Managing Partner

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
