At AppSumo, we believe work doesn’t have to suck. We love helping entrepreneurs build a lifestyle they’re passionate about. And that includes you.

We’re on a mission to open the doors of entrepreneurship to everyone. You in?

Why this is your dream job:

As the VP of Finance, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our financial future. You'll be at the forefront of strategic decision-making, directly reporting to the CEO and acting as a crucial part of our Executive Leadership team.

  • 7+ years of experience in finance, with a significant portion in a leadership role 
  • Proven expertise in startup and dynamic, fast-paced environments, including founder-led and private companies.
  • Demonstrated success in financial analysis, strategic planning, and corporate finance within a dynamic, growing organization.
  • Possesses keen discernment to effectively identify and manage genuine business risks vs negligible concerns. 
  • Outstanding leadership capabilities, proven in building and mentoring high-performing teams.

  • Open vacation (PTO) policy (plan to make your Slack status a “🌴” at least one week per quarter)

Unique perks to take care of you:

  • Freedom to have a side hustle (we don’t treat that word like it’s Voldemort)
  • Free access to all the software and tools in the AppSumo marketplace
  • An invite to our annual all-expenses-paid company trip (think Costa Rican Resort, not teambuilding at Generic Corporate Venue #84)
  • Flexible hours that let you start late or take that midday power nap
