Job description

Cordance is dedicated to accelerating the growth of vertically focused business-to-business (B2B) software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies through acquisition and long-term tactical and financial guidance. We’re experienced operators and subject-matter experts with a passion for software and building businesses. We partner with founders to help them scale their businesses and realize their companies’ full potential.

We look for businesses with strong leadership and high potential for profitable growth, and work together to increase year-over-year revenue, company efficiency, and impact. Cordance envisions that all companies we work with achieve their full potential. We embrace what makes each company great and build on those foundations. We believe in elevating a company as it scales, delivering dignity to the organization and its employees, and sharing a passion for building a legacy.

Cordance is seeking a data-driven, entrepreneurial General Manager to lead one or more SaaS businesses within our growing portfolio. This operator will own the full P&L, drive operational turnarounds, and unlock sustainable EBITDA growth. The ideal candidate combines sharp financial fluency, a nose for leverage points, and the leadership chops to rebuild teams, realign strategy, and execute with urgency.

This is a fully remote role; all candidates must be based in the U.S.

What You’ll Do

• Own the full P&L and drive EBITDA improvement across one or more SaaS companies
• Lead turnaround strategies through root cause analysis, cost structure realignment, and cash control
• Optimize gross margin via infrastructure savings, support cost efficiency, and OpEx rebalancing
• Redesign pricing and packaging, reduce churn, and increase net revenue retention
• Make strategic team decisions—including hiring, firing, and realigning GTM ownership
• Influence company direction through cross-functional leadership and data-driven prioritization
• Implement clear KPI tracking and forecasting tied to EBITDA, CAC payback, NRR, and LTV/CAC
• Act as the principal business owner, collaborating closely with Cordance’s executive team and board

What You Bring

• Deep operational knowledge of SaaS business models and growth mechanics
• Strong financial fluency across key SaaS metrics and benchmarks
• Proven ability to lead cost restructuring, pricing changes, and organizational transformation
• Clear, calm decision-making under pressure and a track record of executing through ambiguity
• Passion for aligning teams to outcomes, driving performance, and owning results
• Skilled communicator who can build trust with both front-line teams and executive stakeholders

What Will Help You Stand Out

• Experience leading a SaaS business unit within a private equity-backed or multi-entity portfolio
• Experience leading a full business turnaround with measurable EBITDA impact
• Mastery of SaaS unit economics and playbooks for CAC reduction, churn control, and upsell growth
• Operational versatility across product, GTM, finance, and customer success functions
