Role Overview:

We are partnering with a high-growth, consumer-facing business that is at an exciting stage of its growth journey. The company is looking to appoint a dynamic Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who can take ownership of the business and work closely with the founders and leadership team to drive the next phase of growth.

This is an opportunity for a high-calibre professional who combines strong problem-solving and strategic thinking with hands-on execution, and is looking to take on a significant business leadership mandate relatively early in their career. The CEO will have end-to-end responsibility for driving business performance, developing the growth strategy, strengthening operations and building a high-performing organisation.

Key Responsibilities:

- Own the overall business P&L and drive sustainable revenue and profitability growth.

- Develop and execute the company's short-term and long-term growth strategy.

- Identify new growth opportunities across customers, channels, geographies and business segments.

- Drive operational excellence across the organisation and establish clear performance metrics.

- Work closely with functional leaders across sales, marketing, operations, finance, HR and other key functions.

- Build a strong performance-oriented culture and develop the next level of leadership.

- Use data, consumer insights and market intelligence to drive business decisions.

- Partner with founders/board on strategic initiatives, business planning and organisational priorities.

- Evaluate and implement initiatives that improve customer experience, efficiency and profitability.

- Represent the organisation with key external stakeholders, partners and other ecosystem participants.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

- We are looking for high-potential business leaders rather than highly tenured CEOs.

- 7 - 9 years of overall professional experience.

- MBA from a top-tier B-School.

- Candidates with 2 - 4 years of experience in a leading strategy/management consulting firm, ideally with at least one promotion, will be strongly preferred.

- Should have demonstrated progression and increasing responsibility within their career.

- Candidates from healthcare, consumer businesses, QSR/restaurant chains or other scaled consumer-facing businesses can be considered.

- Strong candidates from consulting who have worked extensively on growth strategy, P&L, operations, transformation or market expansion will also be relevant.
