The Opportunity

This is a practical, sleeves-rolled-up Managing Director role with real influence over the day-to-day running of the business.

With a 2–3 day per week commitment, you’ll play a key role in bringing structure, improving performance, and helping the owner focus on the bigger picture.

This is not a corporate environment — we’re looking for someone grounded, straightforward, and comfortable working in a small team where everyone mucks in.
