This role is for a "builder" who thrives in the high-stakes environment of global startups and rapid scaling.

  • Serve as a core member of the Executive Team, providing high-level synthesis and critique of new business ideas and investment opportunities.
  • Drive the decision-making process for strategic initiatives, ensuring that growth models are sustainable and scalable on a global stage.

Portfolio Coaching & Operational Excellence:

  • Act as a high-level mentor and coach to the Top Management Teams (TMTs) of portfolio companies, guiding them through the transition from early-stage startups to mature market leaders.
  • Optimize the operating models of various business units, providing hands-on advice on pricing strategies, partner negotiations, and contract frameworks.

Financial & Legal Oversight:

  • Provide expert support across the full spectrum of corporate functions, including Strategic Planning, Forecasting, Tax, and Legal.

  • Senior Leadership: 30+ years of finance and accounting leadership experience, with a heavy emphasis on finance operations.
  • Sector Expertise: Deep roots in Technology Product companies and a proven track record of operating within a startup during periods of dynamic, global expansion.
  • Funding & Exit Success: A documented history of navigating successfully funded private companies and managing complex Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A).
  • Technical Mastery: High competence in financial accounting, systems implementation, and corporate finance within a VC/PE context.
  • The "Start-Up" DNA: You must be comfortable in an environment with zero bureaucracy. We need a leader who can make "tough-call" decisions that have an immediate, tangible impact on the business.

  • Cultural Fluency: Experience operating within the Chinese market and the broader APAC ecosystem is essential.
