Founding CEO | AI Startup | NYC

Primis is partnered with an early-stage AI-native SaaS startup in NYC building a platform that helps growing businesses turn scattered business knowledge into sales, marketing, and growth. Initial funding is secured, the founding team is in place across product, design, and operations, and the product is largely built. This is a rare opportunity to step into the top seat at a company with real momentum already behind it.

They're hiring a Founding CEO to become the main driving force behind the company's growth: someone who can take a built product to market and turn it into a category-defining business.

What you'll work on:

• Own the company's overall growth strategy and execution

• Lead go-to-market across sales, marketing, partnerships, and customer acquisition

• Work with product, design, and engineering to sharpen the roadmap

• Translate customer feedback into product and commercial priorities

• Recruit, lead, and manage high-performing teams

• Develop positioning, pricing, packaging, and market strategy

• Build relationships with customers, partners, investors, and strategic advisors

• Drive the company from product readiness to repeatable revenue growth

What we're looking for:

• 5-10+ years of experience in technology, startups, SaaS, or AI

• Entrepreneurial experience in a previous software startup, ideally as a founder, co-founder, or early senior operator

• Strong understanding of B2B SaaS go-to-market motions

• Comfortable selling early, talking to customers, and shaping a market

• Technical fluency: you don't need to be the engineer, but you should be able to lead product and engineering conversations with clarity and confidence

• Resilience, urgency, and judgment; energized by ambiguity rather than paralyzed by it

• Bonus points for experience with AI products, applied AI, or knowledge/automation systems, and for fundraising or investor relations experience

Compensation will include salary, performance-based upside, and meaningful equity, structured to align with long-term company growth.
