This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2432 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 34% sure that is the right code. Agora Talent is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals) or SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Chief of Staff/Venture Builder – Zero-to-One Venture Builder (New Media Business)
London | £60k–£90k
About the opportunity
We're partnering with two serial entrepreneurs, they've built every company from their own profits, with no outside investors and no debt, and they've exited two of them. Their current consumer brand is one of the UK's fastest-growing private companies.
Their next venture is a new content-led business, building a portfolio of brands across a range of consumer verticals. The thesis is written, the pilots have run, and the founder is now full-time on it. What he needs next is a small group of exceptional people to take individual verticals and turn them into real businesses.
What you'll actually do
You'll be handed a detailed thesis covering a long list of possible verticals. Within days, you'll come back with the one you want to own, or a stronger idea and the reasoning behind it. From there, it's yours to build:
- Size up an unfamiliar market fast: who spends money, where it goes and what a customer is worth
- Find, approach and sign multiple on-screen hosts, so the format never relies on one person
- Win sponsors and commercial partners
- Shape the format, then produce and launch it
- Run the numbers throughout: pricing, margins, ROI and the P&L of your vertical
- Share what's working with the other associates running their own verticals alongside you
You'll report directly to the founder and work closely with him. There's a lot of trust and very little hand-holding.
Who will thrive here
Industry background doesn't matter, and media experience isn't required. What matters is proof that you've built something:
- You've launched a product, brand, line of business or major account, and you can talk through the numbers and exactly what you did
- You'd rather test an idea with real customers this week than polish a plan for a month
Around 5–6 years' experience is ideal, but early-career candidates with a standout track record will be considered. Consulting, corporate, start-up backgrounds are all welcome where you can show real ownership.
