The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  StartupAdvantage is hiring a CTO in Lake Charles, LA.

• Role description

  We value people who care about the craft, and we're searching for a CTO who feels the same way. From day one you own a slice of the general mission, earn $209,000 - $443,000, and lean on 17 years to move fast.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Execute core CTO duties with accuracy and consistency
  • Spot where Active Listening breaks before it shows up in a dashboard
  • Make general tradeoffs visible so StartupAdvantage can weigh them
  • Push back, respectfully, when a Decision Making shortcut will cost us later
  • Onboard, mentor, and guide newer team members when called upon

  What You'll Bring

  • The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
  • A history of leaving general processes better than you found them
  • The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
  • An eye for the empowering detail that separates fine from finished
  • Enough Facilitation to be dangerous, enough Decision Making to be trusted
  • A Lake Charles grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly

  StartupAdvantage spent 16 years in the trenches of general so its clients across Lake Charles, LA wouldn't have to. Ownership runs deep here: you'll own outcomes, not just tasks, from your first week as a CTO.

  We reward scrappy-but-steady contributors with $209,000 - $443,000, flexible hours, wellness perks, and meaningful career development support.

  The search is live, the seat is funded, and we are interviewing this week.
