CEO, Cleantech SaaS “Success Story”
The Placement Success Story
The challenge: Lisa Ohman stepped into a company that had just cleared its hardest chapter — the pivot from hardware to software — with real product-market fit and loyal enterprise customers already in hand. The job wasn't rescuing anything; it was something trickier: professionalize the operating rhythm without flattening the founder-built culture that got the company here in the first place. That's a rare combination — most leaders are wired for one or the other, discipline or culture-keeper, rarely both. Lisa was the one who could hold both at once, and it took going past the obvious "SaaS operator" profile to find her.
The Opportunity
A profitable SaaS company with strong product–market fit, loyal enterprise customers, and a proven technical foundation is ready to scale. With the transition from hardware to software complete, the company is poised for its next chapter of disciplined growth. We are seeking a CEO to lead this evolution - not a turnaround.
The Role
As CEO, you’ll refine strategy, instill operational rhythm, and drive revenue growth. You’ll align product, engineering, sales, and customer success around clear priorities, while shaping go-to-market strategy and building strong customer and investor relationships. This is a hands-on role for a builder who thrives on scaling teams and systems.
What You’ll Do
Define and execute a board-approved strategy within your first 90 days.
Establish KPIs and accountability across functions.
Lead product roadmap, packaging, and customer success initiatives.
Build trusted relationships with enterprise and institutional customers.
Coach the leadership team to scale with confidence and maturity.
Drive financing strategy and represent the company with investors and partners.
What We’re Looking For
Proven leadership as CEO, COO, GM, or divisional leader in a B2B technology company.
Experience scaling SaaS businesses and leading cross-functional teams.
Strong grasp of go-to-market mechanics and enterprise sales motions.
Track record working with boards and investors, raising growth capital, and driving disciplined execution.
Familiarity with the Canadian tech and funding ecosystem is a plus.
Why Join?
This role offers the chance to take a credible product, a strong technical foundation, and a motivated team into its next stage of disciplined growth. It is a hands-on opportunity for a leader who thrives on building, scaling, and delivering real impact in a fast-evolving SaaS environment. If you’re a pragmatic, action-oriented leader with a builder’s mindset, this is your chance to make a lasting impact.
Work Style: Hybrid; accessibility to Downtown Vancouver (or Toronto) on a regular basis will be highly preferred.
Compensation: Range will be CA$250-350K/yr.
