Role Summary-

It is responsible for converting programme components that currently exist as ideas, one-off interventions, or informal practice into structured, repeatable, scalable products — with defined scope, playbooks, and delivery formats that any Venture Partner or Sprint Operator across hubs can pick up and run consistently.

Key Responsibilities

Create playbooks for each sprint type so delivery quality doesn't depend on which Sprint Operator runs it
Design and productize the SMB Community and peer network model (Peer Circles, Hub Chapters) into a defined, repeatable format
Design the Alumni Engagement pathway — structure for repeat sprints and a paid conversion model for ventures exiting the core programme
Build out Sector Focus Sprints as standalone products, examples:
Defence Manufacturing — DPP compliance, OEM connect
Food & Agro — export certification, retail entry
EV & Clean Tech — OEM partnerships, subsidy navigation
Take other ad hoc or one-off interventions run across hubs and convert them into standardized, reusable products (clear scope, inputs, outputs, effort)
Bring an analytical lens to product design — sizing demand, structuring frameworks, validating assumptions before building
Build and maintain a network of external service providers relevant to sector sprints (compliance consultants, certification bodies, OEM connectors, etc.)
Apply consulting-style structured problem solving to genuinely ambiguous, undefined areas of the programme

Requirements

Background in management consulting, or a Chartered Accountant with strong exposure to business problem-solving
Strong grounding in management consulting problem (6-11years) -solving frameworks (structuring, hypothesis-driven analysis, MECE-style breakdowns) — hands-on sector experience is not required, ability to apply frameworks to a new sector is what matters
Demonstrated experience building frameworks, playbooks, or productized service offerings — not just executing against someone else's brief
Strong analytical and structuring ability; comfortable working from ambiguity to a defined product
Existing or buildable network of relevant service providers/experts, able to work independently in a remote, build-from-scratch capacity
