The incoming Chief Growth Officer will come from a strong sales and marketing background — someone who can build pipeline and build brand in equal measure.

With a strong reputation, loyal client base, recurring revenues, and ambitious expansion plans, the business is entering its next chapter — scaling market share, accelerating revenue, and preparing for a future liquidity event.

This is more than a functional leadership role. It is a genuine route to Managing Director within 6–12 months for the right individual.

This role is best suited to an ambitious commercial leader with a sales and marketing background who has already delivered strong results in enterprise technology, software, SaaS, or digital services — and is now ready to step into a broader executive leadership position.
