President / Operator (Co-Founder Opportunity)
Location: Remote (U.S. Preferred)
Job Type: Full-Time
Compensation: Equity + Profit Priority (no salary until profitable) + Long-Term Ownership
Build Something Extraordinary
Splashly is looking for an exceptional President / Operator to help build an AI software company from an early-stage business into an industry-leading company.
This is not a traditional executive position.
We're looking for a true operating partner—someone who has already helped scale a high-growth SaaS company and wants the opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up.
If you're looking for a comfortable corporate executive role, this isn't it.
If you're excited by building teams, solving difficult problems, creating systems, and helping lead a company toward a nine-figure exit, we'd love to talk.
About Splashly
Splashly is an AI-powered marketing platform that helps businesses:
• Create better marketing faster
• Test more ideas without expensive production costs
• Identify winning ads and emails before wasting advertising dollars
• Scale successful marketing with greater speed and confidence
Our mission is simple:
Make marketing easier, faster, and more profitable.
Current stage:
• MVP launching in July
• Over 6,000 users on our pre-launch email list
• Existing paying customers from a previous version of the platform
• Bootstrapped with no outside investors
• Lean founding team with significant growth potential
Responsibilities
As President / COO, you'll serve as the operational leader of the business.
Responsibilities include:
• Leading day-to-day operations
• Building scalable systems and processes
• Meeting with early adopters
• Hiring, developing, and leading high-performing teams
• Driving execution across the organization
• Establishing operational accountability
• Helping shape product and business strategy
• Working directly with the founder to execute the long-term vision
• Building the operational foundation required to scale to a major exit
Required Qualifications
We're specifically looking for someone who has:
• Played a significant leadership role in scaling a SaaS company from an early stage to a $50M+ valuation (preferred $100M+)
• Experience building teams, systems, and operational infrastructure
• Strong leadership and decision-making abilities
• A track record of creating accountability and operational excellence
• Exceptional communication skills
• High integrity and strong personal values
Experience as a Founder, President, COO, Head of Operations, VP of Operations, VP of Marketing or similar executive leadership role is highly valued.
The Person We're Looking For
The ideal candidate:
• Thinks like an owner, not an employee
• Loves building companies from the ground up
• Thrives in fast-moving startup environments
• Is humble, coachable, and continuously learning
• Raises the standard for everyone around them
• Leads by example
• Enjoys solving difficult problems
• Is motivated by creating lasting impact—not just personal success
Compensation Structure
This is a long-term ownership opportunity designed for someone who wants to build significant value.
Compensation includes:
• Equity (based on experience and fit)
• Profit priority until reaching agreed upon salary, then profit sharing
• No salary until the company reaches profitability
This structure isn't for everyone.
It's intentionally designed for someone seeking ownership, long-term wealth creation, and the opportunity to help build an exceptional company.
Why Join Splashly?
You'll have the opportunity to:
• Help build an AI software company from the ground floor
• Work directly with an ambitious founding team who values collaboration and continuous learning
• Shape company culture from day one
• Build and lead an exceptional team
• Own a meaningful portion of the business
• Create something with the potential to generate significant long-term value
How to Apply
Please include:
• A summary of your SaaS leadership experience
• Companies you've helped scale
• Your role in those companies' growth
• One operational challenge you're particularly proud of solving
• Why this opportunity interests you
We're not looking to fill a position quickly.
We're looking for the right long-term partner to help build an extraordinary company.
