About Flex Up

Flex Up is reinventing the way businesses are built, run, and shared.

We are developing a comprehensive ecosystem designed to help entrepreneurs and companies start, manage, and grow their businesses in a way that is simpler, more resilient, and fundamentally more equitable.

Our ecosystem rests on three pillars

• An
• Innovative
• Economic

Model: A universal remuneration framework where profits and voting rights are distributed based on actual contributions and risk taken – not status, seniority, or negotiating power.

Every stakeholder – founders, team members, investors, suppliers, and clients – participates under the same transparent rules.

• A Powerful
• Business

App: An integrated Saa S platform to manage contracts, orders, cash flow, and equity distribution, turning complex business operations into a seamless experience.

• A Collaborative Network: A growing community of professionals, advisors, and investors aligned around shared values and mutual success.

About the Role

This is not a traditional marketing hire. This is a partner‑level leadership role.

Flex Up’s founder and CEO is a technical builder – the architect behind the economic model, the legal framework, and the app.

What’s missing is an equally driven counterpart on the commercial and strategic side: someone who can take a powerful product and turn it into a thriving business.

As Chief Growth Officer & Partner, you will be the driving force behind everything that brings Flex Up to the world: market positioning, brand building, demand generation, business development, strategic partnerships, customer acquisition and retention, and revenue growth.

This is a leadership role with real equity, real decision‑making authority, and a direct seat at the table.

You and the CEO will form the core leadership duo steering Flex Up’s growth.

• Define and execute Flex Up’s global go‑to‑market strategy across segments (entrepreneurs, startups, SMEs, corporates, investors, service providers).
• Draft a clear, differentiated market positioning for Flex Up’s economic model, platform, and community.
• Own brand strategy, messaging architecture, and storytelling across all channels and touchpoints.
• Build Flex Up’s thought‑leadership presence, positioning the company as a category creator for an equitable business infrastructure.
• Business Development & Strategic Partnerships.
• Identify, negotiate, and close strategic partnerships (incubators, accelerators, professional networks, institutional partners, franchise opportunities).
• Develop and execute a franchise and licensing strategy to scale Flex Up’s model across geographies and verticals.
• Build relationships with ecosystem players – investors, advisors, media, government programs – to accelerate adoption.
• Customer Acquisition, Onboarding & Growth.
• Design and scale a multi‑channel acquisition engine (content marketing, SEO, social media, PR, events, referral programs, paid campaigns).
• Own the full customer lifecycle: acquisition, onboarding, activation, retention, expansion (cross‑selling, up‑selling), and advocacy.
• Build and optimize demand generation strategies targeting qualified leads across all stakeholder segments.
• Define and track growth KPIs (CAC, LTV, MQL/SQL pipeline, activation rates, churn, NPS, revenue per account).
• Revenue & Commercial Operations.
• Drive revenue generation through subscription growth, platform adoption, and advisory services monetization.
• Develop pricing and packaging strategies in collaboration with the CEO.
• Support fundraising efforts: investor communications, pitch materials, market narratives, and due diligence support.
• Team Building.
• Build and lead the commercial team over time – marketing, business development, customer success, partnerships – through internal hires, agencies, and freelancers.
• Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering to ensure market feedback shapes the product roadmap.

Who We Are Looking For

• 15+ years of experience spanning marketing, business development, and commercial leadership, with a track record at the C‑level or senior VP level.
• Proven experience building and scaling a commercial function from early stage to growth phase – ideally as a founding team member, first commercial hire, or head of growth at a startup or scale‑up.
• Deep expertise across brand strategy, go‑to‑market execution, demand generation, and business development.
• Experience in B2B Saa S, platforms, marketplaces, or ecosystem businesses.
• Strong strategic thinker who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves – you’ve operated in resource‑constrained environments and know how to do a lot with a little.
• Ability to translate complex economic and technical concepts into compelling, clear narratives that resonate with diverse audiences (founders, corporate executives, investors, policymakers).
• Experience with strategic partnerships, channel development, franchising, or licensing is a significant plus.
• Experience supporting or leading fundraising rounds (seed to Series A/B) and investor relations.
• Exceptional communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Entrepreneurial mindset: you think like an owner, act with urgency, and are energized by building something from the ground up.
• Mission‑driven: you are genuinely motivated by the idea of creating a fairer, more transparent way of doing business.

Your initial compensation will be 100% in Flex Up equity (Credits and Tokens) during the first phase (≈6 months), until we raise external funding or begin generating revenues.

This is not a compromise – it’s how partners build together.

You will accumulate equity on the same terms as the founding team, under Flex Up’s own economic model, where your stake grows in direct proportion to your contributions and the risk you take.

This is not a hire – it’s a partnership.

You will join as the commercial counterpart to a technical founder, with real decision‑making authority, meaningful equity, and the freedom to shape the company’s trajectory.

Very few roles offer this level of ownership and impact.
