Position Summary: This role is responsible for commercializing selected, capital-intensive growth initiatives by converting prioritized ideas into executed pilots, signed partners, standardized structures, and credible bookings contribution, then handing off scalable offerings to our Product team. The incumbent in this role will work closely with our Chief Financial Officer, Head of Product, direct and indirect sales teams, legal team, technology and operations. The role is driven by our need for a high-ownership operator who can make new bets real and monetizable—with capital discipline—without distracting Product from owning portfolio strategy and scaled offerings. This role is the bridge between “good idea” and “repeatable commercial engine.”
