• Leading the product development process in collaboration with engineering and AI teams,

• Designing the go-to-market strategy and initial sales approach,

• 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.

• 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,

• Experience building projects, products, or startups from scratch,

• Strong understanding of current technology and AI trends,

• Entrepreneurial mindset and strong ownership attitude,

• Proven ability to identify market opportunities and translate them into product or business ideas,

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills,

• 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.

• 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.

• 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,

• Cooperation with an experienced start-up studio (20+ years of experience),

• Remuneration - at least PLN 17,000 Net B2B + VAT,
