  • Track record of being part of a successful scale-up, fundraising journey, or exit
  • Strong hands-on execution capability combined with strategic thinking
  • Experience creating category positioning and early traction from scratch
  • Comfortable operating in small, fast-moving, ambiguous environments without structure
  • International outlook and ability to work in a remote, distributed setup
