Job Description

This role will be based in San Francisco or Sunnyvale.

At LinkedIn, we trust each other to do our best work where it works best for us and our teams. This role offers a hybrid work option, meaning you can both work from home and commute to a LinkedIn office, depending on what’s best for you and when it is important for your team to be together.

This role is part of LinkedIn’s Corporate Development & Strategy team, which partners closely with cross-functional leaders to drive corporate and strategic initiatives, analyze market activity and competitive dynamics, and source, evaluate, execute and integrate M&A and strategic partnership opportunities.

In addition, the Manager will work with key cross-functional partners - leaders from Product, Engineering, Finance and our executive team - and must be comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders.

This role is an excellent opportunity to join a small team that influences long-term company-wide investment initiatives that impact hundreds of millions of professionals worldwide.
