  • While formal Business Development or Sales experience is not mandatory, you should be someone who enjoys networking and sharing our narrative with both new and existing connections, and who appreciates the satisfaction of securing a new client who will receive excellent service
  • Proven experience as a strategic leader, comfortable acting as the trusted advisor to the CEO
  • Extensive experience in developing financial forecasts and cash flow models
  • Significant background in raising capital within the venture capital landscape
  • A passion for dynamic leadership within the finance and accounting domain
