About the role
- Bluefish is hiring its first Chief Revenue Officer - the most senior hire the company will ever make.
Responsibilities
- Own the Revenue Number: Take full accountability for Bluefish's top-line growth across all revenue streams - new logo, expansion, renewal, and agency. Build the plan that reaches $100M ARR and execute against it relentlessly.
- Lead the Full Revenue Organization: Oversee and develop all customer-facing teams: new logo acquisition, customer success and retention, growth and land-and-expand, and agency partnerships.
- Build the VP layer below you and develop the leaders who run each function.
- The CRO will be personally involved in the highest-value enterprise relationships - working alongside the founders at CMO and C-suite level until the team can own those relationships independently.
- Build the Go-to-Market Engine: Define and execute the GTM strategy across direct brand and agency channels.
- Build the outbound motion, establish the operating cadence, and create the forecasting and pipeline infrastructure that makes revenue predictable at scale.
- Develop the Agency Channel: Bluefish's agency relationships - Omnicom, Dentsu, and others - represent a meaningful and growing portion of revenue.
- The CRO will build a deliberate strategy for deepening those partnerships while protecting the brand-direct motion that is core to Bluefish's differentiation.
- Build the Leadership Team: Hire and develop the VP layer across each revenue function. Establish the performance culture, define what great looks like at every level, and hold the organization to it.
