## Growth Strategy & Engagement Leadership (30%) Own the integrated growth strategy across sales, marketing, and communications. Synthesize insights across market segments, deals, and partners to set commercial priorities, guide team focus, and inform product and go-to-market decisions. Define which customer segments, channels, and partnership models will drive CredLens from early traction to broad adoption — and sequence investments accordingly. This is a market-creation role as much as a market-capture role. The right leader will bring both the strategic clarity to see where the market is going and the operational discipline to build toward it. ## Fundraising Management (15%) Lead CredLens's fundraising strategy and execution in close partnership with the CEO, developing and managing a diversified funding pipeline across philanthropic and grant sources as earned revenue scales. Cultivate and steward relationships with funders, craft compelling cases for support that translate CredLens's mission and outcomes data into clear funder value, and partner with the CEO on major donor and board engagement. Build the systems and team capacity to support sustainable fundraising — and integrate that strategy with broader revenue and long-term sustainability planning. ## Team Development, Enablement & Pipeline Management (30%) Lead and grow the sales team and manage the existing marketing and communications function. Build a unified growth culture across both. Design onboarding and enablement so new sales hires can confidently pitch CredLens, run discovery, and assess fit quickly. Oversee execution quality across the engagement team, intervening selectively on complex or high-stakes opportunities. Own the forecast, stress-test assumptions, and optimize the sales process based on data, bottleneck analysis, and team input. The goal is a pipeline that is disciplined, transparent, and predictable — not dependent on heroics. ## Board-Ready Communication & Cross-Functional Leadershi
