of the business, delivering weekly projections and actionable insights to help leaders understand drivers of performance and identify opportunities for improvement
Planning and Target Setting: Support annual and ongoing planning cycles through deep dives and side models that help triangulate projections, pressure-test assumptions, and ensure alignment between top-down targets and bottom-up inputs
A strong candidate is equally comfortable and skilled at crafting a thoughtful plan and rolling up their sleeves to get it done. We are looking for someone who excels at driving execution across multiple senior stakeholders, demonstrates strong ownership to dig deep into highly technical and complex areas to drive impact, and is highly analytical with strong business acumen.
