Stimulating revenue growth through sales strategies, partnerships, and market expansion,
Building and leading a high-performing founding team,
Monitoring technological and market trends related to AI, automation, and enterprise software,
Managing the operational and financial aspects of the company,
Representing the startup in discussions with investors and ecosystem partners.
Who we are looking for (Must-have)
At least 5-7+ years of proven track record of leadership experience in a startup environment,
At least 3+ years of experience working with IT implementations or technology projects in large organizations,

Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, early-stage environments,
Knowledge of project management and process design,
C1+ level of spoken and written English,
C1+ level of spoken and written Polish.
Nice to have
Experience working with AI or implementing AI-based solutions,
Experience in enterprise software, automation, or digital transformation projects,
Experience collaborating with technical teams building data or AI products,
Previous involvement in startup scaling or venture building environments.
What we offer
CEO / Co-founder role with full ownership of building the startup,
Opportunity to build a company from scratch within a proven venture-building model,
Support from an experienced startup studio with over 18 years of experience,
Access to the knowledge and network of the Red Sky and Tar Heel Capital ecosystem,
