Principal - Venture & Concept Development

New Today

Job Description

Opportunity to join a well-capitalised, ambitious, early-stage venture studio building new brands across hospitality, food & beverage, and entertainment. What we do is simple in theory and hard in practice: find great IP, turn it into real concepts, launch them, scale what works...then do it again.


The Role

We’re looking for a Principal – Venture & Concept Development to take real ownership of new concepts, from first idea through validation, launch, and early scale.


What You’ll Do

  • Come up with and shape new hospitality, F&B, and CPG concepts
  • Turn creative or talent-led ideas into businesses that actually work
  • Test whether a concept makes sense — market, customer, numbers
  • Build the financial model and decide what’s worth backing
  • Lead product development, including taste and flavour testing where relevant
  • Put together the launch plan and take it to market
  • Spend time with manufacturers, distributors, and partners
  • Negotiate and sign production, distribution, and licensing deals
  • Prove the concept, help bring in a team to scale it, then start again


Who This Is For

  • People with strong strategic training who want real ownership, not just analysis
  • Comfortable working in messy, early-stage environments
  • Commercially sharp, numerate, and happy getting into the detail
  • Confident working hands-on with operators, partners, and senior stakeholders
  • Genuinely interested in food, hospitality, brands, and consumer experiences


Why This Role

  • You get true zero-to-one ownership, repeatedly
  • You’ll work closely with founders, investors, and best-in-class partners
  • Small senior team, lots of autonomy, very little bureaucracy
  • You’ll build real businesses - not decks


Working Model

  • London-based, hybrid
  • Flexible, high-trust way of working
