Job description

iGii is a Scottish deep tech company pioneering Gii – a proprietary, pure 3D carbon nanomaterial that is redefining the future of electrochemical sensing. From their headquarters in Stirling, iGii are building the next generation of diagnostic and sensing platforms – ultra-sensitive, sustainable, handheld and capable of detecting multiple analytes simultaneously.

Gii-enabled platforms unlock new frontiers across diagnostics, food safety, environmental monitoring, veterinary health and other multi-billion dollar categories. Poised to transform entire industries, delivering exceptional performance without the complexity or cost of traditional systems.

Backed by top-tier investors and operating with commercial urgency, iGii has developed a breakthrough sensing platform with the potential to transform point-of-care testing globally. With a new U.S. hub planned post-Series B and an expanding global footprint, the company is significantly scaling both capability and leadership.

Building a business of real substance, with commercial traction, scientific credibility, and operational scale, iGii has the potential to become one of Scotland’s defining technology success stories.

The opportunity

We are seeking a Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) to lead iGii’s commercial strategy, drive revenue and unlock the full market potential of their technology. This is not a conventional product sales role. Not selling finished goods – they are selling possibility: the chance for customers to build category-defining products enabled by Gii.

The CCO will be a member of the executive team and a central figure in shaping iGii’s trajectory – working alongside the CEO, CSO, COO and CFO to build and execute the commercial engine that drives adoption, accelerates platform exits and supports strategic inflection points, including M&A.

What success looks like

• iGii’s commercial story becomes clear, compelling and irresistible to strategic partners.
• Gii-powered platforms are adopted by Tier 1 industry leaders through co-development agreements.
• Revenue growth tracks closely with strategic value creation – not just near-term sales.
• The sales team becomes a high-performance unit aligned with platform growth, not transactional wins.
• The CCO is recognised as a thought leader in our space – respected in the market, present with customers and trusted by our board.

Key responsibilities

• Lead and scale iGii’s global commercial function, inheriting a team of Sales Directors across North America, UK and Europe.
• Drive strategic revenue through category-creating, trust-based sales cycles where vision, data and belief precede product.
• Translate complex science into market-shaping narratives that create belief, urgency and commercial traction.
• Build Tier 1 relationships, navigating long-cycle enterprise pathways with knowledge of internal gates and decision-making processes.
• Partner cross-functionally – particularly with Science, Product and Ops – to ensure the commercial voice informs the roadmap, not just follows it.
• Represent iGii externally – with customers, at industry events and in investor and board settings.
• Coach and elevate the existing team – including Sales Directors, Commercial Operations and Marketing – bringing out their best while identifying future capability needs as we scale.

About you

• You are a visionary commercial leader who has sold high-stakes, science-led, platform technologies before.
• You understand the commercial arc from proof of concept to platform adoption to corporate acquisition and have lived it.
• You are credible in deep tech environments, fluent in the language of scientists and engineers and able to turn complexity into clarity.
• You’ve worked with Tier 1 customers, understand the internal politics, decision making and approval processes and know how to build the relationships that matter.
• You thrive in growth environments: messy, fast-paced and full of possibility.
• You are energised by the challenge of commercialising something that’s never been sold before – and of building belief where no roadmap exists yet.
• You love being out in the world – forging deals, shaping partnerships, unlocking opportunity – and you know how to balance that with boardroom rigour.

What we offer

• A seat at the executive table of one of the UK’s most ambitious deep tech scale up companies.
• The chance to shape and lead a commercial function from high-potential to high-performance.
• The opportunity to define markets, not just compete in them and to help bring a category-defining material to life.
• A world-class science team, clear product roadmap and strong investor backing.
• A governance model that combines strategic clarity, structured execution and room to lead.
• A global footprint in development, with planned expansion into the U.S. following Series B.
