Start-up leadership opportunities in specialist on-line marketplace
Know anyone who wants to play a big role in a new web business in Wellington, NZ? Get them to look at this. Some people I know are planning to build an international business-to-business on-line marketplace for clients and providers of a specialist business service. I’ve had a look at what they’re planning and it’s very promising; probably the best web business idea I’ve seen recently (locally). The market is truly international in scale and scope. However, while these guys really know their services market, they freely admit they know little about building and operating an on-line marketplace. They’re looking for 3 key people to join them in the start-up team:
- The CEO: someone who knows how to build a web business, build and lead the team and operational processes, drive the strategy and international marketing push. Excellent English language written and spoken communication skills. Proficiency in another major European or Asian language would be useful, but not essential.
- Head of development: Leadership experience in Agile web-business application development. Knowledge of on-line payments, cloud-based infrastructure, etc.. Good understanding of customer-centred product management and design.
- The business could also use the occasional services of someone who understands (at a business level) cross-border payments; maybe consult, maybe part-time, maybe advisory board.
So if you, or someone you know, want to put yourself on the line with all the challenges and potential rewards of a start-up business, please email me with a short pitch on what you have to offer. Those wanting a big salary, fancy offices, hordes of staff, regular hours and business class travel should not apply!
