Cordance is dedicated to accelerating the growth of vertically focused business-to-business (B2B) software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies through acquisition and long-term tactical and financial guidance. We’re experienced operators and subject-matter experts with a passion for software and building businesses. We partner with founders to help them scale their businesses and realize their companies’ full potential.
We look for businesses with strong leadership and high potential for profitable growth, and work together to increase year-over-year revenue, company efficiency, and impact. Cordance envisions that all companies we work with achieve their full potential. We embrace what makes each company great and build on those foundations. We believe in elevating a company as it scales, delivering dignity to the organization and its employees, and sharing a passion for building a legacy.
Cordance is seeking a strategic, execution-minded General Manager to work across multiple SaaS businesses as we expand our business units. This role is designed for a leader who can partner closely with P&L owners, helping them understand what’s working, what’s not, and where change is needed. You’ll be both a trusted advisor and a driver of operational improvements bringing clarity, accountability, and a results-oriented approach to each business you support.
The ideal candidate will blend PE or PE-backed operating experience, strong change management skills, and the ability to navigate complexity in small, fast-moving organizations. This role is well-suited to someone scrappy yet sophisticated, able to go deep in the details while maintaining a portfolio-level view. There is considerable upside for growth as we scale our business units and expand our operational footprint.
This is a fully remote role; all candidates must be based in the U.S.
What You’ll Do
- Act as a senior partner to Presidents or business unit leaders across 2–4 SaaS companies, combining strategic insight with hands-on involvement to assess performance, identify opportunities, and drive results
- Conduct targeted diagnostics to uncover operational bottlenecks, cost inefficiencies, and value-creation levers
- Guide and support leaders in implementing changes to team structure, processes, and strategy
- Contribute to GTM strategy refinements, pricing and packaging adjustments, and customer retention initiatives
- Establish and maintain KPI tracking frameworks tied to EBITDA, gross margin, NRR, and other SaaS metrics
- Facilitate consistent performance reviews and cross-unit knowledge sharing to raise overall portfolio performance
- Build trusted relationships with business unit leaders to encourage openness, alignment, and follow-through
What You Bring
- Deep experience operating within B2B SaaS businesses is essential; candidates without SaaS fluency will face a steep learning curve
- Track record of driving results in PE-backed or multi-entity SaaS portfolios
- Demonstrated success improving EBITDA through cost efficiency, GTM optimization, and organizational alignment
- Strong change management orientation, able to lead leaders through strategic, cultural, and operational shifts
- Financial fluency across SaaS unit economics: CAC, LTV, churn, retention, gross margin
- Ability to influence without direct P&L ownership, using credibility, data, and insight to drive decisions
- Comfortable working across multiple companies in fast-paced, high-change environments
What Will Help You Stand Out
- Recognized as both a trusted advisor and a force multiplier for other leaders
- Experience navigating PE SaaS environments
- Versatility across product, GTM, finance, and customer experience disciplines
- Playbook familiarity with value creation in lower middle market or founder-led companies
