New decision-maker hired

A role has closed, suggesting a new owner may be in seat soon.

Why it works

A new leader usually spends the first months reviewing the team's tools, vendors and processes. When a senior role closes, that review is about to start, and you can be in touch before the new owner settles on what to keep. The job post also tells you what they were hired to change.

How to act on it

Reach out early, before the new owner standardizes tools or vendors.
