• Win significant new enterprise customers and strategic partnerships across financial services
• Grow existing customer relationships and create long-term value through expansion and retention
• Lead critical enterprise opportunities, negotiations, and executive-level relationships personally
• Drive expansion into European markets and new customer segments
• Bring customer and market insight into product strategy and company-wide planning
• Own commercial planning, forecasting, and revenue performance
• Build the organisation's reputation and influence within the wealth and investment industry

What We're Looking For

• Significant senior commercial leadership experience in financial services, particularly investment platforms, wealth management, financial advice, or banking
• Proven track record building and delivering commercial strategies that generate substantial, sustainable growth
• Experience winning major new customers and developing strategic relationships over the long term
• Comfortable personally leading complex enterprise sales cycles, negotiations, and senior stakeholder relationships
• Strong understanding of commercialising technology-led products and translating complex capability into customer value
• Experienced people leader who builds strong teams, develops future leaders, and creates high-performing cultures
• Strong commercial and financial judgement with experience operating in regulated environments
• Curiosity about how emerging technology, including AI, can create new commercial opportunities
• Hands-on leadership style—willing to stay close to the work and get involved when it matters
• Collaborative approach, working across functions rather than operating in a silo
• Ability to make sound decisions with imperfect information and adapt quickly in a growth environment
