Are you someone who looks at a problem and immediately starts thinking about solutions? Do you find yourself fascinated by the inner workings of a business, wondering how an idea goes from a simple thought to a fully-fledged company? 

If so, then you're in the right place. We are seeking a motivated and driven individual to join our team as a Venture Development Coordinator. This is a truly unique opportunity to work alongside our Managing Director, helping to build and launch new business ventures from the ground up.

We are more than a marketing agency; we are a hub of innovation and growth. Our main business helps ambitious companies reach their full potential, and we apply that same spirit to our internal projects. 

Our culture is entrepreneurial and dynamic, built on the belief that a great idea, combined with hard work and strategic planning, can lead to incredible things. We are passionate about making a real impact, not just for our clients but also by creating new businesses that solve real-world problems. Our office is located in the heart of Nantwich, a charming market town in Cheshire, and we have a supportive and forward-thinking team.

This role isn't for those who prefer the routine. This is a chance to be in the engine room of new business creation, offering a rare education in entrepreneurship. 

You'll gain a front-row seat to the entire process, from that first spark of an idea to a fully operational business. We believe in learning by doing, and this role provides the perfect environment for that. You will be a key player, helping to coordinate and drive special projects that will shape the future of our company.

A Hands-on Approach to Business Building

As our Venture Development Coordinator, you will be the central point of contact for new ventures. This means you will be juggling various tasks and responsibilities, all to bring a new business to life. 

You might find yourself conducting market research one day, digging into data to see if a concept is viable. Next, you could be tracking key milestones and managing project timelines to ensure everything stays on schedule.

One of the most exciting parts of this role is the variety. You will wear many different hats and need to adapt quickly. You might be testing a new software platform to see if it's the right fit for a new venture, or you could be helping to define a brand's go-to-market strategy. 

You will be liaising with both our internal teams and external partners, building the necessary infrastructure for these new businesses. Your work will be crucial in preparing clear and concise progress reports and presentations for our Managing Director, providing the information they need to make strategic decisions.

This is a role for a natural problem-solver, someone who can find a way forward even when the path isn't clear. You will be comfortable with ambiguity and thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift. We are looking for someone with excellent organisational and project management skills, who can keep a keen focus on the end goal, no matter what challenges arise.

The Mindset We Are Looking For

While skills are important, we are looking for a specific mindset. We need someone with a true entrepreneurial spirit. This means you are proactive and resourceful, someone who sees a problem and immediately starts thinking about how to solve it without being asked. You are a relentless problem-solver who doesn't shy away from a challenge. 

We value those who have tried to launch their own projects or side-hustles, whether they were a success or a failure. The lessons learned from both are invaluable.

We also need someone with a broad skill set, someone who can learn new concepts and software quickly and independently. You should have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, and the confidence to liaise with senior stakeholders. You will be a key part of our team, and we need someone who can express their ideas clearly and effectively. This role offers the potential for significant personal and professional growth, and we are looking for someone hungry for that kind of opportunity.

What We Offer You

We are dedicated to providing just that. You will have an unparalleled opportunity to learn directly from an experienced business leader, gaining insights and knowledge that you simply can't find in a typical junior role. We offer a competitive salary and hybrid working with the option to work from home up to two days a week. 

We also have flexible hours within our core period of 10 am to 4 pm, giving you the ability to adjust your start and finish times to suit your life. We provide a MacBook Air or Pro to ensure you have the best tools for the job, and our business casual dress code means you can be comfortable and be yourself at work.

This is a chance to be a part of something special, to help build and grow new businesses from the ground up. If you have an entrepreneurial mindset and a passion for problem-solving, we would love to hear from you. The opportunity to make a real impact on our company's future starts here, get in touch today.
