[Hiring] President @Korrus

Role Description

This is the person who runs execution across the company.

• The CEO currently spends roughly half his time driving granular execution across sales, marketing, engineering, operations, and manufacturing. Your mandate is to take that to zero.
• Be the operator who makes the organization hum.
• You will work with product development, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, finance, and sales.
• You will sit above the functional layer, with a direct mandate from the CEO and the standing to drive any function to a result, without borrowing anyone else's authority to do it.
• This is a senior operating role for someone who has already run hard things and can hold a room of senior people accountable.

Qualifications

• You have run real things and want to run more.
• You have carried complex, cross-functional work to a result you owned, and you are looking for a company where the whole business is the canvas rather than one function.
• You are an operator who builds.
• You do not just direct the work; you have built the systems, the products, or the automation yourself, and you are fluent enough to challenge an engineer or an operator on the merits.
• You want the number-two seat.
• You want proximity to every decision and the authority to act on it.
• You have something to prove.
• You would rather own the outcome, with your name on it, than build the recommendation and watch someone else run with it.

Requirements

• Proven senior execution.
• You have carried complex, cross-functional work to a result you were accountable for, with no formal authority over most of the people involved.
• You can point to outcomes you owned, not initiatives you supported.
• A builder's hands.
• You have built things yourself, product, systems, or both.
• You can sit in an engineering or operations review and challenge an estimate on the merits rather than defer to the room.
• Hardware and manufacturing fluency.
• You are comfortable on a factory floor and in a supply chain, and you understand what it takes to make and ship a physical product.
• Meaningful, hands-on use of AI.
• You are genuinely fluent with modern AI tools and agentic workflows in how you actually work.
• Ideally, you have built something with them that other people came to rely on, not a line on a skills list.
• Presence and edge.
• You can command a room of senior people and drive action.
• Business acumen.
• Real comfort with a P&L and general fluency with financial statements.

Benefits

• Contract-to-hire. We treat the first stretch as a mutual trial, because trust and fit at this level cannot be judged in an interview. Strong performance converts to a permanent role.
• Compensation commensurate with the seniority of the role and the trial structure, discussed directly.
• Remote (US), with meaningful overlap with Pacific working hours and travel to Southern California and to sites as the work requires.
• Reports to the CEO.

To be considered

• Send us your resume.
• Briefly describe a time you were responsible for something you had no authority over and got it done anyway.
