The platform reads tens of millions of data points linked to professional services data and transforms this unstructured data into powerful visualisations and insights that dramatically increase the new business generation potential of its customer law firms. The company has significant traction from a number of target customers. The company has committed and unconditional funding with at least 18 months of runway. The CEO is a three-times serial entrepreneur who has successfully exited one business and still operates the remaining two profitably.

Compensation Initially on a contract basis with a competitive day rate, this role will grow into a ful l time position with the attendant cash and equity compensation. Application As well as your CV, please provide a covering email explaining how your skills and experience match those specified.
