Future Portfolio CEO

About the role

The role of CEO within the Curious portfolio is one of the most exciting opportunities we offer. Portfolio CEOs act as true owners of the businesses we acquire and partner with, operating with a high degree of autonomy and responsibility. You will drive the future of the company — building your team, shaping product direction, and leading go-to-market and revenue strategy — with support from the Curious Head Office team.

Core Responsibilities

• Establish a clear vision for the business, including the strategy and steps required to achieve it
• Build and hire a high-performing team aligned with that vision
• Partner with Curious finance to develop financial projections and identify growth opportunities
• Design and implement incentive structures that align the team with long-term success
• Carry forward and build upon the foundation set by the founders we partner with

Who We’re Looking For

Our ideal candidate has hands-on experience operating within a startup environment — this is a non-negotiable. You are self-driven, resourceful, and capable of charting your own path. You’ve led or been deeply involved in revenue functions (sales, marketing, customer success), have owned or influenced a P&L, and have experience building and leading teams.

What To Expect

This is not always an immediate hire — timing will depend on acquisitions and portfolio needs. We review every application carefully and prioritize building long-term relationships with strong operators. If there’s alignment, we may reach out quickly or reconnect down the line as opportunities emerge.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and benefits
• High autonomy and true ownership of outcomes
• Remote-first environment
• Opportunity to work alongside ambitious, thoughtful operators
• Long-term growth across the Curious ecosystem

Our Values

• Decades, Not Days
• Relentlessly Curious
• Simply Transparent
• Fully Autonomous
• Once Curious, Always Curious
• Adversity Seekers
