The Role 

We are looking for a Business Transformation Leader to spearhead value creation across Fluent Software Group’s growing portfolio.

You’ll translate best practices into measurable impact, helping businesses scale smarter, faster, and more profitably. 

This is a senior, high-visibility opportunity for a bold change leader who thrives in dynamic, founder-led environments. You’ll combine strategic vision with operational execution, influence cross-functional stakeholders, and deliver tangible results in a decentralized setting where ownership and impact go hand in hand.

• Work with business leaders to embed AI into standard operating procedures, improving efficiency, decision-making, and scalability 
• Ensure AI adoption aligns with Valsoft best practices, focusing on practical, value-driven use cases rather than experimentation for its own sake

• Build and maintain post-integration forecasts based on diligence findings and transformation initiatives 
• Support executive decision-making with clear insights, structured recommendations, and data-driven analysis 
 
 
What We’re Looking For 
• Proven experience in business transformation, post-merger integration, consulting, or operational leadership within the software industry 
• Proven experience leading cross-functional initiatives across pricing, professional services, product/R&D, or operations 
• Strong understanding of SaaS or software business models 
• Experience implementing process improvements or digital/AI-enabled transformations
