About BlueThrone

BlueThrone specializes in acquiring, expanding, and scaling mobile applications. By leveraging tried-and-tested growth strategies, deep monetization knowledge, and proprietary technology, BlueThrone transforms outstanding products into leaders within their categories. With growth fueled both organically and via acquisitions, the company is expanding its leadership team with operators who take charge of entire business activities rather than isolated functions.

Position Overview

We're seeking an accomplished business executive to fully own a business unit at BlueThrone. This role carries comprehensive responsibility over the profit and loss, product strategy, teams, customer relationships, and growth initiatives. Unlike typical function management roles, this position requires running the business as its chief executive officer, accountable for all results.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the entire business unit including revenue, customer retention, product roadmap, and profitability.
• Recruit, organize, and develop cross-disciplinary teams encompassing Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Commercial divisions.
• Lead B2B growth efforts by managing pricing, sales processes, partnerships, developer and B2B marketing, and expansion within existing client accounts.
• Define strategic direction and ensure its execution on a quarterly basis.
• Coordinate the unit's products, technology, and go-to-market approach with BlueThrone's overall platform and teams for seamless integration and scalability.
• Serve as the primary representative of the business unit to customers, partners, and the broader market.

Candidate Requirements

• Extensive, practical experience in the mobile app market including understanding of subscription models, app store economics, SDKs, monetization tactics, and growth strategies.
• Proven B2B background related to mobile apps, such as involvement in building, selling, or managing B2B products for mobile app developers or publishers, like SDKs, analytics, attribution, monetization, or infrastructure solutions.
• Demonstrated experience owning and managing a business unit or company with profit and loss accountability rather than overseeing a single operational function.
• Successful track record in building and leading high-performing, cross-functional teams, earning strong loyalty and followership.
• An operator’s mentality capable of balancing strategic thinking and hands-on problem solving, from board-level planning to resolving urgent customer issues.

Additional Desired Qualifications

• Experience in integrating businesses post-acquisition or guiding companies through mergers and acquisitions.
• Familiarity with subscription infrastructure, revenue operations, or platforms targeted at developers.
• Commercial exposure to global B2B SaaS clients ranging from small and medium businesses to enterprises.
• Competency in data-driven decision-making, especially utilizing cohort analysis, lifetime value assessments, and revenue metrics.
• Experience scaling startups from uncertain early stages rather than just optimizing established operations.

Key Personal Attributes

• A proactive leader who embraces complete responsibility, rejecting any notion of "not my department."
• Energetic, decisive, and hands-on when necessary.
• Strong communicator fluent in English, suited for high-level customer engagement in global markets.
• Quick to build trust with team members, customers, and company founders.

Why Join BlueThrone?

• Take charge of an entire business with real revenue streams and customers from the outset.
• Gain a leadership role in a dynamic, fast-growing company with an active acquisition agenda.
• Benefit from the support, data insights and successful playbooks of an established mobile app operator while enjoying autonomy to shape your unit's future.
