New Ventures is where Qogita works out what comes next. The team explores opportunities across new geographies, product categories and software verticals, and turns the strongest into real businesses.

As a Founder in Residence, you'll take high-conviction bets from zero to one. You'll own the full arc, from spotting the market to first commercial traction, within a 6–12 month window. If a venture works, you'll keep running it until it's ready to become part of business as usual.

This is a role for someone who has built before and wants to do it again with the backing of a scaling company and a team that moves fast.

• Market mapping: Run rigorous market assessments, combining structured desk research with direct customer discovery, to find where real, addressable demand exists.
• Zero-to-one execution: Build and ship an MVP end-to-end and independently, from sourcing through to first sale - without a playbook to follow
• Business unit ownership: Drive the new venture through its early operational lifecycle, acting as founder, operator, and commercial lead, owning its growth until it can move into standard operations.
• Customer insight: Lead ongoing user discovery to pressure-test assumptions, surface unmet needs, and sharpen the product and commercial direction
• Kill or scale: Make honest calls on what's working. Double down where there's traction and move on quickly where there isn't
• Commercial traction: Own the path to first revenue - define the sales motion, work the deals, and close them

• Founded a company or built a function at a very early-stage startup (under 20 people).
• A concrete track record of building something from nothing, not just contributing to it.
• Commercially driven and can sell: you open doors, run a process and close.
• Your default is to talk to customers rather than theorise about them. Customer discovery is your instinct, not your last resort.
• Comfortable with numbers: you can build a simple model, size a market and let the data change your mind.
• You communicate clearly in writing and in person, and can take leadership through a decision in a short memo.
• Background in STEM, Finance, Economics, or Law and Politics.
• Structured enough to run operations on your own and don't need process handed to you.
• Relentlessly resourceful and find a way when there's no obvious one.
