- Lead talent development, performance management, and organizational capability building to strengthen leadership depth across teams.
- Manage key stakeholder relationships, including clients, vendors, and strategic partners, to support business expansion and operational continuity.
- Drive business development initiatives, including identifying new opportunities, supporting partnerships, and contributing to expansion strategies.
Requirements

- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Management, Finance, or a related field; Master’s degree is highly preferred.
- 5+ years of experience in senior management or operational leadership roles, ideally within marketing, advertising, or digital businesses.
- Strong strategic planning, business development, and organizational leadership capabilities.
- Solid understanding of core business functions including finance, HR, marketing, and operations.
- Experience working with performance metrics, data analysis, and KPI-driven decision-making.
- Strong communication, stakeholder management, and executive reporting skills.
- Ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive organizational change in a dynamic environment.
- Experience in digital transformation, fundraising, or large-scale business expansion is an advantage.
Benefits
- Executive-level compensation package aligned with experience and impact
- Remote-first work flexibility
