Our mission is simple:
To empower kids of all abilities to spring forward with New-Found-Hope in their soles!
We’re building a movement through footwear, storytelling, character-led content, and community.

* Develop and optimise pricing, margin control, and manufacturing cost models
* Oversee and optimise the DTC user journey across our website and campaigns
* Build partnerships with stakeholders, mentors, and key networks
* Shape the team culture, hiring plan, and foundational systems
* Help build something beautiful, lasting, and meaningful
* You’re confident with P&Ls, budgets, and managing early-stage cash flow
* You’re proactive, organised, and solutions-focused
* You love building systems, not just firefighting
* You’re an effective communicator, collaborator, and leader
* You’re familiar with tools like QuickBooks and Shopify (or can pick them up fast)
* You’re excited by impact-driven business, not just exits
* Have built or advised a start-up before
* Have e-commerce / DTC or subscription model experience
* Are a parent, or deeply passionate about helping children thrive
* Have knowledge/experience in paediatrics, physiotherapy, podiatry, occupational therapy, and medicine

(If you have some but not all of these, please still apply!)
