Job description

Position Description

Christian CEO | Remote | Startup | Performance-Based Independent Contractor

Compensation & Engagement

As Acumen Agency is currently in the startup stage, this opportunity is initially structured as a performance-based independent contractor engagement under an independent contractor agreement. Compensation is directly tied to agreed KPIs and contracts secured. Our goal is to transition to a salaried or hourly arrangement as soon as the company's financial position allows.

About Acumen Agency

Acumen Agency is a Christian-founded professional services firm and startup providing consulting, marketing, and a broad range of business and professional services to businesses, entrepreneurs, charities, governments, organizations, and institutions.

Our services include:

• Business and management consulting
• Marketing and advertising
• Branding and communications
• Business development and sales
• Corporate and business services
• Financial and administrative services
• Compliance and organizational support
• Technology and IT services
• International business services
• Other professional and commercial services

Our vision is to build a diversified, scalable, international professional services organization capable of serving clients across multiple industries and markets.

While Acumen Agency is a for-profit business, our Christian faith is an important part of who we are and the culture we want to build.

We believe in business as mission and business for missions - building a successful company that serves customers exceptionally well, creates meaningful opportunities for employees, operates with integrity and stewardship, and uses its success to bless others.

As we grow, our long-term vision includes supporting Christian missions, churches, ministries, charities, humanitarian organizations, and philanthropic initiatives.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Fractional / Interim CEO to work closely with the founder and leadership team in building Acumen Agency from the startup stage. This is an opportunity for an experienced Christian executive, entrepreneur, business owner, or senior business leader who wants to help build a professional services organization from the ground up.

The position is fractional, remote, and flexible, with the potential to develop into a permanent executive leadership role as the company grows.

• Corporate strategy and organizational development
• Sales and business development
• Marketing and growth
• Operations and management
• Team building and leadership development
• Financial and business performance
• Systems and processes
• Client relationships
• Organizational growth and expansion

We are looking for someone who can think strategically, lead people, build systems, develop teams, solve problems, and turn vision into measurable execution.

Christian Leadership & Values

This is intentionally a Christian leadership position.

• Ministry-minded and mission-minded
• A servant leader
• A person of integrity and strong character
• Passionate about serving others
• Committed to stewardship and excellence
• Supportive of Christian missions and ministries
• Interested in philanthropy and humanitarian work
• Entrepreneurial and commercially minded

We believe business can be a powerful platform to serve people, create jobs, develop leaders, generate wealth responsibly, and give generously.

This is not a church, ministry, or charitable organization. Acumen Agency is a commercial, for-profit professional services firm, and the CEO must be committed to building a successful and sustainable business.

Startup Environment

Acumen Agency is in the startup and growth stage, and this role is suited to someone who enjoys building rather than simply managing an established organization. You should be comfortable with uncertainty, limited resources, rapid change, and being hands-on. We are looking for someone who can see the bigger vision while also helping build the people, systems, culture, and processes necessary to achieve it.

Who We're Looking For

• CEOs and Presidents
• COOs and senior executives
• Managing Directors
• General Managers
• Entrepreneurs and business owners
• Senior operations leaders
• Business-development executives
• Christian business leaders
• Experience in professional services, consulting, marketing, sales, business development, or entrepreneurship is particularly valuable.
• Formal C-suite experience is important, but Christian character, leadership ability, entrepreneurial thinking, business judgment, and the ability to execute are equally important.

Work Environment

• Fractional / Interim
• Remote
• Flexible hours
• Startup environment
• Significant leadership opportunity
• Potential for a permanent executive position as the organization grows

Application Question

• How would you describe your Christian walk, your relationship with Jesus Christ, and how your faith influences the way you lead others?

We are looking for a leader who wants to help build a great professional services company, a great team, and a great culture - while using business success to serve others and ultimately make a positive impact for the Kingdom of God.
