About the Opportunity
We are building an innovative marketplace platform within the residential property and renovation sector.
Our mission is to help homeowners unlock additional value from underperforming properties while reducing financial risk for renovation professionals through a unique partnership-based approach.
The platform vision, business model, legal framework, and technology foundation are already well advanced. We are now seeking an exceptional commercial co-founder to join the business and help build the go-to-market strategy, commercial partnerships, and revenue engine.
This is not a traditional executive position.
We are looking for someone who wants to help build a business from the ground up and become a genuine co-founder.
The Role
As Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer, you will be responsible for defining and executing the commercial strategy of the business.
Working directly alongside the Technical Founder and CEO, you will take ownership of all revenue-generating functions including sales, partnerships, marketplace growth, customer acquisition, business development, and commercial strategy.
You will play a central role in shaping the company's future direction, fundraising activities, hiring decisions, and long-term growth.
Key ResponsibilitiesRevenue Strategy
- Develop and execute the company's revenue growth strategy.
- Define pricing structures and commercial models.

Ideal Candidate
You may currently be a CRO, Commercial Director, Sales Director, Business Development Director, Property Entrepreneur, Founder, or Senior Growth Leader looking for an opportunity to build something meaningful from the earliest stages.
We are particularly interested in candidates who have:
- Experience within residential property, real estate, property investment, estate agency, construction, home improvement, property development, or related sectors.
- Strong commercial and business development experience.
- Experience building partnerships and generating revenue.
- A network within the UK property ecosystem.
- The ability to operate strategically while remaining hands-on.
- Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
- A founder mindset and long-term commitment to building a business.
Location Preference
While the role offers flexibility, preference will be given to candidates located in or around Bristol to enable regular in-person collaboration with the founder and key stakeholders.
Previous startup experience is advantageous but not essential.
What Makes This Different
This is not a conventional executive role with a salary package.
This is an opportunity to become a founding member of a business with significant long-term growth potential and to help shape its strategy, culture, and future from day one.
You will work alongside the founder as a true partner in building the company.
Equity Structure
- Equity-only position initially.
- Founder-level equity participation.
- Equal equity partnership available for the right candidate.
- Standard founder vesting structure will apply.
- Salary expected following successful funding and/or revenue milestones.
- Long-term value creation aligned with company growth.
Who This Is For
This opportunity is suited to someone who:
- Wants to build a company rather than join one.
- Is motivated by ownership and long-term value creation.
- Has deep commercial capability and property-sector insight.
- Wants to play a defining role in creating a new category within the property market.
- Is prepared to commit to the challenges and rewards of an early-stage startup.
If that sounds like you, we'd be interested in having a conversation.
