<div class="content-intro"><p>Good Systems is the parent company behind Goodnotes, where millions of people capture and develop their ideas.<br>Goodnotes is where we started, and it’s now the foundation for a growing family of products. By reimagining how we interact with information, we’re bringing together human creativity and the breakthrough capabilities of AI.<br>We build products that help people turn good thinking into good work.</p></div><h3>About the team:</h3> <p>Good Systems has been through its own AI transformation. We've done the work: automating where it made sense, embedding AI into the systems we build and operate, providing consistent training to our people along the way. It changed how we work - and we learned a lot doing it.</p> <p>We now want to share what we've learned. That's why Good Systems is launching an AI Consultancy and we're looking for the person who will build it from scratch.</p> <p>As our founding Executive Director, you'll own the P&L, set the offer and win clients, and build the engine around you. You'll report into the COO, working with a delivery team inside the business - so your time stays focused on growth.</p> <ul> <li>This role is based on-site in our London Paddington office five days per week.</li> </ul> <h3>This is the role for you if you're excited to work on:</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Building a business from scratch:</strong> No structure, no case studies, no category brand behind you for the first stretch. You'll decide the shape of the offer, the pricing and the go to market.</li> <li><strong>Creating the demand:</strong> The first names on our client list will come from doors you open and conversations you lead, drawing on your network and the credibility you build in the market.</li> <li><strong>Working at the front edge of AI:</strong> Testing new tools, following how the field is moving and having opinions on what really works. You understand what changes when AI is applied properly - the workflows it removes, the capacity it frees up, and the gap between a business that has genuinely adopted AI and one that has only bought it.</li> <li><strong>Shaping what we offer:</strong> Two services on a commercial footing: corporate training and thought leadership in AI transformation, and product recommendation across both Good Systems and external products. How they package and price is yours to work out.</li> <li><strong>Being the face of a new brand:</strong> You’ll represent the brand publicly; speaking, publishing, showing up in the rooms where AI transformation is being decided and turning that visibility into pipeline.</li> <li><strong>Owning the commercials:</strong> Your own P&L, with autonomy on pricing, partnerships and hiring.</li> </ul> <h3>The skills you will need to be successful:</h3> <ul> <li>A strong sales background in consultancy or L&D. You've won the work yourself rather than inherited a pipeline, and you know how an advisory or training deal is really won: the long conversation and the trust built well before anything is signed.</li> <li>You've held an Executive Director or General Manager level role, or run something close enough to know what carrying the whole thing feels like.</li> <li>Deeply engaged with AI and fluent in how it's applied. You keep pace as the tools change, you use them in your own work, and you're credible with a technical audience.</li> <li>Time inside a large scale organization, so you understand how buying decisions actually get made and how big companies work from the inside.</li> <li>You have built a genuine network. You’re visible in the market; professional communities, networks and spaces where AI transformation is being discussed.</li> <li>Comfortable with ambiguity. You’re energized rather than daunted by starting from a blank page.</li> </ul> <h3>The interview process:</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Talent Intro Call:</strong> A conversation with our Talent Acquisition team to dive into your experience, what motivates you, and why you're interested in joining Good Systems.</li> <li><strong>Leadership Introduction:</strong> An open conversation with our COO about the opportunity, the ambition and how you think about building it.</li> <li><strong>Founder Interview:</strong> A deep dive into your zero to one experience: what you started with, the decisions you'd make differently, and how you build relationships.</li> <li><strong>An in-person commercial session:</strong> A working discussion on pricing, revenue potential, marketing investment and overall strategy. We want to hear how you think about the opportunity and where you'd take it.</li> <li><strong>AI Literacy:</strong> As an AI-first company, you will meet with one of our AI champions to discuss your curiosity, understanding, and practical use of AI tools in your daily workflow.</li> <li><strong>Values Based Panel Interview:</strong> A conversation with team members centered on our company values. We'll discuss past experiences to see how your approach aligns with our culture.</li> </ul> <h3>What's in it for you:</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Customized Growth & Wellness Budgets:</strong> We provide dedicated stipends for the things that keep you at your best, including noise-canceling headphones for deep focus, professional training, personal development, and health and wellness activities.</li> <li><strong>Global Connectivity:&l
