Mission of the role

The CEO drives C-SAR’s vision into execution—transforming a near-complete MVP into a scalable, market-ready platform for community-based search and rescue. The role leads strategy, structure, and growth while preserving and advancing the product vision defined by the inventor.

Key responsibilities

  • Develop and execute the go-to-market and commercialization strategy
  • Lead pilot programs with fire departments and SAR organizations
  • Build and manage the core operational team (tech, product, partnerships)
  • Secure funding and strategic partnerships
  • Establish operational processes, KPIs, and compliance standards (incl. data privacy)
  • Represent C-SAR externally with stakeholders, investors, and authorities
  • Align product roadmap with mission priorities and real-world field requirements
  • Ensure successful rollout from MVP to nationwide deployment and scaling

Required profile

  • Proven leadership in startups or mission-critical digital products
  • Experience in SaaS, emergency tech, gov-tech, or high-regulation environments
  • Strong strategic and execution skills from zero-to-one and scaling phases
  • Comfortable working in ambiguity and building structure rapidly
  • Excellent communication in German; fluent English for partners and international scaling
  • High accountability, resilience, and ability to operate in high-stakes contexts

Nice to have

  • Network in public safety, fire services, civil protection, or SAR organizations
  • Background in operations, crisis coordination, or field-driven product environments
  • Experience with VSOP-led teams and non-founder-led leadership models

What this role offers

  • Opportunity to lead a high-impact platform from launch phase
  • Direct influence on product, organization, and market direction
  • Close collaboration with the inventor as advisor (not operational)
  • Equity-based upside through VSOP tied to measurable milestones

The CEO will take ownership of building C-SAR into a category-defining solution while carrying forward the original vision with operational leadership and strategic clarity.
