Leadership Opportunity

This is a unique chance to lead a high-growth, high-visibility B2B SaaS brand as its next CEO. The company is currently at an inflection point, with significant new growth initiatives coming to fruition. The previous CEO, who took over from the founders when the company was small, successfully drove substantial growth, positioning the business for its next phase. We are seeking a CEO with the energy, conviction, and strategic clarity to chart the next chapter, build on the strong foundation, and position the brand as a category leader over the next few years. You will oversee the P&L, strategy, growth, culture, and overall performance, collaborating closely with saas.group leadership, your board sponsor, and the broader community.

Immediate Impact

In the first 3-6 months, your key responsibilities will include:

- Facilitating a smooth transition with the outgoing CEO and building strong, trusted relationships with the leadership and wider teams. - Developing and implementing a clear strategic vision, validated with your board sponsor. - Enhancing product velocity and delivery cadence, ensuring early momentum translates into consistent performance. - Launching a major new growth initiative as a sustainable revenue driver.

Key Responsibilities

- Define and own a bold, multi-year vision that aligns with saas.group objectives while staying attuned to a rapidly evolving market. - Drive the upmarket transformation: refine positioning, product, and go-to-market strategies to win larger customers while maintaining simplicity and ease of use. - Set the standard for product velocity and shipping cadence, ensuring consistent delivery and capability. - Scale new growth initiatives from initial traction to sustainable, substantial revenue streams. - Drive end-to-end commercial performance, focusing on new revenue growth across product-led growth, inbound, and sales-led channels, treating retention and revenue as top priorities. - Promote operational excellence: manage the P&L, build budgets, track key performance indicators, and implement processes for efficient scaling. - Foster innovation by identifying disruptive trends, experimenting with new business models, and making data-driven decisions. - Build, coach, and retain a high-performing, fully remote leadership team, champion a strong culture aligned with saas.group values, and represent the brand externally.

Qualifications

- Proven leadership experience as a CEO, GM, or senior executive in a B2B product-led growth (PLG) SaaS company, with a proven track record of driving growth and building enduring businesses. - A demonstrated ability to craft and execute strategy across PLG, sales-led, and partnership motions, with the judgment to make decisive market and product decisions. - Experience scaling a product through an upmarket transition, balancing enterprise-grade depth with a simple, user-friendly experience. - A bias toward shipping, with the ability to set high product velocity and maintain a sustainable pace of delivery. - Strong financial acumen, including budgeting, forecasting, and full P&L responsibility. Knowledge of fintech and adjacent product lines is a plus. - Fluency with the SaaS PLG growth toolkit, including a deep understanding of the AI customer segment. - A talent magnet and strong people leader, skilled at hiring, developing, and retaining top performers remotely, setting goals, holding teams accountable, and communicating a compelling vision. - AI literacy and application, actively using AI tools to enhance productivity and quality of work.
