Your role as Entrepreneur in Residence is to identify and develop new market opportunities into sustainable business ventures, expanding our platform by exploring emerging markets, building strategic partnerships, and launching new verticals from conception to scale.

Typically, your profile will look like this:

• Self-starter who excels with minimal guidance and has demonstrable experience building initiatives from concept to execution

• Strategic thinker with exceptional execution capabilities and proven track record translating market insights into successful business outcomes

• You thrive in a fast-paced and performance-oriented environment

• Colleagues would describe you as hard-working, ambitious and persistent

• You’re obsessed with music, video or social media

What makes this exciting

You are one of the first employees of an ambitious team, changing the world of media and entertainment. Being early means every decision you make shapes our trajectory. You're not a cog in the machine but the captain of your own ship, rewarded for performance and respected for leadership. Flat hierarchies mean that your voice matters, your ideas get implemented, and your impact is immediate.

We pay competitive salaries and make you an owner of the business with equity. We work remotely to give you complete freedom over your life, while meeting regularly around the world for global offsites where we strategize, bond, and push boundaries together.
