Requirements
* Significant experience across strategy, commercial and analytical roles — ideally a blend of top-tier consulting and lived in‑house experience. Pure consulting backgrounds without any operating experience will not be a fit

* Strong track record of leading strategy work end‑to‑end: framing the question, doing the analysis, building the recommendation and driving it to action
* Highly analytical, with confident command of financial modelling, pricing frameworks and commercial performance analysis
* Exceptional written and verbal communication — able to produce board‑quality memos and presentations, and present credibly to senior leaders
* Experience working cross‑functionally with Product, Marketing and Compliance to drive outcomes
* Comfortable with ambiguity, able to make pragmatic decisions and pivot quickly as priorities shift
* Experience leading or coaching a small team
* (Desirable) Experience in fintech, financial services or another regulated, data‑led consumer business
* (Desirable) Exposure to technology or platform businesses where product and commercial decisions are tightly coupled
* (Desirable) Familiarity with retail trading or investment products
