Job Description
A future CEO position at saas.group, tied to an upcoming acquisition in the HR tech space, leading one or more product-led B2B SaaS HR tech brands initially focused on Germany.
Own growth for a product-led (PLG) SaaS business: sharpen the product, drive acquisition and activation, and build a scalable go-to-market engine; marketing and product are the two competencies that matter most here.
Drive operational excellence: build budgets, track KPIs, optimize ROI, and implement process improvements that increase efficiency and scalability.
Build, coach, and retain a high-performing leadership team; create succession plans and ensure organizational resilience, including across multiple small, complementary brands as the portfolio grows.
Foster innovation by identifying disruptive trends (including AI), experimenting with new business models, and making data-driven bets that strengthen market position.
Champion a strong culture: set high performance standards, encourage collaboration, ensure alignment with saas.group values, and embed diversity and inclusion.
Be ready to take on additional brands within the same space as the portfolio grows.
Requirements
Proven leadership experience as a CEO, GM, or senior executive in a B2B SaaS HR Tech company, ideally product-led (PLG), with a strong track record of driving growth and building enduring businesses.
A strong operational and commercial background, first and foremost: you're an operator who has grown a product and a team.
Marketing and product as core strengths: demonstrated ability to grow a SaaS product's user base and revenue through marketing-led and product-led motions.
Strong financial acumen: budgeting, forecasting, and P&L responsibility, with proven ability to link financial discipline to sustainable growth.
Experience leading organizational transformation through process improvements, operational standardization, and adoption of cutting-edge practices.
A talent magnet: skilled at hiring, developing, and retaining top performers, mentoring future leaders, and creating succession pipelines.
Strong people leadership: ability to set goals, hold teams accountable, address performance issues decisively, and nurture a culture of excellence.
Comfort managing more than one brand or business line at once, with the versatility to context-switch across a small portfolio of complementary products.
Fluent German speaker with strong English, given the initial market focus on Germany; international experience or ambition is a plus as these brands expand beyond DACH.
Visionary mindset with the ability to communicate a compelling long-term direction that inspires both internal and external stakeholders.
Excellent communication and influencing skills, with fluency in English (additional languages are a plus).
AI Literacy & Application: actively use AI tools to enhance personal productivity and work quality, staying curious about emerging capabilities and identifying opportunities to apply AI pragmatically in day-to-day work.
