ABOUT AI ACQUISITIONAI Acquisition is a bootstrapped, multi-entity business running high-velocity acquisition, coaching, SaaS, and performance marketing operations. We are founder-led, fast, and commercially driven. We build it, test it, and scale it — before others are still planning.THE OPPORTUNITYThe founders are strong on vision, capital allocation, and commercial growth. The gap is the operating layer — management depth, accountability architecture, and the systems that allow leadership to work on the business instead of in it.We explored hiring a President. What we need is not another strategist. We need a hardcore operator who will own the P&L, build the operating system, hold the organisation accountable, and make the company more profitable. This is a role for someone who has done it before and wants to do it again at scale.RequirementsWHAT YOU WILL OWNP&L Ownership: Full P&L ownership across business units — you set the targets, you drive the outcomes, you own the numberOperating System: Build the accountability infrastructure from scratch — KPIs, scorecards, operating cadence, incentive structures, and process automations. Real systems with named outputs, not templatesTeam Performance: Direct management of department heads and senior operators — radical clarity on expectations, consequences, and growth. You make the hard calls (exits, restructures, resets) without deferring upwardGTM Execution: Partner with marketing and sales leadership on pipeline, conversion, and revenue operations — you understand the levers and own them when neededHiring & People Ops: Partner with People & Talent to build management depth — you define the profiles, set the standard, hold the barFounder Leverage: Free the founders from operational management so they can focus on vision, growth, and external relationships — you are the connective tissue between strategy and executionMUST-HAVESVerifiable P&L ownership — revenue grew or margin improved during your specific tenure, confirmable by a named third-party sourceOperated across at least two domain families: GTM (marketing / sales / CS), Ops/Finance (P&L / systems), and People (management / accountability)Built operating infrastructure from scratch — not inherited, not fractional; real systems with named outputs and before/after outcomesMade hard people decisions: exits, restructures, performance management with consequencesIn-house operating experience inside an actual operating company (not exclusively consulting, advisory, or fractional)DC DISC temperament — high Dominance and Conscientiousness; will push back on founders and drive accountability without consensus-seekingManaged teams of 30+ with direct reports at VP / Director levelHigh IQ, high agency, high urgency — you move before you are askedSTRONG SIGNALS (WEIGHTED, NOT REQUIRED)COO, President, GM, MD, VP Operations, or Head of Operations title in a founder-led company (50–500 employees)Background in coaching, SaaS, agency, info products, performance marketing, or high-velocity servicesDoubled revenue or improved EBITDA margin by 5%+ in a tenure window, documentedBuilt an operating cadence (weekly reviews, KPI dashboards, incentive structures) that outlasted your tenureExperience managing distributed / remote teams across multiple geographiesHas spoken publicly about operating philosophy — podcasts, conference Q&A, written contentHARD DISQUALIFIERSExclusively functional specialist - pure CMO, CFO, or CRO with no cross-functional P&L accountabilityFractional or interim-only career with no in-house operating tenurePure advisory or consulting background with zero in-house operating rolesHarmony-seeking / consensus-building DISC profile — this environment is fast and founder-ledZero verifiable P&L or revenue outcomes across careerNo GTM exposure - an ops-only operator who has never owned a commercial outcomeTHE ENVIRONMENTThis is not a polished corporate environment. We move fast, we change direction, and we hold high standards. The founding team is commercially excellent and operationally under-resourced. You will have real authority, real accountability, and real upside.If you need consensus to act, a structured onboarding programme, or six months to understand the business before driving outcomes, this is not the right role.If you have done it before, know what you are looking at within 30 days, and want to build something worth building — we want to talk.BenefitsHOW THIS SEARCH WORKSThis search is being run through a structured sourcing process.
