We’ve reached a pivotal stage: ready to expand our reach, strengthen our operations, and evolve our structure — without losing the essence of what makes us special.
That’s where you come in.
The Role: Managing Director
As our next Managing Director, you’ll take the reins of day-to-day operations, working closely alongside our visionary Founder to guide the business into its next phase of growth.

External Engagement

* Build on a strong foundation and evolve what’s already working.
* You’ll lead with clarity, compassion, and commercial confidence, without disrupting the heart of our culture.
