## About the role

We're looking for a Strategy & Ventures Lead to bring operating and investment discipline to NewsBreak's core business, our two new AI initiatives, and NexBreak Ventures. The initiatives are NDot AI , an AI growth platform for publishers, short-drama producers and other content creators, and Nearby AI , a local-intent marketplace. NexBreak Ventures is our new corporate venture arm: it invests in startups and helps them grow with NewsBreak's distribution, data, AI and monetization expertise. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Evaluate NDot AI and Nearby AI on strategy, product-market fit, progress, team, resourcing and unit economics
- Analyze growth, funnels, retention and monetization directly in our data systems (SQL / Hive / Spark) to guide strategy and operating decisions
- Build business cases and financial models that inform resource allocation and accelerate / continue / pivot / stop decisions
- Set KPIs, milestones and stage gates, and track performance against the original investment case
- Run regular business reviews with initiative leaders and help them find execution gaps and resourcing needs
- Help build an active corporate venture platform from the ground up
