The opportunity

We are seeking a President to lead strategic direction, organizational development and business performance across ALEBEX AI. You will help determine where ALEBEX AI should compete, how it should grow and what capabilities it needs, then lead the teams and execution required to deliver results.

The mandate is AI commercialization. For ALEBEX AI, the focus is paying customers, recurring revenue and useful AI products.

Reporting to the Founder and Executive Chair, you will bring independent strategic judgment, sound financial discipline and hands-on leadership.

This is a full time, on-site role based in our Vancouver, BC office, five days a week, with occasional travel.

What you will lead

Strategy and organizational development

- Shape the long-term direction and annual business plans of ALEBEX AI. Assess markets, customer needs, competitive positioning and growth opportunities, and make clear choices about priorities and investment.
- Translate strategy into an effective organization: define leadership responsibilities, build required capabilities and establish practical plans, milestones and performance reviews.

Commercial growth and recurring revenue

- Lead go-to-market strategy, business development, sales, marketing and customer success. Win key strategic customers and partnerships, convert suitable pilots into paid deployments, and grow retention and recurring revenue.
- Develop commercially sound pricing and offers, reliable forecasts and a disciplined pipeline. Ruthlessly prioritize opportunities that create measurable customer value and sustainable margins.

Sales and deal-making

- Scale accounts in different verticals / market segments nationally.
- Recruit and lead a sales, solutions and customer-success team with clear quotas, KPIs and forecasting discipline.

Financial and operational leadership

- Own business planning, budgets, financial forecasts and profit-and-loss performance for the organization. Manage cash, resource allocation and investment priorities, with clear accounting for shared resources.
- Build repeatable operations and management reporting. Keep growth plans aligned with delivery capacity, service quality,



contractual obligations and the governance of the organization.

Product strategy and applied research

- Partner with technical and research leaders to shape product and applied research roadmaps, assess investment choices and turn validated capabilities into products, services and industry partnerships.
- Bring customer and market evidence into prioritization. Align commercial commitments with technical feasibility and delivery capacity, and support responsible AI adoption with credible, evidence-based claims.

Corporate training and industry adoption

- Secure organizational clients, develop instructors and delivery partners, and manage programme economics, client satisfaction and repeat business. Help customers progress from learning to useful implementation.

Government relations and funding

- Build sustainable relationships with government, economic development bodies, universities, industry associations and funding organizations. Develop partnerships that advance the strategies of ALEBEX AI.
- Lead a disciplined funding pipeline, including suitable grants, sponsored programmes and collaborative research opportunities. Coordinate applications, partner commitments and reporting while building a diversified financial base supported by earned revenue.

People and execution

- Recruit, develop and lead a capable management team. Set clear objectives, coach leaders and create a culture of accountability, collaboration, sound judgment and continuous improvement.
- Coordinate work across commercial, product, technical and programme teams. Resolve competing priorities, identify delivery risks early and ensure agreed decisions translate into action.

Public leadership and reputation

- Represent ALEBEX AI with customers, partners, government, industry forums and the media. Communicate its purpose and achievements clearly, and build trust through strong delivery and responsible public communication.

What you will bring

- A record of senior leadership in B2B AI, software or technology commercialization, with demonstrable responsibility for strategy, growth, financial performance and organizational development.
- Evidence of winning paying customers,



building recurring revenue and turning early commercial traction into a more repeatable business.
- A record of personally closing seven-figure enterprise and/or government contracts, ideally in AI, SaaS, communications, contact centre or digital services.
- Established sustainable relationships with Canadian government (federal, BC or other provinces, municipalities, health authorities) and large Canadian enterprises, and a working knowledge of public procurement (RFPs, standing offers, supply arrangements).
- Strong and sustainable financial and operational judgment, including budgeting, forecasting, resource allocation and the ability to build effective teams within real constraints.
- The ability to work credibly with technical and research leaders on product direction, delivery trade-offs and commercialization. You can understand complex AI offerings and explain their value and limitations clearly.
- Experience building senior relationships across different segments of customers, strategic partners and public-sector stakeholders. Familiarity with Canadian and British Columbia innovation and funding programmes is valuable.
- Strong professional English communication, negotiation and public-speaking skills, including the ability to represent ALEBEX AI confidently with executives, government audiences and media.
- A practical, entrepreneurial leadership style: comfortable making strategic decisions, developing people and remaining directly involved in strategic key customers, partnerships and execution.
- Experience in corporate education, industry AI adoption, or applied research partnerships would be an advantage. We value evidence of results and the judgment to balance commercial growth with community and industry benefit.

What success will look like
