Drive follow-through on key issues affecting business performance.
  • Conduct Financial & Commercial Analysis: Build rigorous analyses including unit economics, contribution margins, pricing, Capex returns, ROI/IRR models, scenario modeling, and customer/product profitability to support decision-making.
  • Organizational Building: Collaborate on organization design, leadership hiring, performance management, role definition, operating cadences, management dashboards, and decision-making processes to support scalable growth.
  • Support Investor & Board Activities: Prepare high-quality materials for investor updates, board meetings, fundraising, financial and operational analyses, strategic presentations, and industry benchmarking.
  • Handle Special Situations: Take ownership of urgent or high-impact issues requiring rapid diagnosis and execution, often involving unstructured problems without existing playbooks.

  • Proficiency with data analysis, dashboards, MIS, and performance metrics.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities independently.
  • Strong financial and commercial understanding, with experience in building business models and conducting financial analysis.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
