Chief Executive Officer
Consumer Fintech Subscription Company (PE-Backed)
DealTeam is working with a private equity firm to lead a profitable, founder-built consumer fintech subscription business with a loyal customer base. The business is highly profitable (no burn) and is ready for its next stage of growth post investment. You'll take over from the founders, who will support a transition. You'll own two clear growth levers: B2C monetization and retention, and building new B2B/partnership channels.
The Company
The company is a well-established brand in its niche: a direct-to-consumer subscription business that helps people take control of an important part of their financial lives. Its product is built on proprietary data and search technology developed over many years. That gives customers answers they can't easily find anywhere else, and gives the business an edge that is hard to copy.
The founders built it without venture capital or a growth-at-all-costs playbook. They focused on a product customers value, disciplined spending and steady compounding. The result is a profitable, cash-generative company run by a lean, fully remote team.
Recurring revenue: a large and growing base of paying subscribers
Built-in funnel: a much larger base of registered users who already know the brand
Digital-first: customers find the company, sign up and subscribe online, driven by marketing
Trust as a moat: a regulated, financial-services-adjacent space where credibility and compliance matter
The core consumer business still has real gains to capture in monetization and retention. And the underlying technology has natural applications for business and partner customers, an opportunity that is early and largely untapped.
Why This Role
The founders built a product people want and a business that pays for itself. They're now ready to hand the company to an operator who can take it further. Significant upside remains, both in the consumer business and in B2B channels. Because the business is profitable and has never received funding from venture capital. You'll share in the value you create through a meaningful equity stake.
The Sponsor & Plan
The company is backed by an experienced sponsor, not venture capital. The plan is a 3-5 year value-creation horizon, with growth funded by the company's own cash flow. You'll report to the Board and work closely with the sponsor partners on strategy and capital allocation.
Your First 12–18 Months
Success over your first year to eighteen months looks like this:
Complete a smooth founder transition and take full ownership of the business
Set a clear growth strategy and operating plan with the Board
Deliver measurable gains in B2C monetization and retention
Open the first new B2B/partnership channels
Strengthen the leadership team and set a clear product roadmap
What You'll Own
Full P&L, strategy and the operating rhythm of the business
B2C monetization: pricing, packaging and conversion
Retention and customer lifetime value
New B2B/partnership channels, from first partners to a real revenue line
The team, product priorities and board reporting
Day to day, you'll split your time between strengthening the consumer business and building new channels, where you'll shape the offer and hire the people who will scale it.
Who You Are
You're a subscription operator who has owned a P&L and enjoys the economics of pricing, conversion and retention. You read a cohort chart the way others read a headline, and you're as comfortable testing a new idea as you are walking a board through the plan. You build teams, make clear decisions, and like the accountability that comes with a profitable business.
Must have:
You've owned a full P&L in a SaaS, subscription or tech-enabled business
You've grown a B2C subscription business through pricing, packaging and retention
You've led and hired teams, ideally remote ones, through a period of change
Nice to have:
Fintech or regulated-industry experience (B2C fintech is ideal)
B2B, partnership or channel experience in financial services
