Small Business Ceo Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Remote (W-2) | Must reside in AZ, CO, FL, GA, IL, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, PA, TX, VA, or WA

Compensation: $110,000 Base + Performance Compensation | $182,000+ On-Target Total Compensation

This is an executive operating role, not a sales role, not a consulting/advisory role, and not a single-location management role. To be considered, you must be able to answer yes to all three:

1. Did you hold the title of CEO, President, GM, Operations Executive, or EOS Integrator - with that title, not an informal equivalent?
2. Did you carry direct, personal accountability for P&L or full operations of a company with $500K-$50M in annual revenue (not a single retail location, not a department, not a book of business)?
3. Is your career track record of leadership and execution - not sales, business development, or account management?

If you answered no to any of these, please don't apply - you won't be a fit, and we'd rather point you toward a role that is.

HTM (How To MANAGE a Small Law Firm) is the nation's leading provider of Fractional C-Suite services for solo and small law firms - recognized on the Inc. 5000 every year since 2013. As Fractional CEO, you become the outsourced CEO, COO, or President for a portfolio of law firm owners who can't otherwise afford full-time executive leadership.

This is full-time, W-2, and you are accountable for business results - the same way you'd be as an in-house CEO. We provide the client portfolio. There is no business development, no sales, no growing your own book of business.

• Build and execute business growth strategies with firm owners
• Improve profitability and cash flow
• Develop organizational structure and leadership teams
• Coach owners through strategic decisions - and stay accountable until results improve
• Help owners transition from working in the business to leading it

• 10+ years of executive leadership experience, with the title to prove it (CEO, President, GM, COO, Operations Executive, or EOS Integrator)
• Direct, personal ownership of P&L and/or operations for a company in the $500K-$50M+ revenue range - this must be a company-wide or division-wide scope, not a single store, branch, or territory
• Proven, measurable success improving profitability, cash flow, and business performance
• Experience building teams, systems, and organizational accountability
• Comfort managing multiple client relationships simultaneously

Bonus: you've personally taken a small business from under $500K through $3M, $5M, or $10M+ in revenue - we especially want to hear from you

• Your career background is primarily sales, business development, or account management - including SaaS sales, insurance sales, or any commission-driven role. This applies even if the role carried a leadership or "VP" title.
• Your operational experience is analyst-level (business analyst, RevOps, data/BI) rather than P&L ownership. Building dashboards or KPI systems for executives is not the same as being the accountable executive.
• Your management experience is confined to a single location (e.g., one retail store), rather than full company or multi-unit accountability.
• Your background is consulting or advisory only, without hands-on operational execution and accountability for results.
• You prefer large corporate environments with layered management and existing infrastructure.
• You avoid difficult conversations or accountability conversations with owners.
• You're looking for a traditional, single-company executive role.

• $110,000 Base Salary
• Performance Compensation | $182,000+ On-Target Total Compensation
• Medical, dental, vision (75% employer-paid)
• Company-paid short- and long-term disability
• 401(k) with company match
• Pet insurance, legal insurance
• Unlimited PTO + company closed Thanksgiving week + one additional mandatory paid week off
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Access to executive leadership and business development programs
• 100% Remote

You've already proven you can build and lead a business. Now apply that experience across multiple entrepreneurs who need an executive partner - without finding clients, selling services, or running your own consulting practice. Combine the stability of a full-time W-2 role with the variety of serving as CEO for multiple growing businesses.
