  • Proven experience – you have enabled delivery of growth in a commercial, business development, strategy, or finance role within a digital-first business. 
  • Financial acumen – you can understand and articulate where profit maximisation opportunities may be found alongside revenue performance, how to measure ROI, and how to derive insights and implications from P&L analysis. 
  • Highly analytical – you have rich experience in market research, data interpretation, financial modeling, and commercial forecasting. 
  • Entrepreneurial – you are proactive and use initiative to find opportunities and forge a path to success, balancing quick wins and business realities with long-term value creation.
