We’re hiring a commercially‑minded Managing Director to take full ownership of a UK social housing software business (~15 people). You’ll lead strategy, people, product, and P&L, working closely with a financially‑driven ownership / M&A group and positioning the business for scalable, profitable growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the P&L, cashflow, and growth plan for the business.
• Lead and develop a small, multi‑disciplinary team (sales, CS, product, engineering, ops).
• Drive ARR and EBITDA growth through pricing, upsell/cross‑sell, retention and new logo acquisition.
• Deepen relationships with social housing providers, councils, and housing associations; act as a visible, credible MD with customers.
• Shape and prioritise the product roadmap in response to regulatory change and customer needs.
• Implement data‑driven operating rhythms: KPIs, dashboards, monthly performance reviews, board packs.
• Work closely with the ownership / portfolio group on strategy, capital allocation, and potential bolt‑ons.
• Ensure strong governance, compliance, and risk management appropriate for public sector clients.

Ideal Profile

• Proven experience as a Managing Director / GM / BU Leader in B2B software, ideally vertical or public‑sector SaaS.
• Background in social housing sector software strongly preferred.
• Comfortable running a small, hands‑on organisation (c.15 people) – able to zoom between strategy and execution.
• Strong financial literacy: P&L ownership, budgeting, forecasting, KPI design.
• Must‑have / strong plus: experience working for an M&A or portfolio group (e.g. Lumine, Constellation, PE‑backed holdco) that acquires and scales smaller businesses within a wider portfolio.
• Commercially sharp: evidence of revenue growth, margin improvement, or successful turnaround.
• Clear, decisive leadership style with the ability to build culture and accountability in a remote‑first team.
