The challenge

At Seed stage, rapid 3x growth had left HeatGeek without the infrastructure or experience to support a wider customer base. Self-sourcing had failed, burning months reviewing CVs and engaging unsuitable candidates.

What Scene built

After advising the SLT on the talent market, competitor insights, and co-creating an ideal hiring profile, Scene rebuilt the Customer Operations function within a two-month sprint.

The outcome

The team transitioned HeatGeek from a reactionary team with manual processes to a data-and-insights-led function, whose output, increased capacity, and scalable processes led to a successful £6m Series A raise and supported the 'Zero Disrupt' product launch.
