-Selling to CEOs, founders, boards, CHROs, or other senior decision-makers

About us:
We are a SaaS executive marketplace built for senior leadership talent.
The platform is designed to give executives greater control over when and how their identity is shared while helping companies make better executive hiring decisions.
We are not a traditional recruiting firm, staffing agency, or job board.
Stage:
We are currently in the pre-launch / early commercialization stage.
ETA Launch Date: Decemember, 2026
Compensation:
-This is an equity-based founding executive opportunity with no base salary at this stage.
-Meaningful equity is offered to the right executive.
-This role is best suited for a high-performing revenue leader who knows their value, understands how to accelerate an early-stage business, and is comfortable trading short-term salary for meaningful ownership and long-term upside.
-The ideal candidate should be capable of helping fast-track commercialization, build revenue momentum, and materially increase enterprise value.
-This is not a traditional salaried executive role.
-It is an opportunity for someone who wants to help build the company and participate directly in the value they help create.
Commitment:
-The role may begin on a fractional or part-time basis and expand as we grow.
-We are looking for someone who wants to help build the commercial side of the company rather than simply inherit an existing sales organization.
Ideal Profile:
Top 3 Priorities
- Has already created significant traction on a shoestring budget
We are looking for someone who has personally helped grow a company with limited resources and can point to measurable results achieved WITHOUT depending on a large marketing budget, large sales team, established brand, or expensive infrastructure.
This person should know how to identify the highest-leverage channels, test quickly, build partnerships, create demand, and generate commercial momentum using disciplined capital.
- Can personally build and execute the go-to-market engine
We need a hands-on commercial leader who can move from strategy to execution.
The right person should be comfortable opening doors, developing relationships, testing messaging, building channels, creating pipeline, closing early customers, and establishing repeatable revenue processes before a larger team exists.
- Wants rewarding ownership in the value they help create
The right candidate should want Equity in a company they can materially help build rather than simply work for a fraction of their potential worth as only a salaried employee.
They should believe their contribution can accelerate our growth and want to participate directly in the enterprise value they help create.
Additional Characteristics
The strongest candidate will combine:
strategy + relationships + sales execution + startup judgment
They should also:
-Be comfortable being measured by commercial results.
-Operate independently without waiting for a large existing infrastructure.
-Know how to prioritize when resources are limited.
-Understand how to create traction BEFORE scaling spend.
-Be resourceful, creative, and highly execution-oriented.
-Understand the difference between buying growth and creating growth.
-Be motivated by ownership, influence, and long-term value creation.
This role is intended for someone who sees themselves as a builder, not simply an employee.
