What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chief Executive Officer position at Lead Artisan?
The Role
Our client is an AI technology company with a fresh nine-figure capital raise and a valuation placing them among the elite tier of startups. Backed by premier investors, they are entering a transformative phase shifting from visionary inception to operational scale and market dominance.
We’re seeking a seasoned Chief Executive Officer to take the helm. This is not a learn-on-the-job CEO role. We're looking for a leader who has already been at the top commanded teams, navigated fundraising, executed exits or scaled through hypergrowth, and knows how to build an enduring company.
This is your chance to shape the trajectory of a generational AI company.
What You’ll Own
- Vision to Execution: Drive company strategy, marrying long-term AI innovation with immediate go-to-market wins.
- Fundraising & Investor Relations: Lead capital strategy with top-tier VCs and strategics; keep the board and backers aligned and energized.
- Team Leadership: Build, lead, and scale a world-class executive team and company culture rooted in excellence, velocity, and trust.
- Operational Maturity: Implement and scale systems that drive performance across engineering, product, GTM, and operations.
- Market Positioning: Act as the face of the company on stage, in the press, with customers, and with institutional partners.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven CEO Experience: You’ve been the CEO (or equivalent top operator) of a high-growth technology company preferably venture-backed and ideally in the tech space.
- VC Fluency: Deep understanding of the venture capital ecosystem and a track record of successful fundraising.
- AI Credibility: You understand the now and next of AI. You’re not just AI-literate you’re fluent, with a strong point of view on how it changes industries.
- Execution Mastery: History of scaling companies from early or growth-stage to maturity, with an operational playbook and strong internal cadence.
- Gravitas: A leader who commands trust in the boardroom, credibility with talent, and clarity in crisis.
Why This Role
- Market Timing: AI is at a tipping point. This company is capitalized, positioned, and staffed to move fast and win big.
- Ownership & Upside: With a meaningful equity package and a clear growth runway, this is a rare wealth-building opportunity.
- Legacy & Impact: Build not just a company, but an institution that defines the AI era.
Total package: Salary, equity, performance bonuses, and incentives
