The CEO will serve as the commercial architect and executive leader of CellClar. In this high-impact role, you will report directly to the Board of Directors and partner with the Founders to translate the company’s established vision into a scalable, operational reality. You will hold full P&L ownership and responsibility for the "how"-defining the strategy, securing the capital, and driving the day-to-day execution required to bridge the gap between scientific potential and commercial success.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Fundraising & Financial Architecture

• Chief Fundraiser: Spearhead all capital-raising initiatives. You will own the narrative and execution for securing Pre-seed/Seed/Series A investment, high-value grants, and philanthropic capital.
• Financial Stewardship: Oversee the financial health of the organization, ensuring robust P&L management, cash flow forecasting, and the development of a sustainable revenue model that supports our non-profit status.
• Investor Relations: Act as the primary interface for investors, building confidence through transparent reporting on both commercial growth and social impact metrics.

2. Commercial Growth & Market Impact

• Direct Sales Leadership: You will not just manage sales; you will be the company's primary closer. You will personally lead negotiations and secure our initial high-value Enterprise pilots and partnerships with pharmaceutical partners and research institutions.
• Scaling Impact: Develop and execute a 3-5 year strategic plan focused on scaling platform accessibility, user adoption, and hitting social impact targets.
• Business Development: Drive the transition from platform development to market adoption, expanding the platform's reach across Global North and Global South markets.

3. Operational Leadership & Strategy Execution

• Operationalise the Vision: Convert the Board’s high-level vision into actionable quarterly and annual operating plans. You are responsible for the roadmap to reality.
• Executive Oversight: Provide day-to-day management of all functional areas, including platform development, research partnerships, and business operations.
• Governance: Ensure strict statutory compliance and adherence to CIC social mission mandates as the primary fiduciary officer.

4. Team & Culture

• Build the Team: Recruit, mentor, and retain a high-performing executive team capable of executing the business strategy.
• Culture: Foster a culture of agility, innovation, and unwavering commitment to the "dual bottom line" (financial sustainability + social impact).

Ideal Candidate:

• The "Operator" Mindset: You possess the gravitas of a CEO but the hands-on approach of a COO. You excel at processes, deal-closing, and operational efficiency.
• Proven Leadership: Demonstrable experience in a C-Suite or senior leadership role (CEO, GM, COO) within a tech, biotech, or health-tech startup environment.
• Fundraising Track Record: A successful history of securing early-stage funding (VC/Angel), significant grants, or philanthropic capital. You must be comfortable driving investor pitch strategy and due diligence.
• Sector Expertise: Strong working knowledge of the biotech, precision medicine, or healthcare data landscape. An understanding of the challenges and opportunities for academic and commercial researchers is highly valued.
• Values Alignment: A flexible, adaptable, and highly committed individual who fully aligns with the not-for-profit CIC model and its dual bottom line.

What We Offer:

• Significant Equity Compensation: An equity package reflecting the criticality of the CEO role and your contribution to the company’s success. (Note: This role transitions to a salary package upon closing Pre-Seed/Seed Round).
• Pioneering Impact: The opportunity to lead a unique CIC that is fundamentally bridging the gap between scientific data and improved patient outcomes.
• High Autonomy: Direct P&L ownership and authority to execute the business strategy.
• Flexibility: Remote/Hybrid working flexibility.
• Future Growth: A clear pathway to grow and shape the future of a key player in the healthcare ecosystem.
