Job description

Role Overview

This is a high-intensity, remote leadership opportunity for a proven builder who can turn a validated concept into a functioning, scalable venture. The role calls for someone who has already operated in fast-moving startup environments, thrives on ownership, and is comfortable making progress with limited information and limited resources. The ideal person sees company creation as a mission rather than just a job and can sustain momentum in a 24/7 digital business environment.

The focus is on execution, speed, and accountability. Candidates may come from a prior startup exit or from a strong product/engineering background in a high-velocity platform. What matters most is the ability to move from idea to shipped product, attract strong talent, and lead through the uncertainty of early-stage growth. The company will provide the infrastructure, capital, and operational support needed to build something substantial.

Key Responsibilities

Take full ownership of a new venture concept and turn it into a working business that can generate revenue.
Set the product direction, shape the technical roadmap, and prioritize features in a way that accelerates product-market fit.
Build and lead a focused team of developers, designers, and growth specialists who share a high-performance culture.
Work with the internal architecture team on fundraising materials, investor storytelling, and strategic capital efforts.
Handle the daily operating rhythm of an early-stage company, including workflows and shipment cadences.
Own customer acquisition and distribution, while designing growth loops and viral mechanics that help expand the venture.

Requirements

Demonstrated experience leading a technology or digital business through the 0-to-1 stage.
Strong product intuition, including understanding of user behavior, conversion metrics, and interface quality.
Ability to stay highly available and engaged, including being on call seven days a week to support venture growth.
Solid familiarity with Web3 concepts, including tokenomics, decentralized communities, and digital asset operations.
Excellent communication and leadership ability, with the confidence to inspire top talent to join and commit to the vision.

Operational Details

The role is fully remote.
Work schedule is on call seven days a week due to the demands of early-stage venture execution and global coordination.
Compensation is paid in digital assets, specifically USDC or USDT, along with founder-level upside in the venture.

Why This Role Stands Out

Access to baseline capital and operational support, reducing the usual early funding pressure.
A fast-moving culture with little tolerance for bureaucracy and a strong bias toward shipping.
Immediate use of shared resources such as legal, compliance, premium talent networks, and global marketing channels.

Additional Information

The role is based in New Zealand but is fully remote. It requires complete commitment and a readiness to respond at any time. Compensation is not a conventional salary; it is structured around digital asset payments and equity-style upside tied to the venture being built.
