  • Negotiate with vendors and partners to improve commercial terms.

  • Track and report on the P&L impact of active projects, holding teams accountable to targets.

What you'll need

  • 3-6 years of experience as an entrepreneur in a VC backed company, a top tier management consulting firm (BCG, Bain, McKinsey), or in a top tier investment bank (bulge bracket)

  • Strong stakeholder management skills, able to bond with critical partners and manage customers needing support

  • Excellent organisation, being able to find information about all areas of the company

  • Resourceful, with maximum attention to detail and due diligence

  • Strong analytical skills and taste for aesthetics

  • Ability to work well as part of a team, driven, relentless and a proven closer - you don’t take no for an answer

  • Business fluent in English; Spanish or Portuguese a plus

  • Ideally, you are an expat (or have been an expat) living in London or willing to relocate (ARQ can sponsor your visa)

Benefits
  • Competitive salary and benefits

  • Stock options, so you own part of what you build

  • Discretionary performance bonus

  • The latest tools and technology

  • A world-class team that will challenge and grow your skills
