Requirements:
7+ years in senior operating or strategy roles at a scaling tech company. Youve lived the 100-to-500 person journey.
Adtech or consumer internet background. You speak programmatic, performance marketing, or consumer product economics without needing a translator.
Financing experience. Youve run or been close to a PE, growth equity, or debt process and know what investor-ready actually means.
Corp dev track record. Partnerships, M&A, or both. You know how to build a pipeline and close.
Operator instincts. Commercially sharp, builder mentality, high trust, low drama. Arpeely has no playbook for this phase. Youll write it.
AI native. You use AI as a core part of how you work, for external research, internal analysis, and day-to-day execution. This is a baseline expectation, not a differentiator.
