Target HR is hiring on behalf of one of our clients for the position of Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) – Business & P&L; Ownership.

Build the business. Drive growth. Own the outcomes.

The Prospect

We are looking for an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) to take ownership of growing and scaling the business.

The company operates in a new and emerging category, with a first-mover advantage and a significant opportunity to establish market leadership. The next phase is focused on expanding market reach, driving customer adoption, building revenue streams and scaling the business.

You will work directly with the founders and take end-to-end ownership of the business, with accountability for revenue, costs, profitability and overall growth.

This is not a traditional strategy or operations role. You will be expected to think and operate like a business owner – identifying opportunities, making decisions, building teams and driving execution.

A Note on the Role

This role comes with a high degree of ownership and autonomy. Priorities may evolve as the business grows, and you will need to be comfortable moving between strategy and execution.

We are looking for someone who wants to go beyond managing a function and take responsibility for building and growing a business.

The expectation is simple: Own the P&L;, drive growth and build a business that can scale.

4. Team Building & Leadership

- Build and lead teams required to achieve business objectives.
- Hire, develop and retain talent across relevant functions.
- Define clear responsibilities, targets and performance metrics.

5. Working with Founders





- Work closely with the founders on business strategy and key decisions.
- Provide regular updates on business performance, growth plans and challenges.
- Identify new opportunities and bring an independent point of view.
- Take ownership of critical initiatives without requiring constant direction.

What We Are Looking For

- 4–8 years of experience, preferably in high-growth startups or entrepreneurial environments.
- Experience owning a business vertical, revenue stream, P&L; or new business initiative.
