iGii is a Scottish deep tech company pioneering Gii - a proprietary, pure 3D carbon nanomaterial that is redefining the future of electrochemical sensing. From their headquarters in Stirling, iGii are building the next generation of diagnostic and sensing platforms - ultra-sensitive, sustainable, handheld and capable of detecting multiple analytes simultaneously. Gii-enabled platforms unlock new frontiers across diagnostics, food safety, environmental monitoring, veterinary health and other multi-billion dollar categories. Poised to transform entire industries, delivering exceptional performance without the complexity or cost of traditional systems. Backed by top-tier investors and operating with commercial urgency, iGii has developed a breakthrough sensing platform with the potential to transform point-of-care testing globally. With a new U.S. hub planned post-Series B and an expanding global footprint, the company is significantly scaling both capability and leadership. Building a business of real substance, with commercial traction, scientific credibility, and operational scale, iGii has the potential to become one of Scotland's defining technology success stories. The opportunity We are seeking a Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) to lead iGii's commercial strategy, drive revenue and unlock the full market potential of their technology. This is not a conventional product sales role. Not selling finished goods - they are selling possibility: the chance for customers to build category-defining products enabled by Gii. The CCO will be a member of the executive team and a central figure in shaping iGii's trajectory - working alongside the CEO, CSO, COO and CFO to build and execute the commercial engine that drives adoption, accelerates platform exits and supports strategic inflection points, including M&A. What success looks like iGii's commercial story becomes clear, compelling and irresistible to strategic partners. Gii-powered platforms are adopted by Tier 1 industry leaders through co-development agreements. Revenue growth tracks closely with strategic value creation - not just near-term sales. The sales team becomes a high-performance unit aligned with platform growth, not transactional wins. The CCO is recognised as a thought leader in our space - respected in the market, present with customers and trusted by our board. Key responsibilities Lead and scale iGii's global commercial function, inheriting a team of Sales Directors across North America, UK and Europe. Drive strategic revenue through category-creating, trust-based sales cycles where vision, data and belief precede product. Translate complex science into market-shaping narratives that create belief, urgency and commercial traction. Build Tier 1 relationships, navigating long-cycle enterprise pathways with knowledge of internal gates and decision-making processes. Partner cross-functionally - particularly with Science, Product and Ops - to ensure the commercial voice informs the roadmap, not just follows it. Represent iGii externally - with customers, at industry events and in investor and board settings. Coach and elevate the existing team - including Sales Directors, Commercial Operations and Marketing - bringing out their best while identifying future capability needs as we scale. About you You are a visionary commercial leader who has sold high-stakes, science-led, platform technologies before. You understand the commercial arc from proof of concept to platform adoption to corporate acquisition and have lived it. You are credible in deep tech environments, fluent in the language of scientists and engineers and able to turn complexity into clarity. You've worked with Tier 1 customers, understand the internal politics, decision making and approval processes and know how to build the relationships that matter. You thrive in growth environments: messy, fast-paced and full of possibility. You are energised by the challenge of commercialising something that's never been sold before - and of building belief where no roadmap exists yet. You love being out in the world - forging deals, shaping partnerships, unlocking opportunity - and you know how to balance that with boardroom rigour. What we offer A seat at the executive table of one of the UK's most ambitious deep tech scale up companies. The chance to shape and lead a commercial function from high-potential to high-performance. The opportunity to define markets, not just compete in them and to help bring a category-defining material to life. A world-class science team, clear product roadmap and strong investor backing. A governance model that combines strategic clarity, structured execution and room to lead. A global footprint in development, with planned expansion into the U.S. following Series B.

Located in Elgin, in the heart of the world-renowned whisky-producing region of Speyside, Gordon & MacPhail is a proudly independent, family-owned business with over 130 years of expertise in Single Malt Scotch Whisky. From its origins as a local retailer, the company has grown into a globally respected name, renowned for selecting, maturing, bottling, and exporting some of the world's rarest and most sought-after malt whiskies. It also owns and develops its own whisky brands through two distilleries in Speyside. Owned by the Urquhart family, Gordon & MacPhail operates with a clear sense of purpose and long-term ambition, guided by the belief that the future is shaped by today's actions-and that today reflects the legacy of the past. The family and Board continue to take a generational view of growth, most notably demonstrated through the acquisition of Benromach Distillery in 1993 and the construction and development of The Cairn. While the company waits until the mid-2030s to unveil the first single malt from The Cairn, it has launched CRN57, a range of blended malts that offers whisky explorers a preview of the aromas and flavours to come. These distilleries, both owned and operated by the company, are of strategic long-term importance-and at the heart of its growth ambition lies a renewed focus on developing and scaling their brands internationally. About the role Gordon & MacPhail is now seeking to appoint a Chief Executive to lead the next chapter of growth, driving the global development of its brand portfolio through coordinated commercial, marketing, and strategic initiatives.
