Company mission
To orchestrate the full supplier lifecycle - transforming procurement, third-party risk management, and spend control.
Role
Who you are
- It’s the perfect role for someone who wants to be a future founder, GM, COO or commercial leader; compressing 10 years of experience into two
- The spike we’re looking for is commercial judgment and operator muscle, not process. The best candidates will have lived the chaos of a start-up/scale-up and learned how to bring order without slowing things down
- You’ve likely spent 6–10 years in high-growth companies (ideally B2B SaaS), in roles spanning BizOps, BD/revenue generation, or GM-style leadership. You understand how sales, marketing, and capital decisions drive growth, and you can turn strategy into action without much direction
- You are entrepreneurial and motivated to help build a business, not just observe one. You’re happiest when working hard and solving challenging problems. You know this requires dedication and some sacrifice, and you think it’s worth it
- You have a track record of exceptional performance -- whether in academia, work, or elsewhere -- and evidence of sticking it out through tough environments. You’ve thrived in 0→1 or growth-stage companies, helping to build the playbook while executing it
- You’re commercially minded and can run projects end-to-end: hiring execs, working deals, or launching GTM initiatives. You’ve learned what great execution looks like and bring that standard everywhere you go
- You communicate crisply and with purpose. You can craft CEO-grade narratives -- board decks, investor updates, external comms -- and represent Omnea and our CEO with confidence and discretion
- You’re trusted, pragmatic, and able to move quickly when needed. You thrive in ambiguity, act with judgment & taste, and bring momentum to everything you touch
- Dealbreakers: This is not for pure consultants/VCs without operating experience. It’s not for people who need heavy structure, or who want process over progress. If you don’t get energy from being in the weeds & making an impact (often requiring unglamorous work), you will not enjoy this role
What the job involves
- You’ll be our CEO’s commercial and executional partner -- running special projects that don’t yet have a natural owner, from acquisitions and fundraises to exec hiring, PR, and building out new teams/business lines. It’s a genuinely cross-functional Office of the CEO role, sitting at the intersection of product, GTM, and business building more broadly
- This person will not be a back-office operator. You’re a builder and a doer -- someone who thrives on ambiguity, wants to learn how to run a company from the inside, and can turn ideas into results at speed. It is also not glamorous work: You will need a ‘no job is too small’ attitude and to thrive from executing and making an impact, not strategising
- You’ll get an unmatched view into how a category-defining AI-driven business scales from $10M to $100M+ ARR at great speed, working directly with the CEO and leadership team
- You’ll be trusted with some of the most important company initiatives, and your fingerprints will be on some of Omnea’s most strategic moves
- In short: This is the CEO’s right hand on the initiatives that drive growth, visibility, and scale. If you succeed, the company moves faster, hires better, and shows up in the world with the ambition of a generational business
- You’ll own and deliver CEO-level special projects end-to-end. You’ll take a rough idea, scope it in days (not weeks), and drive to a clear finish line. One quarter that might be running an exec search end-to-end (outreach, screening calls, and all!); the next it could be exploring an acquisition, launching a new GTM motion, or helping unblock a critical customer need
- You’ll drive partnerships and strategic GTM bets. You’ll identify leverage points, pilot new GTM plays, and coordinate across Sales, Product, and Marketing to unlock revenue -- from enterprise lighthouse customer pursuits to ecosystem partnerships
- You’ll be our CEO’s commercial force multiplier. You’ll support with sales, customer, and investor meetings, handle important follow‑ups, and learn how to close complex deals. You’ll prep for investor updates, coordinate PR moments, and make sure Omnea shows up in the right rooms
- You’ll lead executive and critical hiring. You’ll source, run, and close senior searches. You’ll build the brief, map the market, run a tight process, and bring elite operators to the table and filter candidates before our CEO speaks with them
- You’ll raise the external bar. You’ll shape employer brand and press opportunities, design CEO‑quality narratives, and turn wins into signal to move the market and attract talent
- You’ll operate with founder-level ownership, at pace. You’ll decide what matters, what doesn’t, and in what order. You’ll keep momentum through ambiguity, clear blockers, and communicate crisply so busy people can move
- You’ll learn fast and earn trust. You’ll work directly with the CEO and leadership team, gaining exposure to how product, GTM, capital, and hiring intersect -- and you’ll be trusted with all internal company matters
Salary benchmarks
Our take
The way businesses buy stuff is broken. Whether it's SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months, requires 50+ emails, and involves multiple different stakeholders. Which in turn, is slowing businesses down.
Omnea's platform handles the entire purchasing process: giving employees an easy place to make requests (Intake), managing the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made (Approvals Engine), and automating all renewals management and suppliers risk assessments. Giving both buyers, and finance and procurement leaders critical visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent.
Given the current markets increased focus on capital efficiency, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to use Omnea and get control of their spending.
