We are toogeza, a Ukrainian recruiting company that is focused on hiring talents and building teams for tech startups worldwide. People make a difference in the big game; we may help to find the right ones.
We’re looking for a strategic leader with an entrepreneurial mindset and hands-on experience scaling digital products. This is not just a CEO in title — it's a business architect capable of transforming a tech product with an active user base into a systematic, scalable, and monetizable business.
Key Responsibilities:
Conduct a comprehensive audit of the product’s current state: functionality, team, user base, marketing, and analytics.
Develop and align with the founder a 12–24 month business strategy and roadmap.
Set a primary growth focus (user base or revenue) and define key success metrics.
Launch and iterate on growth experiments: acquisition channels, referral mechanics, partnerships, monetization models.
Ensure growth of at least 30–40% in a key metric (MAU or revenue) within the first 3 months.
Implement an operating model: goal structure, KPIs, workflows, and regular reporting.
Build a growth & marketing engine: cross-promo, SEO, etc.
Design and implement a sustainable monetization model (paid features, premium access, Web3 integrations, etc.).
Lead a cross-functional team (product, dev, marketing, design) with a trust-based, non-micromanagement approach.
Initiate and develop partnerships, consider collaborations and growth through business development.
Prepare the company for its next phase: investment round or capitalization via M&A.
Key Requirements:
Experience as a CEO, Head of Product, or Founding Team member in digital, mobile, or Web3 products, especially in B2C.
Proven track record of scaling digital products, including mobile apps.
Deep understanding of the Telegram ecosystem: product distribution, channel and bot mechanics, user behavior.
Expertise in growth mechanics: organic loops, virality, referral systems, MLM models — both standard and non-traditional.
Strong command of product and business metrics: retention, LTV, CAC, PMF, conversion, funnels, ARPU.
Experience building or adapting business models and unit economics, including profit forecasting, budget planning, and ROI management.
Business acumen: ability to identify market potential, craft compelling value propositions, build monetization and go-to-market strategies.
Entrepreneurial initiative and results-driven: capable of independently launching initiatives and driving them to completion.
Cross-functional leadership experience: product, engineering, marketing, design — built on trust and systems, not micromanagement.
Strategic planning and communication skills, strong prioritization, and the ability to lead through ambiguity to clear business results.
Bonus Points For:
Experience in Web3 / crypto projects/tokenomics
Track record with Telegram-native products: Notcoin, StepN, Hamster Kombat, etc.
International market experience: launching in EMEA, LATAM, SEA
What We Offer:
Access to a live, organically growing user base of 3.5M+ — no need to start from scratch.
A formed technical team (engineering, product, design, QA) ready to scale and implement change.
Autonomy in decision-making, strategic ownership, and operational leadership.
Direct collaboration with the founder and influence on key decisions without bureaucracy.
A blank canvas for executing a strong strategy — no entrenched blockers, but with resources and potential.
A path to building a $100M+ business, leveraging a unique entry point into the Telegram ecosystem.
