CEO / Co-Founder (Path to 50% Ownership) - Software Development Studio in Newcastle upon Tyne

Location: Fully Remote

The Vehicle: JuicyLlama (Software Development Studio)

Do you have the drive, but lack the vehicle?

I started my entrepreneurial journey at age six, selling hand-drawn comics on a council estate. I didn\’t have resources, but I had hunger. Today, I've built businesses generating $30m+ in revenue, moved to paradise in Mallorca, and spend my days doing what I love: writing code and building strategy.

Now, I want to do for you what I wish someone had done for me.

I am looking for a CEO to take the reins of JuicyLlama, my software development studio.

I have landed the first major client (London based). We have our first remote developer. I have the capital and the experience to mentor you.

I need you to drive the car.

The Mission

My personal mission is to create opportunities enabling hidden talent with drive to thrive. I believe grit matters more than pedigree. I don't care about your university degree, your postcode, or who your parents know.

I care about one thing: Can you make things happen?

The Opportunity (The \\\”Venture Builder\\\” Model)

This is not a 9-to-5 job where you clock in and hide. This is a path to ownership.

• Phase 1 (Year 1-2): You run the business. You hunt for clients. You manage the P&L. You earn a modest base salary + a massive 50% of the profits you generate.

• Phase 2 (The Goal): Once you hit agreed performance targets, you don\’t just get a bonus—you get 50% equity. We spin this out, and you become the owner of a development studio with a proven track record (worth serious $$$).

Your Thrusters (Values)

To work with me, you need to align with my core values:

• Freedom: We work remotely. We don\’t micromanage. You own your time, provided you deliver results.
• Keep It Simple: We challenge complexity. We don\’t do \\\”corporate speak.\\\” We focus on what moves the needle.
• Equality: We foster co-elevation. We win together. We treat others how we wish to be treated.
• Positivity: Nothing is impossible. When we hit a wall, we climb it.
• Curiosity: You must be obsessed with learning and striving for better.

The Role: The \\\”Hunter\\\”

JuicyLlama is currently a lean operation with one client and one developer. Your job is to take us from 1 client to 10 then from 10 to 100.

• You will be the face of the company.
• You will handle sales, business development, and client relationships.
• You will define the commercial strategy.
• I will help with technical delivery, and be your mentor/Chairman.

Who You Are

• You're hungry. You might feel you're able to do more, trapped, frustrated and wanting to do more. You will do whatever it takes to be successful.

• You're a \\\”Hunter.\\\” You aren\’t afraid of rejection. You're willing to pick up the phone, send the emails, and close deals.

• You're resilient. You understand that entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster.

• Experience: Agency or Tech experience is a bonus, but transferable skills are mandatory. If you've run a restaurant, managed a chaotic retail store, or hustled your way through life—we want to talk to you.

The Deal

• Base Salary: Modest (This is a startup environment).
• Upside: 50% Profit Share.
• The Prize: 50% Equity Ownership.

How to Apply

I don't want a standard cover letter.

Send me a video telling me about a time you made something from nothing. Tell me about a time you used grit to overcome a lack of resources. Tell me about yourself, your background, your work experience, your passions and your side hustles. Show me your drive.

Let's make the impossible, possible.
