Chief Executive Officer - Vertical SaaS - Ongoing & Future Opportunities

About the role

As CEO of a Banyan portfolio company, you would lead the full business, owning strategy, product direction, go-to-market execution, team performance, and P&L outcomes. You would report to a Banyan Operating Partner and have full operational authority over how you run the company day to day. Our companies serve specific industries with mission-critical software. Customers depend on the product daily and rarely leave. The business has to be durable, the product has to be the primary competitive advantage, and the opportunity to create structural distance through AI is real. The scope will vary by company, but the mandate stays the same: grow recurring revenue, protect the retention that makes it durable, and lead the business through whatever comes next.

Requirements

• Qualifications for Success:
• Owned the P&L and operational outcomes for a B2B SaaS organization, business unit or function, driving direct accountability for revenue growth, retention profiles, and margin expansion.
• Built a repeatable go-to-market engine, establishing scalable sales and expansion motions within a vertical or enterprise SaaS environment.
• Led an organization through a meaningful inflection point (a product repositioning, a pricing model redesign, a market expansion) before the market forced the change.
• Delivered measurable structural improvements to net revenue retention and pricing power, turning margin durability from a strategic priority into a realized business outcome.
• Elevated talent density by hiring and developing talent to fundamentally shift the organization's performance trajectory.
• Served as the primary executive voice for board members, investors, and key stakeholders, maintaining influence far beyond the standard sales cycle.
• Why a Banyan Operating Company
• Autonomy with backing. How you run the business is your call. We operate with a collaborative, decentralized culture where the entrepreneurial spirit of each company stays intact. We provide capital, shared services, and a network of operating partners. We do not tell you h
