Your objective is to shape and kick-start new businesses, acting as an integral part of the interim founding team from identification of customer need, through to solution ideation, testing, validation, investment decision and launch.

In some cases, you will continue as interim GM for the pre-seed or seeded venture.

- You have learnt from significant successes and failures within the entrepreneurial world, ideally through leading your own startups or kicking off and shaping new business models within a corporate environment. You'll likely have raised pre-seed / seed funding a number of times and know what this takes
- You bring a structured approach to ideating new business opportunities, with the knack for zooming in on the riskiest assumptions first and testing the traction of your idea by getting into the mindset of the customer
- You communicate new ideas and insights clearly and with strong narratives. You have a structured mindset and are a critical thinker with an injection of creativity
- You have significant exposure to corporate or consulting environments, and/or working on repeat with investors
- You have a strong grasp of the corporate world including asset leverage and stakeholder partnerships, with proven ability to build and nurture meaningful relationships
- You're comfortable with financial modelling and bringing your vision to operational reality
- You are a team player and can work independently. You enjoy bringing a team on a journey with you and have the knack of asking the killer questions to move a project forward

**Your Mindset & Values**
- Motivation & Curiosity: dedicated and highly motivated to level up in all that you do
- Team player & Independence: you enjoy being a part of a lean, tight-knit and diverse team. You're equally a strong individual contributor and thrive on driving value, outcomes and solving problems
- Perpetual Learner: intellectually engaged with a thirst for deeper knowledge, experimentation and continued growth
- Above all else, you are deeply entrepreneurial, impactful and kind

**Benefits**

**Our Promise**:
Working with us will be energising. It will be challenging, entrepreneurial, sometimes scrappy, and deeply fulfilling. You will work with passionate, ambitious, action-oriented people, enthused by building businesses and having a positive impact on the world. You will be tasked with significant responsibilities. You will be valued, appreciated and believed in.

**Values & Culture**:
We strive to build and grow businesses that break new ground and unlock human potential through entrepreneurship. We want to deliver significant positive impact both for ourselves and to the world in which we live.

We have built a strong ethical codex. It encompasses not just what we do, but how we do it. Our values can be summarised as: be entrepreneurial, be impactful, be kind. We believe that how you engage with people makes all the difference.

We recruit, employ, train and compensate regardless of race, religion, national origin, sex, disability, age, veteran status, and other protected status. We're committed to being a place where a diverse mix of talented people want to come, stay and do their best work. We might not do everything perfectly just yet and would like to hear your feedback and suggestions if you think there are areas in which we could improve, or if you believe we have not provided you with a fair opportunity.
