AdvantageIQ operates at the link of finance, data and AI.

Partnerships — relationships with source-system vendors (accounting, ERP, payroll, e-commerce, banking API aggregators), advisors (accountancy firms, brokers, PE/M&A advisers) and embedded finance platforms.
Product vision and strategy — 3-year product strategy refreshed annually; defensible point of view on where AdvantageIQ wins.

Experience in AI-driven or data-heavy products, including AI-assistant features and their prompt / data-quality challenges.
Exposure to SaaS pricing and packaging migrations (e.g. per-seat ? usage-based, or freemium ? enterprise).
Qualified accountant; ACA, ACCA, CIMA, ACMA, or equivalent national qualification. You might have practised as an accountant earlier in your career and be able to talk to a CFO about consolidations, management accounts, statutory reporting, and transaction-ready data with credibility.
Commercial rigour — comfortable with unit economics, payback, gross margin, and making trade-offs with imperfect data.
Structured prioritisation — uses frameworks (RICE, weighted scoring, opportunity trees) but is pragmatic about applying them.
Influences without authority — earns respect from engineers, partners, and clients alike.
Clear written communication — produces crisp one-pagers, release notes, and customer memos.
Curiosity about customers — willing to sit in on a CFO's month-end close once a quarter.
