Strategic Finance Manager

Course Hero, Inc. is now Learneo! 

Learneo is a platform of builder-driven businesses, including Course Hero, CliffsNotes, LitCharts, Quillbot, Symbolab, Scribbr, and LanguageTool, all united around a shared mission of supercharging productivity and learning for everyone. We attract and scale high growth businesses from around the world, built and run by visionary entrepreneurs (we currently have teams based in the US, Canada, India, Israel, and the EU). Each team innovates independently but has a unique opportunity to collaborate, experiment, and grow together, and they are supported by centralized corporate operations functions, including HR, Finance, and Legal. 

As Learneo continues to scale, it is imperative that we have the infrastructure in place to help us make the most informed and strategic decisions regarding our corporate development and capital allocation decisions. As such, we are expanding the capabilities of our Strategic Finance function and are excited to add a seasoned Manager to the team. The Strategic Finance Manager will report to the Sr. Director of Strategic Finance and work closely with leaders from across Learneo and the various business lines, conducting in-depth financial and valuation analyses and providing valuable insight into acquisition and investment opportunities. This is a highly impactful and visible role within the company, and requires someone whose interpersonal skills are just as strong as their analytical abilities. 

While we are a hyper-growth tech company, we are also mission-driven and strive to create an environment where our team members can be their authentic selves, do their best work, and help us deliver on our mission of supercharging productivity and learning for everyone. Come join us!
