WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
Everything in this group ultimately runs through the Group CEO: the holding company's capital raise, the buyer mandates that feed W2A Trade, the industrialists W2A Connect brings to the table, the deals W2A Impact Capital structures. She is one person across several entities. In an organisation like ours, opportunities rarely die from lack of interest. They die because no one owned the next step.
This role owns the next step. You will sit close to the Group CEO with full visibility across every entity, and your job is to see that engagements become mandates, mandates get defined commercial terms, and terms lead to execution and revenue. You will coordinate, track and chase without managing anyone, which demands judgement and credibility. Our working standard is simple: what is the outcome, and by when? It is one of the most consequential seats in the organisation.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
- Turn every directive from the Group CEO into a clear action with an owner, a deadline and a link to revenue or strategy, and track it weekly.
- Oversee the path from lead to engagement, mandate, commercial terms, execution and revenue, and confirm Finance and Legal have cleared each mandate before execution begins.
- Compile the Monday dashboard: active mandates by stage, a rolling 90-day revenue forecast, upcoming engagements, risk flags and decisions required.
- Prepare a brief before every investor or international meeting, and within 24 hours afterwards record the summary, assign actions and set the follow-up.
- Keep a single relationship record for partners who touch more than one entity, and maintain follow-up with investors, anchor offtakers and institutional partners.
- Support the holding company raise: maintain the investor pipeline, prepare investor briefs and track board and adviser candidates.
- Research markets, sectors, investors and counterparts, and turn findings in
