Job description

Founding CEO : Lead the Next Breakthrough in Industrial Tech with UP.Labs

If you've built and exited a successful Industrial SaaS, Smart Manufacturing or data-driven company—and are eager to do it again—this is your moment to found something game-changing that includes structural advantages beyond the dreams of most startups.

We're looking for a CEO to build and scale an industrial software company from day one, in partnership with our corporate partner, a leading manufacturer of trailers, truck bodies, and parts.

This is a rare opportunity to lead a venture that starts with :

  • A real industry problem with immediate, measurable value
  • A committed enterprise customer base
  • Capital from tier-one VCs (with flexibility to bring your own backers)
  • Full founder equity and support from the UP.Labs platform

Why Build With UP.Labs

  • Enterprise traction from day one. You will be joining a startup team, with a product already in pilot / market, being built by an UP.Labs team of product, GTM and engineering leaders. You’re solving a problem validated by our corporate partner and the broader ecosystem.
  • Accelerated path to exit. Our portfolio companies are structured to scale fast with capital efficiency—targeting liquidity in 3–4 years.
  • Founder-level equity. A competitive base salary and a meaningful ownership stake from day one.
  • Backed by the best. Work alongside institutional investors, UP.Partners, and top corporate LPs.
  • World-class infrastructure. Tap into product, engineering, legal, recruiting, and GTM support from the UP.Labs operating team.
  • What You’ll Build

    You’ll lead one of two vertical AI startups (based on final match and interest), each of which is already in motion. There will be an ‘in-residence’ component where you will help shape the opportunity with the ‘problem-hunting’ team as you transition into the CEO role.

  • Transforming custom sales in manufacturing starting with intelligent CPQ (configure, price, quote)
  • Intelligent production planning & scheduling for midsize manufacturers
  • Building the backbone service infrastructure of tomorrow’s autonomous fleets
  • Aftermarket parts - predicting demand, automating fulfillment, and eliminating downtime.
  • Your Role

    You’ll serve as founding CEO—setting the direction, building the team, and owning outcomes. This is a hands-on role for someone who can go from zero to scale with urgency, clarity, and grit.

    Responsibilities :

  • Own and drive strategy, operations, and execution—P&L, GTM, and beyond
  • Recruit and lead a top-tier team across engineering, product, and sales
  • Translate complex supply chain and logistics problems into world-class software
  • Build deep partnerships with customers, particularly inside the corporate partner ecosystem
  • Partner with UP.Labs product and venture teams to unlock value quickly and intentionally
  • Raise capital, drive growth, and lead the company to exit
  • You Might Be a Fit If You’ve :

  • Founded or scaled a B2B SaaS or data platform, ideally with a manufacturing, industrial, logistics or supply chain focus
  • Sold into or worked with complex enterprises (OEMs, distribution, or partner networks)
  • Built AI / ML-enabled platforms or have a sharp eye for building defensible data moats
  • Closed enterprise customers and maintained long-term commercial relationships
  • Led a company through Series A+ or to a successful exit
  • Built and inspired exceptional, diverse teams under pressure
  • Location : Major Metro Preferred
