Profile Overview This is an opportunity to lead one of our growing brands as its next CEO: a high-momentum B2B SaaS business with an enviable position in its category, exceptional brand visibility, and real commercial momentum, now at an inflection point with major new growth bets coming to life. The brand's previous CEO took the reins from the founders when the company was still small and drove a period of significant growth, leaving the business well positioned, highly visible, and ready for its next chapter. We're looking for a CEO with the energy, conviction, and strategic clarity to set and own that next vision: to build on a strong base and well established brand, move upmarket, deepen the product, and define what the category leader looks like for the next several years. You'll own the brand's P&L, strategy, growth, culture, and overall performance, working closely with the saas.group leadership team, your board sponsor, and the broader community. Your immediate impact in the first 3-6 months will be: Running a smooth handover with the outgoing CEO and building direct, trusted relationships with the leadership team and the wider team. Developing and landing a clear point of view on the brand's next strategic chapter, validated with your board sponsor. Lifting product velocity and shipping cadence, turning early momentum into a consistent delivery rhythm and moving adoption of a key new product in the right direction. Bringing a major new growth initiative to market as a credible, durable new growth vector. Your responsibilities Define and own a bold, multi year vision for the brand, aligning with saas.group objectives while staying sharply aware of a fast moving, competitive market. Lead the upmarket motion: evolve positioning, product, and go to market to win larger customers while protecting the simplicity and ease of use that has always defined the product. Set the bar on product velocity and shipping cadence, ensuring the team consistently delivers capabilities. Scale our newest growth engines from early traction into durable, material revenue streams. Own commercial performance end to end: drive new revenue across PLG, inbound, and sales led motions, and treat retention and revenue as first order priorities. Drive operational excellence: own the P&L, build budgets, track the KPIs that matter, and put in place the processes that let the business scale efficiently. Foster innovation by spotting disruptive trends (including AI, both as a customer segment and as a tool), experimenting with new business models, and making data driven bets. Build, coach, and retain a high performing, fully remote leadership team, champion a strong culture aligned with saas.group values, and represent the brand externally with customers, partners, and the wider PLG SaaS community. What you bring to the table Proven leadership as a CEO, GM, or senior executive in a B2B PLG SaaS company, with a strong track record of driving growth and building enduring businesses. A demonstrated ability to craft and execute strategy across PLG, sales led, and partnership motions, with the judgment to make decisive market and product calls. Experience scaling a product through an upmarket transition, balancing enterprise grade depth with a simple, lovable user experience. A bias toward shipping: you know how to set a high product velocity and hold a team to a healthy, sustainable pace of delivery. Strong financial acumen: budgeting, forecasting, and full P&L responsibility. Comfort with the dynamics of payments, payouts, and fintech adjacent product lines is a strong plus. Fluency with the SaaS PLG growth toolkit, and ideally the fast moving AI customer segment we serve. A talent magnet and strong people leader: skilled at hiring, developing, and retaining top performers remotely, setting goals, holding teams accountable, addressing performance decisively, and comm
