Finance Project Leader in London

Hiring now · London · Full-time (3-months) · Full-time offer after 3 months if things go well. Email talent@wilbe.We train over a thousand scientists a year through our Build Weeks program, run lab and workspace infrastructure, and advocate for scientists everywhere under the Scientists First banner. Some of the most prolific scientist founders - from Proxima Fusion to Apoha - have started their journey with us when they were full-time researchers. Once a project is activated, delivery may come back to the core team, move to a partner, or occasionally stay with you. The current slate spans events on the water, places and venues, media production, community programs, and a flagship gathering. What each project shares: each is early, moving fast, and needs someone to open doors, lock dates, and assemble the context that lets us decide and act. That loop has already shipped five products. Build Weeks started as a training course and became 52 weekly cohorts a year. Labs started as hosting founders and became a management agreement on an institutional landlord's building. Wilbe Stories started as filming founders nobody else was filming and became a format with a 10,000+ impressions on social media. The special projects are the next intuitions on that conveyor. You'll deal first-hand with founders, investors, institutional landlords, yacht clubs, venues, and media guests, and you'll see how a venture group takes an idea from intuition to shipped or killed product, repeatedly, across completely different domains. In three months you'll have opened doors, locked dates, and built materials for projects most operators never touch in a career, and you'll leave with a network across science, capital, property, sport, and media that scales from day one. If you convert, you'll have earned a seat in a firm you helped build. An eye for aesthetics and quality - the venue you pick, how an event is presented visually and run physically, how a space comes together. You can go from a venue conversation to a stakeholder map to a production run-of-show in one morning, and the quality of each stays high. Switching fields energizes you; Much of this job is opening doors on Wilbe's behalf: cold and warm outreach done with judgment and polish. Bonus: experience in events, hospitality, sailing, production, or early-stage startups. Starting ASAP. Full time for 3 months. ~ long-term comp discussed at conversion ~ At the end of the 3 months, extension or a long-term hire when we're both ready. the bar is performance.
