We (@lets_align) are thrilled to support a growing eCommerce brand in the sleep tech space as they search for their new GM. This business is growing and profitable, with proprietary technology that gives the brand a significant edge as it develops new products and enters new markets. The successful candidate will bring an extensive network of eCommerce experts and agencies to hit the ground running. If you’re a growth executive with experience scaling a DTC brand from $5M to $30M+ (preferably in the sleep tech space), we’d love to hear from you. This role is open to candidates in the US or Canada. Send us a note to [email protected] with a bit about your experience growing a sleep tech brand. Bonus points if you have successfully navigated the launch and growth of selling on Amazon and other US marketplaces. #hiring #ecommerce

We have a really cool Head of Finance opportunity at a new holdco focused on SaaS acquisition. Who should we talk to?

We’re spinning up a standalone service at @lets_align: reference checks on exec level candidates. We’d like to refine the offering and process and we’re looking for a few companies to beta test this, free of charge. Preference is that candidates are being considered for Senior Director, VP, or C-Level roles. First three companies looking to run a reference check process who reach out to us at [email protected] get a free reference check!

All great entrepreneurs are great recruiters. If you’re good at figuring out who to hire and when, you have an incredible edge.

Reference checks, like interviews, are only helpful if you prepare properly and know what you’re looking for. Go in with an open mind, dig deep, and treat any red flags very seriously. Your future self will thank you.

We're supporting a small (ish) SaaS business in their search to find a new General Manager. This is a unique opportunity for a motivated SaaS executive to step into a successful, profitable SaaS business and scale it to new heights. If you have: - Experience successfully building and leading a product function in a growing SaaS business (ideally you've had direct leadership: VP, Head of Product or CPO experience in a company that has scaled from 20 to 100+ people). - Experience leading a team in a profits-first company. - Managed a P&L or are deeply interested in the financial operations of a growing technology company. This is a truly special company with a loyal customer base and a massive TAM. If you're ambitious and have considered the GM or CEO role as the ideal next step in your career, we'd love to chat! Role is remote, and open to Canadian or US candidates. Send us a note to [email protected], or my DMs are always open! 😊 #hiring #executivesearch

We have some amazing product leaders in the network potentially open to new things. If anyone is looking for a VP Product or Chief Product Officer, please reach out at [email protected] :-) Candidates come from different backgrounds but are largely focused on B2B SaaS/Fintech.

We're currently supporting an awesome design agency based in Van with a Principal Brand Designer role. If you have experience with building brands from scratch within the digital product space, we'd love to hear from you! Send us your portfolio to [email protected].

We get asked a lot for interview tips and what to look for in an exec hire, especially by first time founders looking for VPs or COOs. After about 1000 interviews and seeing a lot of successes and some failures, there are a few things that stand out:

Any great Art Directors out there open to new things? I may have something awesome for you! Bonus points if you love playing games :-) Send me a note at [email protected]!

The first experienced exec you should hire is a VP Ops or a COO. If you hire other functional leaders at the 10-35 person stage because they've "done this before", you're over hiring.

We have some really cool CEO and COO opportunities for agency folks right now. These roles are in smaller companies (design, product, AI) with huge potential, but need scrappy operators at this stage who get excited about scaling agencies. Who should we talk to?

Friendly reminder that we have some incredible candidates at the C-Suite and VP level who are potentially open to new things. Like really, really accomplished folks. It's crazy.

We have some awesome technical and revenue leaders in our network right now who are passively open to new things. Looking for a CTO or VP of Marketing or Sales? Send me a note at [email protected] 😊
