montauk-capital - CEO & Co-Founder, Cure
Requirements
• Zero-to-one company-building leadership. Demonstrated success as a founder, GM, product leader, or early-stage operator creating a new product, market, or business before the playbook existed. • Enterprise AI or customer-engagement perspective. Experience building or commercializing AI-native enterprise software, conversational AI, customer experience platforms, decisioning systems, or another product that changed how large organizations operate. • Enterprise commercial credibility. The ability to engage senior executives, uncover high-value workflows, earn trust in complex organizations, and convert design partnerships into durable, expanding customer relationships. • AI-native product judgment. Fluency in how agents, models, data, integrations, evaluation, guardrails, and human oversight combine to produce reliable outcomes in consequential workflows; you do not need to be the CTO. • Consumer-finance and regulatory judgment. Strong instincts for consumer psychology, lending or payments economics, auditability, explainability, consumer protection, and trust. Direct collections-industry experience is not required. • Founder-level agency and magnetism. Exceptional judgment, speed, resilience, storytelling ability, and product curiosity, with the capacity to attract outstanding people and inspire them to build an ambitious company from zero. • We are particularly interested in leaders who can bring the ambition, product velocity, and enterprise orientation of the best AI-native software companies into a recovery market overdue for reinvention.
Responsibilities
• Define the category and market wedge. Position Cure as the AI-native engagement and recovery platform for regulated industries, identify the highest-value initial use cases, and translate the larger vision into a focused market-entry strategy. • Win lighthouse customers. Secure design partnerships with leading lenders, fintech companies, and other regulated enterprises; work directly with executives and operators to turn urgent recovery problems into deployments that can expand. • Build an AI-native product with customers. Partner with technical and product leaders to create agents that can understand context, reason over account data and policy, personalize conversations, take action across systems, and improve through feedback and evaluation. • Create a compounding outcomes engine. Establish the data, experimentation, evaluation, and operating loops that improve recovery rates, efficiency, compliance, and consumer experience with every deployment. • Build the company and category. Recruit the founding team, create a culture of speed and product excellence, and develop a narrative that attracts customers, talent, partners, and investors to Cure's vision. • Lead the seed financing. Define the product, commercial, and technical milestones that demonstrate category leadership and build the investor process required to fund Cure's next phase, with support from Montauk Capital.
Benefits
• Create the AI-native category leader in recovery. Build the platform that replaces rigid workflows and fragmented point solutions with intelligent agents capable of owning outcomes across the recovery journey. • Apply AI to a consequential customer interaction. Use context, reasoning, personalization, and action to transform one of the most sensitive and economically important moments in the customer lifecycle. • Build a platform whose advantage compounds. Turn every conversation and outcome into a smarter system that improves economics for regulated enterprises and creates better paths to resolution for consumers, with Montauk Capital's capital, network, and company-building support.
