About The Position

Edelweiss Software Group, an operating group of Valsoft Corporation, is seeking an entrepreneurial and operationally minded Managing Director to lead one of its mission-critical businesses in the education and childcare software space. This business holds a leading position in its niche with a large and loyal customer base and is entering a new chapter of growth and product expansion. The Managing Director will report directly to the Managing Partner, 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 inflection point with a stable core and a new generation of products moving toward market. The leader 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. The role offers high autonomy, supported by Valsoft's long-term investment model, operational expertise, and global network.

• Comfort with emerging technologies, including AI.
• Bachelor's degree in business, finance, engineering, economics, or a related field.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Drive the next phase of growth by expanding repeatable, high-quality revenue, refining cross-product go-to-market, and identifying new opportunities across markets, segments, and channels.
• Steer the product portfolio by refining market-aligned product roadmaps, bringing the next generation of products to market, and leveraging emerging tools (including AI) to enhance the platform.
• Evolve the operating model towards business-unit-level ownership and accountability, with transparency, discipline, and incentives to scale while improving E2E operational efficiency with AI.
• Deepen customer value by improving retention, satisfaction, and lifetime value, and embedding a culture of customer-led innovation.
• Own performance and outcomes, taking full accountability for revenue, EBITDA, and cash flow, with disciplined capital allocation and predictable financial performance.
• Lead and grow the organization by building and developing a high-performing team and a culture of ownership, accountability, continuous improvement, and a customer-first mindset.
