President, Creative & Content Production

This is an exciting new business in start-up mode with a significant portfolio of content and a fully developed offering in a potentially highly lucrative social media niche. The business is digitally based and is targeted at a massively growing area which is poorly served by social media offerings. This is a fabulous opportunity to get involved on the ground floor with an exciting new market offering and company, and to be part of a world class leadership team and a member of the Board.

There is a fully developed and detailed Investor Pack, Business Plan and Business Case and active discussions are already taking place with interested investors.

The role will pay a highly competitive salary, significant commission / bonus and a personal equity stake in the business from the outset, which based on the conservative business plan projections could be worth tens of millions of dollars after 3-5 years.

The location for the role is flexible and could be either UK or US (west coast or east coast).
