Founding Leadership Role
Equity Package + Competitive Salary

ATTENTION: NOT FOR EVERYONE
We are not looking for a CEO. We are recruiting a future legend.
No guaranteed success. High pressure. Long hours. No proven playbook. No large organization to protect you. No certainty that the journey will be easy. Constant fundraising.
What we offer instead is far more valuable.
The chance to build a company from Spain that could redefine a global market.
The opportunity to create a new category at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Social Networks, Creator Economy and a Huge Gift Market Place. The possibility of turning an ambitious vision into a platform used by hundreds of millions of people around the world and own a meaningful part of the value created.
You will face fundraising challenges, fierce competitors, impossible deadlines, sceptics, setbacks and difficult decisions. You will need resilience when others give up, conviction when others doubt and leadership when the path is unclear.
If you are looking for stability, predictable career progression or a comfortable executive position, stop reading now.
If sounds exciting and you are driven by ambition, resilience, ownership and the desire to build something extraordinary, create lasting value, attract exceptional people and leave a mark on an industry, keep reading.
