Job description

CEO Advisor | SMB Leadership Experience Required | $182K+ Earning Potential | Remote

How To MANAGE a Small Law Firm (HTM)

You've built and grew businesses, made the tough decisions, and owned the results. Now put that experience to work helping other business owners do the same.

Compensation: $110,000 base salary + uncapped performance-based compensation, with the opportunity to earn $182,000+ annually.

Location: 100% remote. Candidates must reside in AZ, CO, FL, GA, ID, IL, LA, MD, MI, MO, NC, NE, NJ, NY, OH, OR, PA, TN, TX, VA, WA, WV. Due to state registration requirements, we can only employ candidates in these states.

The Opportunity

What if you could use your experience as a CEO to make a meaningful impact across multiple small and midsized businesses instead of running just one?

As a CEO Advisor, you'll work directly with small law firm owners, typically running businesses with $1M–$5M in annual revenue. You'll help them improve profitability, strengthen operations, solve business challenges, and grow.

We're looking for someone who has actually operated and scaled a small or midsized business as its CEO. You understand the realities of running a business without layers of management or unlimited resources. You've owned the P&L, made tough decisions, and been accountable for results.

This is a hands-on advisory role. You'll help owners identify what's holding them back, develop practical solutions, and follow through until results improve.

HTM provides client acquisition and business development support, so you can focus on advising clients rather than finding them.

What You’ll Do

• Drive growth and profitability: Help owners identify opportunities and improve pricing, margins, cash flow, and financial performance.
• Solve business problems: Identify operational challenges and implement practical solutions.
• Create accountability: Challenge assumptions, establish priorities, and help owners follow through on their plans.
• Build stronger businesses: Develop the systems and processes needed for sustainable growth.

What You Must Bring

• SMB operating experience: Significant experience leading small to midsized businesses, ideally with annual revenues between $500K and $30M.
• Actual CEO experience: At least eight years of hands-on business leadership, including serving as the actual operating CEO with full P&L responsibility.
• Proven growth: Personally, led a business through meaningful revenue growth, ideally from approximately $500K to $10M+.
• Company-wide accountability: Responsible for overall financial and operational performance, not just a department or function.
• Owner-facing leadership: Comfortable working directly with business owners, challenging assumptions, coaching through difficult decisions, and creating accountability.
• Hands-on execution: You don't just recommend solutions. You help implement them.

Important: You do not need to have owned the company you scaled. However, you must have served as its actual operating CEO and personally led its growth. Consulting, coaching, advising, fractional executive, or department leadership experience does not substitute for this requirement.

Be prepared to identify the company you led, its annual revenue when you took over and when you left, your P&L responsibilities, and the decisions you personally made to drive growth. We are looking for actual company revenue, not pipeline, valuation, capital raised, or revenue you influenced as an advisor.

This Role Is Not for You If…

• Your experience is primarily with large enterprises, and you haven't worked directly with small or midsized businesses.
• You've never served as the actual operating CEO with full P&L responsibility.
• Your experience is primarily consulting, coaching, advising, or fractional executive work.
• You've managed a department or prefer strategy without hands-on execution.
• You're looking for a side gig. This is a full-time commitment.

Compensation & Benefits

• $110,000 guaranteed base salary.
• Uncapped performance-based compensation, with the opportunity to earn $182,000+ annually.
• Full-time W-2 employment.
• 100% remote within the eligible states listed above.
• Benefits package and unlimited PTO.
