• Build executive relationships with customers and strategic partners while supporting enterprise sales opportunities.
• Own business performance, including budgeting, forecasting, profitability, and key operational metrics.
• Ensure successful customer implementations, adoption, retention, and expansion.
• Recruit, mentor, and develop high-performing teams while fostering a culture of innovation, accountability, and customer focus.
• Collaborate with shared corporate functions including Sales, Marketing, Finance, HR, Legal, IT, and Operations to accelerate business growth.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field (MBA preferred).
• 10+ years of leadership experience in enterprise software, SaaS, or technology organizations.
• Experience leading product strategy while owning business outcomes, including revenue growth and P&L performance.
• Proven success developing and commercializing enterprise software solutions.
• Strong understanding of SaaS business models, recurring revenue, pricing strategies, and go-to-market execution.
• Experience leading software development organizations and cloud-based technology platforms.
• Excellent executive communication, customer-facing, and strategic leadership skills.
• Experience with enterprise software supporting inventory management, asset management, manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, or operational technology environments is highly preferred.

Why Join?

This role offers the opportunity to lead the growth of an innovative, real-time Inventory and Asset Management System while shaping product strategy, driving commercial success, and building a scalable software business with the support of an established organization. It's an ideal opportunity for a VP of Product, General Manager, Business Unit Leader, or senior technology executive looking to own the strategy and success of an entire SaaS division.
