About the Company:
The business is a fast-growing, New Zealand-born technology scale-up operating a two-sided marketplace with international reach. It has built a strong reputation for delivering value at scale through a compelling digital platform, smart commercial execution and a deep understanding of customer behaviour. With operations across multiple offshore markets and a growing team of circa 80 people, the company has successfully moved beyond start-up phase and is now firmly in scale-up mode.
Having established product-market fit and strong momentum, the organisation is now focused on accelerating growth, scaling its platform and building the capability required for long-term success. This next chapter will see increased investment in data, technology, go-to-market execution and leadership capability, as the business prepares for future growth opportunities and potential capital events.
About the Role:
Reporting to the Board, the CEO will lead the business through its next phase of scale, international growth and future value-creation events, taking over day-to-day leadership from the founder. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role requiring strong commercial instinct, operational discipline and the ability to move the organisation faster while maintaining focus on the metrics that matter. The CEO will also act as the external face of the business with partners, investors and key stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities
- Set and execute the company’s long-term strategy, growth roadmap and value-creation agenda
- Own overall commercial performance, including revenue growth, go-to-market execution and platform adoption
- Lead international expansion and scaling of the platform and operating model
- Hold full accountability for P&L, cash flow, forecasting and financial discipline
- Lead investor engagement, capital raising and preparation for future liquidity events
- Embed a metrics-driven, high-performance culture with clear accountability
- Build, lead and develop a high-performing executive leadership team
- Partner closely with the Board to ensure strong governance, alignment and transparency
