Opportunity to join a well-capitalised, ambitious, early-stage venture studio building new brands across hospitality, food & beverage, and entertainment. What we do is simple in theory and hard in practice: find great IP, turn it into real concepts, launch them, scale what works...then do it again.

The Role

We’re looking for a Principal – Venture & Concept Development to take real ownership of new concepts, from first idea through validation, launch, and early scale.

What You’ll Do

• Come up with and shape new hospitality, F&B, and CPG concepts
• Turn creative or talent-led ideas into businesses that actually work
• Test whether a concept makes sense — market, customer, numbers
• Build the financial model and decide what’s worth backing
• Lead product development, including taste and flavour testing where relevant
• Put together the launch plan and take it to market
• Spend time with manufacturers, distributors, and partners
• Negotiate and sign production, distribution, and licensing deals
• Prove the concept, help bring in a team to scale it, then start again

Who This Is For

• People with strong strategic training who want real ownership, not just analysis
• Comfortable working in messy, early-stage environments
• Commercially sharp, numerate, and happy getting into the detail
• Confident working hands-on with operators, partners, and senior stakeholders
• Genuinely interested in food, hospitality, brands, and consumer experiences

Why This Role

• You get true zero-to-one ownership, repeatedly
• You’ll work closely with founders, investors, and best-in-class partners
• Small senior team, lots of autonomy, very little bureaucracy
• You’ll build real businesses - not decks

Working Model

• London-based, hybrid
• Flexible, high-trust way of working
