We are partnered with a venture-backed software company building AI-driven perception and decision tools used in high-stakes, real-world environments.

As the business enters a pivotal scale phase and are seeking a hands-on Chief Revenue Officer to own and accelerate revenue growth.

This role reports directly to the CEO.

  • Own all revenue-related functions: sales, business development, customer success, and deal execution
  • Personally lead and close large, complex, multi-stakeholder deals
  • Turn founder-led selling into a repeatable, disciplined revenue engine
