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.
  • Own the Revenue Number: Take full accountability for Bluefish's top-line growth across all revenue streams - new logo, expansion, renewal, and agency.

  • The CRO must be able to operate with precision and rigor in a highly complex, fast-moving enterprise sales environment.

  • Proven revenue scaling from early stage to $100M ARR - must have taken a company through this band as the senior revenue leader. Not adjacent to it. Actually done it.
  • Full revenue function ownership - has led more than just new logo sales. Prior accountability for customer success, growth, or agency in addition to new business is required. This is a CRO role in scope and expectation.
  • Fortune 500 enterprise sales at the executive buyer level - direct experience selling to CMOs, Chief Marketing Officers, and C-suite marketing leaders at the world's largest brands. Understands how billion-dollar marketing organizations make decisions.
  • Deep martech or ad tech domain fluency - knows the landscape being disrupted, the incumbents' weaknesses, and how enterprise marketing stacks are bought and built. Has a map to the castle inside Fortune 500 marketing organizations.
  • Outbound and direct enterprise GTM - has built a scalable go-to-market motion that combines direct brand relationships with a structured outbound engine. Theory is not enough; execution is the requirement.
  • Team builder and people developer - has hired, structured, and developed a VP-level revenue leadership team. Knows what great looks like at every level and has the track record to prove it.
  • Analytical horsepower - Bluefish will push hard on IQ. The CRO must be able to operate with precision and rigor in a highly complex, fast-moving enterprise sales environment. Expect to be tested on it.
  • New York-based - strong preference for NY-based candidates given the concentration of the commercial team and customer base.

  • Builder in Motion: Comfortable operating in the ambiguity of a fast-growing company that is still establishing its systems.
