Entrepreneur in Residence für work2stay (m/w/d) | B2B SaaS · 100 % remote · bis

Role Summary

We are not looking for an employed managing director to take over a finished company.

We are looking for the entrepreneur who will lead work2stay from an already established starting position into a financed and growing SaaS company.

work2stay is the AI-supported pre-check engine for international recruiting. A structured candidate profile is created from the CV, qualifications and documents with a readiness report, open evidence and the next organizational steps - as a digital quality gate before the official process. (Work2Stay)

The MVP is live and is currently being tested with pilot partners. FLYACTS and an experienced venture partner have developed the problem, business model, product and initial market access.

Your first milestone is clear: you secure the next round of financing. Afterwards, you will take over work2stay long-term as Founding CEO and build up marketing, sales, organization and team in particular.

Expertise in international recruiting is helpful, but not a requirement. This page can be supplemented in the future by a technically strong co-founder from our pilot environment.

Your strength lies in building a SaaS company

Gain capital. tell vision. Convince customers. lead people.

Which financing rounds did you lead?

Which digital or SaaS business model have you already built commercially?

Why should work2stay be a relevant company in five years?

Please add a video of a maximum of three minutes in which you tell the work2stay vision as you would tell a potential investor.

Responsibilities

• You develop financing strategy, investment story, pitch deck and financial plan and lead the process from the investor pipeline through pitches and due diligence to closing.
• You tell the vision of work2stay in such a way that investors, customers, partners and future employees gain trust and develop energy.
• You personally win the first paying customers and build a repeatable marketing and sales route.
• You hone your target group, positioning, pricing and packaging based on real market reactions.
• After financing, you will assume full CEO responsibility for strategy, numbers, team and stakeholders.
• You give the product direction based on customer conversations and sales data. You don't have to be a product manager or developer yourself.

Requirements

• You have already founded a company or led a young company in a CEO or comparable entrepreneurial role.
• As a founder, CEO or person in charge, you have already raised at least 1 million euros in external equity and have managed the process yourself, from investor search and pitch to term sheet and closing.
• You understand B2B SaaS and have proven that you can market, sell and develop products into recurring revenue.
• For you, marketing and sales are not functions that you just control. You can position, pitch, handle objections and close them yourself.
• You can tell a big vision without exaggerating. People trust you because you combine enthusiasm with clarity and substance.
• You have a high level of personal responsibility, decision-making power and resilience. Uncertainty doesn't paralyze you, and you deal with setbacks quickly.
• You analyze enough to make good decisions - but not so long that the momentum is gone.
• You can lead people, create trust and win over different stakeholders for a common goal.
• You identify with the vision of work2stay and are ready to lead the company long-term and with full responsibility after financing.
• You can financially support the first phase yourself until financing.
• You communicate very confidently in German and well in English.

Benefits

The general conditions are transparent in advance

• You will not receive any salary or company shares until the agreed financing round is successfully closed.
• With the closing you will receive a 25% stake in work2stay before dilution through the round. The period from when you join will be counted towards the four-year vesting period.
• If the funding milestone is not reached within the agreed period, the investment commitment ends without the acquisition of shares.
• After successful financing, an appropriate CEO salary is part of the financial plan.
