Job Description
About the Opportunity

We are supporting a holding company that builds and owns tech-enabled services businesses serving SMB and mid-market clients, primarily in North America. The model is not product-led and not freelance-based. Each business is incubated with capital, structure, and hands-on support, and led by a single accountable founder.

This role is suited to experienced operators who want to build, lead, and eventually exit a services business with meaningful long-term ownership.

Role Overview

The Founder will be responsible for building and scaling a tech services business from early stage through maturity. This includes shaping the service offering, leading delivery, supporting pre-sales, hiring and managing teams, and operating with strong financial discipline.

The role begins with a 2–3 month incubation and assessment period, working closely with the holding company’s leadership and venture architect, after which the founder role is confirmed.

Key Responsibilities
  • Build and lead a tech-enabled services business with full P&L responsibility
  • Own service design, delivery quality, and client satisfaction
  • Support pre-sales activities including scoping, pricing, and solutioning
  • Hire, manage, and develop a high-performing delivery team
  • Operate with strong financial discipline and capital efficiency
  • Work closely with the holding company on strategy, governance, and growth planning
  • Prepare the business for long-term scalability and potential acquisition
Ideal Background
  • 8–12+ years of experience in tech services, consulting, or delivery-led roles
  • Strong technical or domain expertise (analytics, automation, RevOps, AI services, etc.)
  • Prior experience owning delivery, client relationships, or business units
  • Exposure to international clients (North America exposure is beneficial but not mandatory)
  • Demonstrated judgment around pricing, margins, and cost control
  • Comfortable being hands-on and accountable in an early-stage environment
Mindset & Fit

This role is best suited for someone who:

  • Wants ownership and responsibility, not just a senior title
  • Is comfortable being coached and assessed during the early phase
  • Values long-term equity creation over short-term compensation maximization
  • Is not seeking a freelance, side-hustle, or purely advisory role
Compensation & Ownership
  • Monthly compensation: USD 2,000–3,500 (based on experience and role scope)
  • Equity: 15–30%
  • Additional equity potential tied to performance milestones
  • 10% ESOP pool reserved for key future hires
Investment & Support
  • Initial investment per venture: USD 40k–70k
  • Hands-on support from a venture architect and central leadership
  • Structured incubation, governance, and scaling support
  • Clear focus on building acquisition-ready businesses
Important Notes
  • This is not a product startup role
  • This is not a freelance or junior opportunity
  • Co-founders are generally discouraged; single-founder accountability is preferred
