Role overview

This is a senior leadership opportunity for an accomplished executive who can take full ownership of a B2B SaaS business within a fast-growing portfolio setting. The role is centered on end-to-end performance, covering strategy, revenue expansion, operations, organizational build-out, and complete profit-and-loss responsibility. It offers substantial independence, backed by a global platform that reduces operational complexity so leadership can stay focused on growth and execution.

You will play a central role in shaping go-to-market direction, developing and guiding strong teams, and steering both product and commercial evolution in a competitive SaaS environment. The position blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution, with influence across product, sales, finance, and culture. It is well suited to a leader who wants meaningful ownership while benefiting from the support, capability, and network of a broader ecosystem.
