Your team IG Prime is seeking a high‑calibre Business Manager to work directly alongside the Chief of Staff / COO. This is a high‑impact, highly visible role at the centre of IG Prime’s growth agenda, spanning strategic initiatives, operational alignment, and senior leadership support.

The successful candidate will act as a trusted partner and force multiplier to the leadership team, owning complex cross‑functional workstreams from inception through to delivery.

What You’ll Do

Develop and maintain performance frameworks and dashboards to track commercial KPIs and identify areas of opportunity.
• Operational Alignment: Act as the key interface between product, technology, and the business – ensuring roadmap priorities are aligned to commercial objectives and that dependencies are actively managed. Facilitate cross‑functional forums, resolve escalations, and drive operational rigour across teams. Identify structural or process inefficiencies and lead initiatives to improve organisational effectiveness.
• Management & CEO Reporting: Prepare high‑quality materials for ExCo, Board, and CEO‑level audiences, including strategic updates, business reviews, and investor briefings. Coordinate and drive the annual and quarterly planning cycle, ensuring leadership has the information and analysis needed to make timely decisions.
