Looking for a C-Level Partner to Grow With ($20K Referral Fee)

Intelex is looking for an exceptional person to help great people build a great company.

This person sees the strength in people. They source their energy from helping others realize their potential.

They are a business leader. They understand that without the achievement of business objectives nothing else is possible. They share the commitments of the entire organization, from customer success to customer acquisition, from product excellence to brand equity, from employee satisfaction to global expansion. They are custodian of revenue growth and profitability.

They know that no one really knows how to build a successful business. They continuously learn and absorb from others, expanding their context, and then share their cross functional knowledge to empower others. They are a facilitator and a unifier, a student and a tutor, a leader and a friend.

This person believes that happiness and respect drive performance. They believe that there is nothing that can defeat a diverse and energized group of people engaged in a shared vision and common mission.

They believe performance is unassailable. They hold themselves, their peers and the entire organization accountable to achieving results. They are unafraid of making tough decisions despite experiencing the full emotional blow of their impact.

They think in terms of structures, frameworks, algorithms and systems, but understand the art of an organization that requires the blending of lines between the designed and the improvised. They design for scale but have the flexibility to address versatile challenges with bespoke innovations.

They are comfortable with complexity, with our market, our customers, our scale and our speed. We are surrounded by optionality; this person must appreciate the intricacy of execution while staying loyal to simplicity.

They understand that the brand of an organization is not defined by a logo, but rather by the way it conducts itself, the value it delivers, how it treats its people, how it treats its community and the leadership initiatives it chooses to pursue. Above all, an organization is defined by its character… calculated as the sum of all the people within it.

This person’s moral constitution demands exceptional values from those around them, even the strongest tactical performers. They convey confidence yet exude humility. Tenacity with sincerity. Intensity with compassion. Expectations with understanding.

They believe in transparency, of exposing their thinking to others, but more importantly, in the responsibility to provide a safe environment for those who expose their thinking to them.

They are a cross functional leader. A partner to every member of a 500+ member organization. An ally, a coach, a liaison, an inspiration, an advocate… and an authority to respect. They are a guardian of performance, an expediter of career growth, a broadcaster of strategy, a conduit for communication, a champion for improvement, a bringer of talent rain, a designer of scale, and a horse… not a jockey. Above all, they appreciate that Intelexians work here to achieve a great life everywhere, and that our responsibility is to provide accretive value to that great life, in whatever way and using whatever means it takes.

The title for this role is Chief People Officer.

The role is an equal partner on our executive team and reports directly to the CEO (me). Though the role has direct responsibility over our Talent organization, the true scope of this role is to maximize the satisfaction, opportunity, and potential of Intelex’s most important asset, our relationships with the people who make us great.

I’m challenged in finding this role and I’d really love your help. I’m sure as you read the above description you’ll think to yourself “well, yeah, of course you’re challenged, you’re looking for a 1 in a million person”. And, yeah, well, that’s true, we are. But we don’t do it empty handed… in return we are offering a 1 in a million opportunity, too.

This search is a challenge. I’ve experienced this challenge first hand during the course of a search that has extended over 12 months. I’m now doing what I probably should have done 12 months ago, turn to you for help.

$20,000 Referral Fee if You Connect Me to A Candidate We Hire

I’m hoping you can put your thinking cap on for Intelex and help us out. I know putting thinking caps on takes energy, maybe some time surfing through LinkedIn, maybe an email or even a phone call. If you can spare the time I want to express my appreciation. So much so, that we are offering a $20,000 (CAD) referral fee to anyone who can connect me with a candidate that results in a hire (self-nominations qualify too). No questions asked, you won’t even have to remind us, we’ll just send you a check upon completion of the first day of work for the new CPO (we wouldn’t want to make things awkward).

If you have a nomination please direct message me their profile on LinkedIn, or email me directly at [email protected]. If it is a candidate we are interested in I will respond and request an introduction. Easy as that!

$2,000 Referral Fee if We Hire a Candidate That Found Us Through a Share, Like or Comment

Even if you have very little time available it would be great if you could please share, like or comment on this post. If we (both) get lucky and someone in your network sees it and applies we’ll happily pay you a $2,000 referral fee. I will ask every candidate if they heard of us through LinkedIn and if they name you I will find you and send you a check!

Intelexians, these referral fees apply to you too! (Just for this role, any other role will be our typical referral fee).

We’re serious about making the right hire and could really use your assistance, so thank you in advance for your help.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments or ideas!
