This is an opportunity to join the business as it scales as a key member of the leadership providing a basis to have massive impact on the overall success of the company.

• Take a hands-on approach to implementing system improvements
• Attract, retain & develop talent to build high performing teams
• Support day-to-day operations in the business

• Experience taking a hands-on approach to building both processes and high performing teams
• Ability to manage change and major projects
• Commercially astute
• Excellent Leadership skills with demonstrable success of improving performance
• Experience working in a fast-growing scale-up
