Chief Executive Officer

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Location: Remote (United States)

Employment Type: Full-Time

Reports To: Board of Directors

About Us

NuHQ is an early-stage (pre-launch) software company building AI-first enterprise software solutions that are thoughtfully designed around the needs of business customers. We are seeking a Chief Executive Officer to lead the company through its next phase of growth, including product commercialization, customer acquisition, team building, and operational scaling.

Position Overview

The CEO will be responsible for executing the company’s overall strategy, leading go-to-market efforts, developing customer and partner relationships, managing operations, and building a high-performance organization.

This role requires a strong business leader who can operate effectively in a startup environment, balancing long-term vision with day-to-day execution.

The ideal candidate is a strategic and execution-oriented leader who is comfortable engaging with customers, developing go-to-market strategy, building teams, and creating operational discipline. This individual will work closely with the Board — bringing honesty, transparency, and an unwavering work ethic — to transform a promising product vision into a successful and scalable business.

This is not a role for someone who wants to manage a mature organization. This is a builder role. The CEO will personally help close early customers, shape product direction, recruit key leaders, establish operating processes, and solve whatever problems arise each day. 

Key Responsibilities

Strategy & Leadership

• Execute the company’s strategic vision and business plan.
• Establish company objectives, priorities, and key performance indicators.
• Partner with the Board to guide long-term growth and value creation.
• Identify new market opportunities, partnerships, and growth initiatives.
• Build and maintain a strong company culture centered on accountability, innovation, and customer success.

Go-to-Market & Revenue Growth

• Lead the commercialization of NuHQ's platform from early customer adoption through scalable revenue growth.
• Develop customer acquisition, sales, and customer retention strategies.
• Build relationships with prospective customers, partners, and industry stakeholders.
• Personally lead early enterprise sales efforts until a larger commercial organization is built.

Customer Engagement

• Serve as a visible and credible representative of the company in front of customers, prospects, and industry partners.
• Gather customer feedback and market intelligence to influence product direction.
• Develop trusted relationships with executive-level customer stakeholders.
• Act as a key evangelist for the company’s vision and solutions.

Operations & Execution

• Establish operational processes and management systems that enable scale, while remaining willing to be hands-on during critical phases of the company's growth.
• Assist with company budgeting, forecasting, and resource allocation.
• Drive organizational alignment and accountability across teams; surface and address risks proactively before they become organizational problems.
• Monitor company performance and implement corrective actions when necessary.
• Ensure effective coordination among product, engineering, customer success, and sales functions.

Team Building

• Recruit, develop, manage and retain exceptional talent; act as both coach and player — mentoring team members while working directly alongside them on critical initiatives.
• Foster collaboration, transparency, and professional growth across the organization.
• Create organizational structures that support efficient execution and future growth.

Qualifications

Required

• 10 years of demonstrated leadership experience in a software, SaaS, or technology business.
• Strong strategic thinking and business planning capabilities.
• Proven success leading customer-facing activities, business development, or go-to-market initiatives.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills; known for honest, direct, and transparent communication across all levels of the organization.
• Experience managing teams and driving organizational execution.
• Strong operational mindset with the ability to translate strategy into measurable results; entrepreneurial spirit with a strong bias for action and willingness to work hands-on when the moment demands it.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment with ambiguity and limited resources.
• Ability to thoughtfully leverage modern AI tools.

Preferred

• Prior experience as a CEO, President, General Manager, Founder, or senior executive.
• Experience scaling a SaaS or enterprise software company.
• Experience selling to mid-market or enterprise customers.
• Startup or high-growth company experience.
• Familiarity with modern software and AI-enabled products.

Not Required

• Deep software engineering or technical expertise.
• Hands-on coding experience.
• Advanced AI or cloud infrastructure knowledge.

Compensation

Competitive compensation and benefits; meaningful early-stage equity opportunity.
