CEO of Publishing, Mergers and Acquisitions

We’re now launching a new Publishing and M&A business focused on partnering with external app developers, acquiring and scaling products with strong growth potential. This is a true greenfield initiative with substantial capital, full executive support, and access to AIBY’s ecosystem of talent, data, and infrastructure.

We’re looking for an entrepreneurial Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to build this business from the ground up. You’ill shape the vision, define the strategy, build and lead the team, and own the P&L. This is a rare opportunity to create a category-defining publishing engine backed by AIBY.
 

What you will do:

• Build the Publishing and M&A function almost from zero: set the vision, define the strategy, establish the foundation to scale fast
• Own the P&L: set targets, drive revenue, margins, and ensure strong performance across the publishing and M&A portfolio
• Create the organization: design and scale the operating model, establish processes, hire top talent, and shape the team structure
• Develop a high-quality pipeline: evaluate products, teams, and mobile app developers; participate in sourcing and assessing potential partnerships and acquisitions; negotiate deals with external studios
• Drive cross-functional alignment: collaborate closely with UA, Growth, BI, ASO, Legal, and other in-house teams, ensuring seamless coordination with external development partners
• Represent the business at the executive level: work directly with AIBY’s founders to execute the long-term strategy

What you should have:

• 8+ years of experience in Product, Product Marketing, Growth, Publishing, or related roles within the mobile app industry
• 3+ years in leadership roles such as CEO, VP, Product Director, CPO, CMO, Head of UA, Head of Publishing, or similar
• Proven ability to evaluate a product’s potential, assess product and team quality, and identify strengths and weaknesses of mobile app developers
• Deep understanding of the consumer subscription app market, its dynamics, and competitive landscape
• Proven 0→1 track record: launching new business units, building functions from scratch, scaling early-stage products to meaningful revenue, or founding a startup
• Mentality: ownership, clarity, decisiveness, speed, and persistence

Will be a plus:

• Experience with Publishing or M&A deals in the mobile app industry

What we offer:

• Full ownership of a high-impact, strategically important business, with direct influence on long-term value creation
• Top-tier compensation and a transparent bonus system with clear short-term and long-term goals
• A remote-friendly work environment
