Remote Banyan Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Remote | United States

Our portfolio is growing continuously, with over 100 companies across healthcare, financial services, government, education, transportation, media, energy, manufacturing, and more. That growth creates new executive leadership opportunities on a regular basis.

We are always interested in connecting with exceptional CEOs and general managers in vertical SaaS. Product-led commercial operators who lead with AI-first conviction, reposition ahead of market pressure, and want to build something that lasts. If that sounds like you, we would love to get to know you now, with the future in mind.

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.

You are a product-led SaaS leader and commercial operator who leads with an AI-first mindset and is energized by the opportunity to create real, lasting business value. You have held executive responsibility at a vertical SaaS company with a track record of treating product as a primary strategic lever, building repeatable go-to-market motions, and leading your organization through at least one meaningful inflection point before the market forced the change. You proactively reposition ahead of market pressure, make strategic product and talent decisions for the long-term health of the business, and understand how to grow recurring revenue and protect the retention that makes it durable. AI is not a slide in your strategy deck; it is already changing how you think about where value comes from and what your product should become.

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.
• Shipped AI-embedded product capabilities with measurable customer outcomes, or led sustained AI experimentation with clear conviction about where it creates durable value. Has also embedded AI into how the business operates: decision-making, team workflows, go-to-market execution, or operational efficiency.
• 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.

A permanent home, not a portfolio play. We buy, hold, and grow software companies for life. We never resell. That permanence gives you the freedom to invest in product, talent, and market position on a time horizon that makes real strategic ambition possible. No three-to-five-year clock. No pressure to optimize for exit at the expense of long-term value.

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 how to build your team, price your product, or run your go-to-market.

A personal approach. Banyan operates like a family office, not a financial sponsor. We care about the companies we acquire, the people who built them, and the teams who run them. You will work with people who understand vertical market software and respect what makes each business unique.

Legacy and continuity. We preserve the brand, the identity, and the culture of the companies we acquire. The employees and customers who depend on the business are part of why we invested in the first place. You are building on a foundation that will be protected, not consolidated or stripped for parts.

A peer network. A community of portfolio company CEOs navigating the same challenges: AI adoption, product-led growth, talent elevation, and building durable recurring revenue in specialized markets. You are not solving these problems alone.

This is a talent community for ongoing and future opportunities in our portfolio, not an active requisition. If your background aligns with what we are looking for, one of our Executive Talent Acquisition Partners will reach out to introduce themselves and start the conversation. From there, the goal is to build a relationship so that when the right opportunity opens in our portfolio, we are ready to move quickly, together.

If you see yourself in this description and are energized by the idea of leading a vertical SaaS business with real autonomy, permanent backing, and the time to build something that lasts, we want to hear from you.
