Job description

What is the company? The role is for a future CEO position at the company, tied to an upcoming acquisition in the HR tech and workforce management space. We are continuously acquiring new businesses and are building a strong talent pool of ambitious leaders who want to step into CEO roles within our portfolio. If you see yourself leading a SaaS business with us in the future, we'd love to connect.

At the company, we partner with ambitious leaders to transform great SaaS products into category leaders. Founded in 2017, we've built a global powerhouse of B2B SaaS companies by acquiring and scaling high-potential ventures. As a CEO within our group, you'll focus on what you do best — driving growth, building high-performing teams, and shaping product strategy — while we take the weight of administration, finance, and back-office complexity off your shoulders. With the backing of a fully remote team of 380+ colleagues across 50+ countries, you'll run your brand with the autonomy of a founder and the support of an experienced network that sets you up for long-term success.

We grow 23 exciting brands under our umbrella. Feel free to explore our Candidate's Hub to get an insider's view, dive into our culture, and gain valuable insights into our teams and how we work.

Also, don't forget to follow the company on LinkedIn to stay up to date on our job openings, podcast episodes, and all things happening at our company.

Profile Overview

We are looking for a CEO to lead one or more of our HR tech / workforce management SaaS brands into their next stage of growth and scale, with the potential to grow this into a multi-brand roll-up under one leader over time. As CEO, you will own the brand's P&L, strategy, growth, culture, and overall performance, driving both short-term execution and long-term strategic direction. You will work closely with our leadership team, board, and the broader the company community to deliver impact across go-to-market, product, operations, and finance. This role is an opportunity to shape the future of a small, highly profitable SaaS business (or cluster of businesses) within a high-growth portfolio, while having the backing, network, and resources of the company.

These are product-led, self-serve B2B SaaS businesses serving the German market first, with room to internationalize over time. We're looking for a strong product-led-growth operator and general manager: someone who can grow revenue and product and manage PnL.

Your responsibilities
  • Own growth for a product-led (PLG) SaaS business: sharpen the product, drive acquisition and activation, and build a scalable go-to-market engine: marketing and product are the two competencies that matter most here
  • Drive operational excellence: build budgets, track KPIs, optimize ROI, and implement process improvements that increase efficiency and scalability.
  • Build, coach, and retain a high-performing leadership team; create succession plans and ensure organizational resilience, including across multiple small, complementary brands as the portfolio grows.
  • Foster innovation by identifying disruptive trends (including AI), experimenting with new business models, and making data-driven bets that strengthen market position.
  • Champion a strong culture: set high performance standards, encourage collaboration, ensure alignment with the company values, and embed diversity and inclusion.
  • Be ready to take on additional brands within the same space as the portfolio grows
What you bring to the table
  • Proven leadership experience as a CEO, GM, or senior executive in a B2B SaaS HR Tech company, ideally product-led (PLG), with a strong track record of driving growth and building enduring businesses.
  • A strong operational and commercial background, first and foremost: you're an operator who has grown a product and a team
  • Marketing and product as core strengths: demonstrated ability to grow a SaaS product's user base and revenue through marketing-led and product-led motions.
  • Strong financial acumen: budgeting, forecasting, and P&L responsibility, with proven ability to link financial discipline to sustainable growth.
  • Experience leading organizational transformation through process improvements, operational standardization, and adoption of cutting-edge practices.
  • A talent magnet: skilled at hiring, developing, and retaining top performers, mentoring future leaders, and creating succession pipelines.
  • Strong people leadership: ability to set goals, hold teams accountable, address performance issues decisively, and nurture a culture of excellence.
  • Comfort managing more than one brand or business line at once, with the versatility to context-switch across a small portfolio of complementary products.
  • Fluent German speaker with strong English, given the initial market focus on Germany; international experience or ambition is a plus as these brands expand beyond DACH.
  • Visionary mindset with the ability to communicate a compelling long-term direction that inspires both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills, with fluency in English (additional languages are a plus).
  • AI Literacy & Application: You actively use AI tools to enhance personal productivity and work quality, staying curious about emerging capabilities and identifying opportunities to apply AI pragmatically in day-to-day work.
What's in it for you
  • Ultimate flexibility: We're 100% remote. You can work from wherever you like, whenever you like.
  • Freedom and autonomy: We're a high-trust team, and you'll be given lots of flexibility to solve problems in your own way — with plenty of help from the team when you need it.
  • Minimum bureaucracy: We don't like to get bogged down with meetings and red tape. We like to be efficient and keep momentum steady and sustainable.
  • Small and friendly team: We help each other out, have fun, and joke around.
  • Our network: We are a community of entrepreneurial SaaS professionals that regularly exchange ideas, knowledge, learning, and expertise with each other internally.
  • Flexible time off: We want you to recharge your batteries when needed.

We don't just simply offer you to "take a job with us" but rather to "join us on this journey" to build the world's largest platform of independent SaaS companies.

the company is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
