JOB TITLE: Chief Executive Officer – Fundraising & M&A; Specialist
COMPANY: Icons of Real Estate
LOCATION: Remote
EMPLOYMENT TYPE: Full-Time
ABOUT ICONS OF REAL ESTATE
Icons of Real Estate is a fast-growing podcast production platform and SaaS marketplace serving real estate professionals across the United States. We operate 100+ active podcasts, book approximately 100 agent guests per week, and run a two-sided marketplace connecting podcast hosts with real estate agent guests. Our platform (The HUB) manages the full production and booking pipeline for our clients.
We are a lean, profitable, remote-first business with a clear strategic vision: scale aggressively and position the company for a significant exit with the right strategic acquirer in the real estate technology space.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is not a typical CEO hire.
We are looking for an experienced operator who wants to step into a CEO role, spearhead a $1M growth raise as their first act, and then run the company through to a strategic exit — with a meaningful financial reward tied to the outcome.
Compensation & Execution Structure:
- Phase 1 (Months 0–4): Lead and close a $1M growth round within 120 days by leveraging your existing investor relationships alongside ours. During this phase, we provide a $2,000–$3,000/month draw to keep you fully focused. Upon successful close of the round, you receive a $40,000 milestone bonus paid immediately.
- Phase 2 (Post-Raise): Full-time CEO role kicks in at an $8,000–$9,000/month base salary, funded directly from the raised capital.
- Exit Bonus: A meaningful performance bonus tied to the company's sale price, structured as a percentage of proceeds above a baseline valuation. On a strong exit, this represents a life-changing financial upside.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Spearhead and close a $1M growth round within 120 days using active investor networks.
- Take full operational ownership of the business — leading team, platform, client success, and overall growth strategy.
- Partner with the founding team to execute key expansion levers: paid acquisition, product development, and strategic partnerships.
- Position the company for a strategic acquisition and manage relationships with potential acquirers and M&A; advisors.
- Build, lead, and scale a lean, distributed remote team across multiple time zones.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR Non-Negotiables:
- M&A; Experience: You have personally been through at least one company acquisition (ideally sell-side) and thoroughly understand the sell-side due diligence process.
- Fundraising Track Record: Direct experience raising capital (Angel, Seed, or Growth rounds) with an active network of investors ready to engage.
- Remote Leadership: Proven success managing a distributed team of 5–20 people in a lean, high-autonomy environment.
- Availability: Ready to commit full-time to driving this opportunity forward.
Strongly Preferred:
- Experience in SaaS, digital media, two-sided marketplaces, or PropTech.
- Based in Latin America or Eastern Europe for optimal timezone alignment with an Australian founding team and US client base.
- Established network within US real estate or PropTech ecosystems.
WHAT YOU GET
- $2,000–$3,000/month draw during the 120-day fundraising period.
- $40,000 success bonus immediately upon closing the $1M round.
- $8,000–$9,000/month base salary post-funding.
- Substantial Exit Bonus structured to reward the growth and enterprise value you build.
- Clear 12–24-month exit horizon with full operational authority to run and scale the business.
HOW TO APPLY To apply, please send a brief message or submit your application with a short note answering these 3 questions:
1. Fundraising: Outline one raise you personally led or co-led (amount, structure, and outcome).
2. M&A; Experience: Describe one acquisition event you were part of (your role and outcome).
3. Fit: Briefly explain why this risk/reward structure aligns with your current career goals.
