# Managing Director > Valsoft Corporation · United States (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-08-12 **Workplace:** remote **Department:** General & Administration ## Description **Managing Director** Remote — Canada or United States     |     Full-time     |     Reports to: Managing Partner ### About Edelweiss Software Group Edelweiss Software Group is an operating group of Valsoft Corporation, serving as a permanent basecamp for vertical market software companies. Our philosophy is simple: your company leads; we support the ascent. With a buy-and-hold-forever approach, Edelweiss preserves each company's brand and provides the steady guidance, capital, and resources needed to keep both products and people moving upward. We form long-term strategic alliances with existing management teams — we don't buy to sell — placing a premium on the well-being of customers and employees over short-term goals. This role leads one of Edelweiss's mission critical businesses in the education and childcare software space. The business holds a leading position in its niche, with a large and loyal customer base, and is entering an exciting new chapter of growth and product expansion. ### The Role We are seeking an entrepreneurial and operationally minded Managing Director to lead one of our software businesses. Reporting directly to the Managing Partner, you will own the P&L, set strategic direction, and drive sustained, profitable growth across the product portfolio. This is a hands-on operator role for a leader who can build as much as run. The business is at an exciting inflection point, with a stable core and a new generation of products moving toward market. You will define and execute the strategy for its next phase — evolving the operating model, sharpening the go-to-market engine, and bringing new products successfully to market — while building a transparent, high-performing, customer-obsessed organization. You will operate with high autonomy, supported by Valsoft's long-term investment model, operational expertise, and global network. ### What You'll Lead •    **Drive the next phase of growth —** Expand repeatable, high-quality revenue; refine cross-product go-to-market; and identify new opportunities across markets, segments, and channels. •    **Steer the product portfolio —** Refine clear, market-aligned product roadmaps, bring the next generation of products to market and toward self-sustaining economics, and leverage emerging tools (including AI) to enhance the platform. •    **Evolve the operating model —** Move toward business-unit-level ownership and accountability, with the transparency, discipline, and incentives to scale while improving E2E operational efficiency with the use of AI •    **Deepen customer value —** Improve retention, satisfaction, and lifetime value, and embed a culture of customer-led innovation. •    **Own performance and outcomes —** Take full accountability for revenue, EBITDA, and cash flow, with disciplined capital allocation and predictable financial performance. •    **Lead and grow the organization —** Build and develop a high-performing team and a culture of ownership, accountability, continuous improvement, with a customer-first mindset. ### Candidate Profile **Experience** •    Proven experience as a CEO, Managing Director, COO, VP or General Manager with full P&L ownership of a software or technology business. •    **P&L scale:** Prior P&L accountability of $5M or more. •    **Team leadership:** Experience leading and developing a team of 10 or more. •    **New-product track record:** Has brought new products to market and successfully scaled them. •    Track record of scaling and growing established software businesses and of transforming a business. •    Strong commercial instinct across sales, pricing, and go-to-market strategy, including cross-sell and market penetration. •    Ability to lead across product, operations, and finance, with sound financial acumen (P&L management, budgeting, forecasting). •    Comfort with emerging technologies, including AI. •    Bachelor's degree in business, finance, engineering, economics, or a related field; an MBA or advanced degree is a strong asset. **Personal characteristics** •    Empathetic leader:A strong ability to influence others, and an empathetic, active listener. •    Entrepreneurial spirit — results-oriented, driven, proactive, and a team player. •    Both strategic and hands-on, with the ability to translate vision into actionable plans and drive results. •    A high degree of accountability and ownership. •    Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and adapt to change with agility. •    A people-centric leader who leads with humility, empathy, and sound judgment. ### Why This Opportunity Stands Out •    **A platform for growth —** Lead an established, market-leading business at a genuine inflection point — with the core stabilized and a new product generation ready to scale. •    **True ownership —** Run the business with full autonomy and accountability, empowered to make decisions and drive outcomes. •    **Long-term backing —** Valsoft's buy-and-hold-forever model means you build enduring value rather than managing toward an exit. •    **A proven operating model —** Access Valsoft's playbooks, capital, and global network of experienced software operators while retaining independence in execution. •    **Flexibility —** Fully remote, based anywhere in Canada or the United States. #EdelweissSoftware ## Apply [Apply at Valsoft Corporation](https://apply.workable.com/valsoft-corp/j/3903ED739F/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
