Ready to Lead the Sustainability Tech Revolution?
Do you want to architect solutions for the most pressing issue of our generation while driving the technical vision of a breakthrough sustainability platform? Are you an exceptional technology leader with deep expertise in SaaS development and the strategic vision of a co-founder? We're offering a rare opportunity to join LevelUp ESG as a late co-founder with significant equity, leading our technical strategy and innovation as we scale.
About LevelUp ESG
LevelUp ESG is an AI-powered ERP for sustainability that makes sustainability data as credible and accessible as financial data through our comprehensive platform. We've built the 'Oracle of ESG'— Unlike fragmented point solutions, we provide a single source of truth where sustainability data is centralized, validated, and transformed into strategic insights—from carbon management to intelligent analytics, and regulatory reporting. We deliver superior data integrity, risk management, and compliance solutions that enable meaningful sustainable and resilient business operations.
The Role: Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
This is not your typical executive hire. We're seeking a visionary technical leader to join us with late co-founder status and meaningful equity. This role combines deep technical expertise with strategic business acumen, giving you a seat at the founding table and significant influence over our company's future.
Your Strategic Mandate:
* Technical Vision: Define and execute our technical strategy from the ground up, with founder-level autonomy and ownership.
* Platform Development: Continue to enhance our AI-powered ESG platform.
* Engineering Excellence: Build, lead, and mentor a world-class engineering team that delivers exceptional solutions.
* Architecture Innovation: Design scalable, secure, and performant systems that will support our global growth.
* Founding Team Collaboration: Work directly with the CEO, COO and other leaders to shape our overall business strategy and capital allocation.
* Technology Partnerships: Identify and secure strategic technical alliances that accelerate our innovation roadmap.
* Investor Relations: Partner with the CEO on fundraising efforts, leveraging your technical expertise and vision.
Your Experience & Qualities:
* SaaS Leadership: Proven executive-level experience building and scaling technical operations for B2B SaaS products, ideally in sustainability, ESG, ERP, or related sectors.
* Founder DNA: Entrepreneurial mindset with experience as a founder or early technical leader at a successful startup.
* Technical Expertise: Deep understanding of cloud architecture, AI/ML, data analytics, and software development best practices.
* Strategic Vision: Ability to see around corners, anticipate technical trends, and position our solution for maximum impact.
* Execution Excellence: Track record of setting ambitious goals and consistently delivering results.
* Leadership Presence: Ability to represent the company with customers, partners, investors, and at industry events.
* Climate Commitment: Genuine passion for sustainability and using technology as a force for environmental impact.
The Opportunity:
* Significant Equity: True late co-founder equity package reflecting your strategic importance to our success.
* Executive Leadership: C-suite position with direct influence on company strategy and operations.
* Climate Impact: Opportunity to accelerate global sustainability efforts through technology innovation.
* Market Timing: Join at the inflection point of mandatory sustainability reporting and increased corporate climate action.
* Flexibility: Option for full-time or structured part-time arrangement as we transition you into the organization.
Why This Role Is Different:
We're not simply filling a position—we're adding a missing piece to our founding team. The right candidate will bring complementary technical skills to our commercial and product expertise, with the vision to help us capture the massive market opportunity ahead.
As CTO, you'll have founder-level input into strategic decisions, significant equity reflecting your late co-founder status, and the autonomy to build the technical foundation that will drive our innovation and growth.
