The Critical Disconnect in Scaling SaaS
Scaling a SaaS business from Series A to C is a race against complexity. But too many companies make a critical error: they buy Enterprise software (e.g. NetSuite) before they have the internal expertise to run it.
This leads to broken data, stalled implementations, and spiralling consultancy costs.
Struo was founded to solve this specific problem.
We are the Pre-ERP Talent Partner. We don't just fill vacancies; we place the critical First Systems Lead - connecting Finance and Tech, ensuring your move to the cloud creates commercial leverage, not technical debt.
New Approach
Don't Just Implement. Own the Outcome.
Too many companies rely entirely on external partners to drive their most critical systems. While partners bring technical depth, they cannot replace internal ownership. Without a dedicated lead on your side of the table, projects often drift, data remains fragmented, and knowledge leaves when the consultants do.
We believe in a balanced approach.
We specialise in placing the Client-Side Systems Lead - the internal expert who bridges the gap between your finance team and your implementation partners.
By ensuring you have the right internal capability to manage vendors, clean data, and define processes, we help you get maximum value from your external partnerships while building long-term resilience in-house.
We operate with an unapologetically honest approach: if you aren't ready to hire, we will tell you. Our goal isn't just a placement; it's ensuring your systems are talking and your data is flowing without hidden surprises.
Joe Hamblin, Founder
I am a technical recruitment partner who helps scaling SaaS companies bridge the gap between "hiring capacity" and "hiring capability."
My journey began with a deep dive into how AI would reshape our industry-research that now underpins Struo's lean, tech-first model. But technology alone doesn't build great companies; people do.
Leveraging my experience recruiting for some of the globe's fastest-growing SaaS companies I move beyond the transactional "CV send." I act as a strategic advisor to Founders and CFOs, using data and an unapologetically honest approach to define who they actually need to execute their roadmap.
Whether you need a Series A Builder to fix your data foundation or a Series C Scaler to optimise your operating model, I help you build the human infrastructure to scale without the chaos.
