Performance tracking: Define and track the KPIs that matter most to leadership and investors, turning large datasets from across the business into clear insights and recommendations. What Success Looks Like in Your First 6 Months In your first 6 months, you'll be measured on two core outcomes: A restructured investor relations & fundraising framework: You've rebuilt how our client presents itself to investors, establishing a set of key metrics that let investors benchmark our client against comparable growth startups, and a compelling, data-backed growth story for the business. New market expansion, ready for decision: You've completed in-depth research on priority new markets and developed a clear go-to-market strategy for them, backed by a robust financial model that leadership can use to make investment decisions.

A true all-rounder with strong business acumen , equally comfortable building a financial model, crafting an investor narrative and getting stuck into execution.
