Job description

A fast-growing, founder-led venture with strong early momentum is seeking a commercially sharp, operationally strong leader to help drive its next phase of growth.

With a high-performing team in place and a product gaining real market traction, the business is now entering a pivotal stage. As the founder shifts focus toward product and innovation, they're looking for a trusted operator to step into a senior leadership role - someone who can take full ownership of day-to-day execution and lead commercial strategy with pace and precision.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a broad and influential leadership role at a high-growth company. You'll work side-by-side with the founder and senior team to shape commercial strategy, streamline operations, and build a scalable, resilient business.

Expect to wear multiple hats - from refining go-to-market plans to embedding operational best practices and leading a small, ambitious team.

YOU?

We're looking for a commercially minded generalist with:

• Senior-level experience in a start-up or fast-moving SME
• A strong track record of driving revenue and leading across sales, partnerships, and marketing
• Operational depth - confident building processes, managing performance, and navigating complexity
• Leadership capability - someone people trust, follow, and are energised by
• Comfort with ambiguity and a builder's mindset
• Availability to be in Central London 3 days per week

Why?

• Step into a leadership role with autonomy and real influence
• Join a company with momentum, backing, and purpose
• Work directly with an inspiring founder and high-calibre team
• Receive meaningful equity alongside a competitive salary
• Help shape the future of a fast-growing, mission-driven business
