About FlexUp

FlexUp is reinventing the way businesses are built, run, and shared.

We are developing a comprehensive ecosystem designed to help entrepreneurs and companies start, manage, and grow their businesses in a way that is simpler, more resilient, and fundamentally more equitable. Our ecosystem rests on three pillars:

• An Innovative Economic Model: A universal remuneration framework where profits and voting rights are distributed based on actual contributions and risk taken – not status, seniority, or negotiating power. Every stakeholder – founders, team members, investors, suppliers, and clients – participates under the same transparent rules.
• A Powerful Business App: An integrated SaaS platform to manage contracts, orders, cash flow, and equity distribution, turning complex business operations into a seamless experience.
• A Collaborative Network: A growing community of professionals, advisors, and investors aligned around shared values and mutual success.

About the Role

This is not a traditional marketing hire. This is a partner‑level leadership role.

FlexUp’s founder and CEO is a technical builder – the architect behind the economic model, the legal framework, and the app. What’s missing is an equally driven counterpart on the commercial and strategic side: someone who can take a powerful product and turn it into a thriving business.

As Chief Growth Officer & Partner, you will be the driving force behind everything that brings FlexUp to the world: market positioning, brand building, demand generation, business development, strategic partnerships, customer acquisition and retention, and revenue growth.

This is a leadership role with real equity, real decision‑making authority, and a direct seat at the table. You and the CEO will form the core leadership duo steering FlexUp’s growth.

• Define and execute FlexUp’s global go‑to‑market strategy across segments (entrepreneurs, startups, SMEs, corporates, investors, service providers).
• Draft a clear, differentiated market positioning for FlexUp’s economic model, platform, and community.
• Own brand strategy, messaging architecture, and storytelling across all channels and touchpoints.
• Build FlexUp’s thought‑leadership presence, positioning the company as a category creator for an equitable business infrastructure.
• Business Development & Strategic Partnerships.
• Identify, negotiate, and close strategic partnerships (incubators, accelerators, professional networks, institutional partners, franchise opportunities).
• Develop and execute a franchise and licensing strategy to scale FlexUp’s model across geographies and verticals.
• Build relationships with ecosystem players – investors, advisors, media, government programs – to accelerate adoption.
• Customer Acquisition, Onboarding & Growth.
• Design and scale a multi‑channel acquisition engine (content marketing, SEO, social media, PR, events, referral programs, paid campaigns).
• Own the full customer lifecycle: acquisition, onboarding, activation, retention, expansion (cross‑selling, up‑selling), and advocacy.
• Build and optimize demand generation strategies targeting qualified leads across all stakeholder segments.
• Define and track growth KPIs (CAC, LTV, MQL/SQL pipeline, activation rates, churn, NPS, revenue per account).
• Revenue & Commercial Operations.
• Drive revenue generation through subscription growth, platform adoption, and advisory services monetization.
• Develop pricing and packaging strategies in collaboration with the CEO.
• Support fundraising efforts: investor communications, pitch materials, market narratives, and due diligence support.
• Team Building.
• Build and lead the commercial team over time – marketing, business development, customer success, partnerships – through internal hires, agencies, and freelancers.
• Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering to ensure market feedback shapes the product roadmap.

Who We Are Looking For

• 15+ years of experience spanning marketing, business development, and commercial leadership, with a track record at the C‑level or senior VP level.
• Proven experience building and scaling a commercial function from early stage to growth phase – ideally as a founding team member, first commercial hire, or head of growth at a startup or scale‑up.
• Deep expertise across brand strategy, go‑to‑market execution, demand generation, and business development.
