General Manager, Macro Intelligence Platform

Institutional macro investors make billion-dollar allocation decisions using frameworks that are only as good as the intelligence behind them. Most of what is available is generic slow and distributed through sell-side channels built for a different era.

This platform is different. Built around the research and market views of one of the most widely followed macro economists in institutional finance it combines proprietary data infrastructure market regime signals and daily research commentary to give institutional investors a genuine edge on macro. 50% of the worlds largest macro hedge funds are already paying customers including multi-strategy platforms systematic managers and major European asset owners.

We are at $300K USD ARR across 20 institutional clients on annual subscriptions. The product converts. The client list is remarkable for a business at this stage. Sales to date have been largely founder-led and inbound. What we do not yet have is a dedicated commercial operator who can build the distribution engine that takes this from $300K to $1M ARR and beyond.

The business is spinning out of a European venture studio as a standalone company. The GM owns the P&L with no CEO layer above them and is the senior commercial operator of the business. A CTO is already in seat. The founding research and product team remain closely involved and are a commercial asset from day one. The opportunity is to come in with top-tier institutional relationships already in place a product that converts and a research engine with genuine credibility then build the machine that takes it from here.
