With strong recurring revenues and healthy cash flow, the business is well-positioned for its next phase of expansion under decisive and entrepreneurial leadership.

About the Role

This is an opportunity for a seasoned operator to step into the CEO role of a lean, high-margin SaaS company. The incoming executive will take full ownership of business performance — setting strategy, building out the team, owning the P&L, and optimizing for long-term growth and profitability. This role is ideal for a leader who combines financial acumen with product intuition and has a proven ability to scale technology businesses in a disciplined, capital-efficient manner.

Responsibilities

• Define and execute the company’s vision, strategy, and operating plan.

• Own full P&L responsibility, including balance sheet and cash flow oversight.

• Lead, hire, and manage a multidisciplinary team (Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, CS, Finance, Ops).

• Prioritize and guide the product roadmap based on customer needs and business impact.

• Develop and optimize go-to-market strategies across multiple acquisition channels (paid, organic, partnerships, sales).

• Foster a culture of accountability, operational excellence, and customer-first thinking.

• Present performance updates to stakeholders and board members.

• Make thoughtful investment decisions that drive ROI while maintaining fiscal discipline.

Requirements

• 7+ years of leadership experience at startups or growth-stage companies, preferably in SaaS or software-driven services.

• Prior experience as a CEO, GM, Founder, or senior executive responsible for revenue, marketing, and/or operations.

• Deep understanding of go-to-market strategies, ideally with experience in affiliate, partner, or channel-based growth.

• Proven ability to lead lean, profitable businesses with disciplined operations.

• Strong product sensibility and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, design, and product teams.

• Financially literate with a deep understanding of SaaS metrics, budgeting, and cash flow forecasting.

• Demonstrated track record of building and developing high-performing teams.

• Entrepreneurial mindset: adaptable, hands-on, resilient, and decisive.

Benefits & Why Join

• Leadership role at a profitable, cash-flow-positive SaaS company with a strong market position.

• Full autonomy to shape the strategic direction and organizational structure.

• No fundraising pressure — focus entirely on building long-term enterprise value.

• Competitive base compensation and a meaningful share in profit distribution.

• Work in a dynamic ecosystem with ample growth potential and the chance to build a lasting legacy.

Bonus Qualifications (Nice to Have):

• Experience scaling affiliate, partner, or marketplace-driven growth.

• Familiarity with the Shopify App ecosystem or similar platform-based marketplaces.
