About the Role

As Managing Director, you will take full operational ownership of a stable and profitable tech venture. You’ll step into a high-trust, hands-on leadership role, working closely with the founder during a structured handover. With a strong product, a capable team, and a healthy balance sheet in place, your mission is to professionalise internal operations, strengthen commercial outcomes, and drive long-term growth. This is a rare opportunity to lead a well-positioned company toward even greater market success.

• Lead daily operations across all departments, ensuring strategic alignment and operational excellence.
• Oversee and professionalise internal systems, financial reporting, and communications to support scalability and due diligence readiness.
• Act as the primary point of contact for investors, providing transparent updates and structured insights.
• Manage and develop a cross-functional team including engineering, business development, and marketing talent.
• Take ownership of the product roadmap over time, working initially alongside the founder to ensure a smooth leadership transition.
• Optimise existing revenue channels, particularly affiliate and advertising partnerships, while exploring new commercial opportunities.
• Coordinate marketing initiatives with external partners and freelancers to support brand and growth goals.
• Develop and execute strategies for geographic and market expansion.

Requirements

• Financially literate with strong forecasting and data analysis capabilities
• Previous experience managing small teams in cross-functional roles
• Deep understanding of early-stage or lean startup environments—especially in consumer tech, affiliate, or marketplace models

• Strategic yet operationally hands-on—able to build systems while also executing them
• Proven ability to communicate effectively with investors, boards, and executive stakeholders
• Confident working with technology and product teams; able to engage meaningfully on roadmaps and features
• Self-motivated, structured, and pragmatic—comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
