About the OpportunityWe are seeking an ultra-capable, highly autonomous Executive Manager to take
full end-to-end ownership of the initial phases—and ultimate scaling—of a highly ambitious global startup.
This is not a traditional management role. You will operate with
minimal supervision and execute a meticulously predefined blueprint.
If you require hand-holding, average targets, or standard corporate pacing, this role is not for you. We are looking for the absolute top 1% of operational minds—a systems thinker who can seamlessly transition between corporate law, product architecture, unit economics, hyper-scale global operations, and more.
Scope of Work & the Execution RoadmapYou will systematically execute the following operational roadmap:
1. Executive Direction, Feasibility, and Operating Rules- Establish the CEO Operating System, including daily dashboards, decision-making protocols, and a process-control completion standard.
- Manage a rigid Probability and Feasibility Framework, defining evidence required to scale, pivot, or shut down.
2. Foundation Selection- Evaluate global English-speaking markets using an Opportunity Scoring system (customer value, gross margin, defensibility, regulatory risk, etc.).
- Validate customer problems through deep B2B and B2C interviews, explicitly measuring cost, time, and revenue loss.
- Define the business model, unit economics, and SKUs (Free to Enterprise tiers), testing price sensitivity before committing.
3. Jurisdiction, Corporate Structure, Entity Formation, and Governance- Establish the initial corporate structure and secure counsel opinions.
- Execute founder agreements, vesting schedules, and a comprehensive Intellectual Property protection system (trademarks, patents, trade secrets).
4. Accounting, Tax, and Financial Controls- Set up strict cash/runway reserves and segregation-of-duties financial controls.
- Configure the accounting system for recurring revenue, deferred revenue, refunds, and chargebacks.
- Manage tax nexus mapping and secure comprehensive corporate insurance (Cyber, D&O, E&O).
5. Product Architecture, MVP, Security, and Compliance by Design- Define the Minimum Viable Feature Set and technical architecture.
- Implement enterprise-grade security (threat modeling, encryption, penetration testing) and privacy frameworks.
6. Contracts, Hiring, Vendors, and Operational Readiness- Draft and operationalize all commercial contracts (TOS, SLA, DPA, Enterprise MSAs).
- Build the hiring engine: write scorecards, conduct work-sample tests, manage worker onboarding.
- Establish strict Vendor Risk Management and deploy a comprehensive, SLA-driven multi-tier Customer Support system.
7. Pre-Launch, Validation, Sales, Marketing, and First Revenue- Develop the brand identity, secure domains, and run closed B2B/B2C beta tests measuring repeat use and customer-reported ROI.
- Design the go-to-market strategy, B2B sales scripts, B2C conversion journeys, and channel partnerships.
- Clear all final legal, financial, and security launch checklists to onboard the first paying customer.
8. Scaling from Launch- Track and optimize core unit economics: CAC, LTV, Net Dollar Retention, Gross Margin, and Churn.
- Hire functional operational leads (RevOps, SecOps, Support Ops, etc.) and establish formal incident management.
- Pass independent financial and control reviews.
9. Multi-Region Expansion- Execute the regional expansion sequence.
- Implement SRE operations while securing required certifications.
10. The Final Push and IPO- Form a public-ready Board of Directors with Audit, Risk, and Compensation committees.
- Manage systemic technology and risk.
- Drive complete IPO readiness.
11. KPIs, Timelines, Critical Path, and Final Audits- Manage the Master Gantt Timeline, dependency graphs, and Critical Path to every milestone.
- Execute a massive ongoing Legal, Financial, and Operational Safety-Net Audit (covering everything from Cyber Insurance to key-person redundancy).
- Ensure absolute compliance with all quantitative targets, allowing zero undocumented sub-decisions or unmeasured ambiguities.
Required Candidate Qualifications- Cross-Functional Literacy: You possess a rare, multi-disciplinary fluency. You must be able to seamlessly context-switch between debating tax law and corporate structuring with legal counsel, discussing multi-tenant cloud architecture with engineers, and optimizing B2B enterprise sales motions.
- Uncompromising Quantitative Rigor: You do not rely on intuition. You are a master of financial modeling, unit economics (CAC, LTV, Gross Margin, Net Dollar Retention, etc.), and probability-based decision-making. You are comfortable utilizing strict assumption, decision, and question registers.
- Technical & Regulatory Acumen: Deep conceptual understanding of modern software architecture, enterprise security standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001), data privacy laws, and AI governance risk management.
- First-Principles Execution: The ability to evaluate, architect, and execute complex frameworks from scratch—such as establishing IP-holding vs. operating entities, and tax nexus mapping.
- Extreme Autonomy & Self-Auditing: You require zero micromanagement. You possess the discipline to rigorously self-audit, cite sources and underlying reasons for your strategic claims and decisions, and enforce a process-control completion standard across the entire organization.
Experience and Background- Executive Leadership: Significant tenure (typically 3+ years, or equivalent extreme-impact experience) as a Founder, CTO, COO, or General Manager with absolute end-to-end P&L and operational responsibility.
- Zero-to-Scale Track Record: Proven, verifiable experience taking a product from early ideation or MVP to massive commercial scale, successfully navigating bottlenecks.
- Global Operational Complexity: Hands-on experience managing cross-border business operations.
- Dual B2B & B2C Expertise: Direct experience designing, launching, and scaling both enterprise B2B sales cycles and B2C consumer conversion journeys, including complex pricing tier strategies and contract negotiations (TOS, SLA, DPA).
- Risk & Institutional Management: A history of preparing organizations for rigorous institutional scrutiny, such as managing external financial audits, securing enterprise compliance certifications, or preparing a company for acquisition or public market readiness.
Who We Are Looking For (The Ideal Candidate)- The Ultimate Generalist-Specialist: You have executive-level fluency in product management, corporate finance, international corporate law, scaling, and go-to-market strategy.
- Radically Autonomous: You do not need a manager. You are given a blueprint and you output the results.
- Hyper-Analytical: You do not guess. You base decisions on mathematical scoring, rigorous split tests, and absolute compliance with predefined rules.
- A Zero-to-One and One-to-Scale Leader: You are comfortable doing the granular work of interviewing the first 10 customers, while possessing the systemic vision to plan enterprise architectures and an IPO roadmap.
- Uncompromising on Quality: You adhere to strict process-control standards. You understand that "tax optimization" requires deep economic substance research, and "secure" requires literal SOC 2 / ISO 27001 implementation, not just buzzwords.
Paid TrialShortlisted candidates will be invited to a
15–20 minute screening conversation plus one short paid trial task. A final offer will follow successful completion of these stages.
