Founded in 2022, Everfield has an ecosystem presence in 7 countries—and growing.

The Role

As Managing Director (MD), you will lead one of Everfield’s portfolio companies and assume full ownership of its strategy, execution, and performance. This role is designed for operationally strong leaders with deep experience in software businesses who are ready to take end-to-end responsibility for a growing company.

You will work closely with Everfield’s central teams but operate independently, with the autonomy to shape the future of the business. This role is especially suited to individuals with prior experience running software companies in a standalone or platform model, particularly in the €2M–€10M recurring revenue range.

• Manage full P&L and own key performance metrics (EBITDA, ARR, MRR)
• Drive revenue growth and cost optimization to achieve financial targets

Commercial Execution

• Shape the go-to-market model, including sales, marketing, and pricing
• Establish clear KPIs and performance systems to track revenue and funnel efficiency
• Drive customer retention and recurring revenue growth

Communication & Stakeholder Management

• Represent the company externally and internally with investors, partners, and customers
• Report to Everfield’s central team with strategic and financial updates
• Serve as the face of the business while cultivating lasting external relationships

Operational Excellence

• Continuously improve internal operations, product delivery, and support

We are especially interested in individuals with:

• Prior experience as a Managing Director, General Manager, or CEO in a B2B software or SaaS environment
• Proven success leading a business with €2M–€10M in recurring revenue
• Full accountability for business performance, including P&L, headcount, and strategy
• Familiarity with multi-site or multi-entity software company structures
• Experience operating within decentralised models or working with shared-service or platform support functions
• A hands-on leadership style, grounded in operational excellence, clear communication, and cultural stewardship

Who Should Apply

We welcome interest from experienced software leaders who understand the dynamics of buy-and-hold environments and portfolio-driven growth—particularly those who have thrived in aggregator, accumulator, or roll-up software organizations.

While we review each application carefully, we are currently focused on candidates who bring:

• First-hand experience scaling vertical or niche software businesses
• Familiarity with decentralized ownership and platform-based acquisition models
• A desire to take full accountability for a business and build for the long term

If this context resonates and your experience aligns, we’d love to hear from you.
