Profile Overview

The business you'd be joining is a proven B2B SaaS product with a loyal customer base and healthy growth (20-30% year on year), built by a strong product team. You'll have an opportunity to have tremendous impact on the commercial side, strengthen the go-to-market strategy and set the international operating rhythm a fast-growing, globally used product deserves. You'll work alongside the technical founder and will take full ownership of turning strong growth into a globally minded commercial business.

Your responsibilities

  • Own the full P&L and set the strategic direction for the business
  • Scale the go-to-market function to match the growing international reach of the product, with sales and marketing operating off one clear strategy
  • Balance continued growth with a clear path to improved profitability, backed by sound commercial and operational decisions
  • Lead and coach the existing management team, building a strong, aligned leadership layer as the business scales internationally
  • Build the operating rigor, from pricing to reporting, that supports competing and scaling into new markets
  • Represent the business externally and collaborate with the wider saas.group portfolio and leadership team

What You bring to the table

  • A strong track record built over several years, marked by continuous growth in scope and responsibility, whether that's as a CEO, GM, or in another senior commercial role.
  • Real ownership of commercial or financial outcomes (P&L, revenue, GTM), with a clear pattern of taking on more.
  • Experience leading a team of 7+ people and leading through at least one layer of management, even if the team wasn't huge
  • A go-to-market background in B2B SaaS (product, marketing, or sales) with hands-on exposure to building or scaling a commercial function.
  • A genuinely international mindset, or a clear track record of bringing one to a business that hasn't had it yet.
  • Fluent English and real comfort operating with autonomy and minimal structure. First-time CEOs, and people making their first move into a bigger commercial remit, are very welcome to apply.

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 & sustainable.
  • Small & 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.
