Job description

At Reodor Studios, we help ambitious companies turn growth goals into business reality. Over the last years we’ve scaled fast – talented people, dozens of high-impact projects, and a growing portfolio of ventures. Our work spans strategy, design, and technology—but unlike most consultancies, we don’t stop at advice. Where others stop at slides, we build, test, and launch.

We combine consulting and venture building to help companies find new revenue streams, expand into new markets, and develop or improve products and services. With a touch of humility, we dare say we’re specialists in early-stage innovation – working from insights and concepts all the way to market-ready solutions. Things move fast here, and we make sure ideas turn into something concrete and valuable.

What sets us apart is how we blend consulting with the ability to actually build new companies. As a Business Builder, your main focus will be client projects, but you’ll also work with our venture activities – where we explore, invest in, and grow ideas that can become future startups.

Our team reflects our ambitions: economists, product designers, cybernetics experts, creative technologists—and more than two-thirds of us have founded or run companies ourselves.

Your role

As a Business Builder at Reodor Studios, you’ll play a key role in early-stage innovation – driving projects from idea to execution. You’ll work closely with clients to develop and test new solutions, evaluate business opportunities, and ensure that concepts are both user-friendly and commercially viable. You’ll be comfortable engaging stakeholders at all levels, building alignment around new opportunities, and helping shape the companies of tomorrow.

Specifically, you will:

• Lead projects from idea to concept – Drive projects from vague briefs to concrete, tested business concepts that meet both user needs and commercial goals.
• Develop strategies and business models – Create solutions based on sustainable and profitable models that deliver long-term value.
• Run analysis – Conduct both qualitative and quantitative analysis of user insights, market data, and business potential. You should be comfortable with numbers (and Excel) and ideally curious about tools like R or Python.
• Prototype and test concepts – Form hypotheses, prototype solutions, test with users, and iterate quickly toward market validation.
• Work in cross-disciplinary teams – Collaborate with designers, technologists, and strategists to realize innovative concepts that deliver both customer value and commercial success.

What we’re looking for

• Academic background in business development, innovation, economics, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of experience in business development, innovation, or consulting, with 2+ years in a consulting/advisory environment.
• Strong execution focus: you’re not just a strategist, you also deliver—taking ownership of the full process from analysis to launch.
• Strong analytical skills: ability to break down complex problems and present insights clearly and persuasively.
• Experience developing and evaluating business models, and a willingness to think creatively and unconventionally about opportunities.
• Commercial skills: interest and/or experience in budgeting, forecasting, pricing, and financial modeling.
• Curiosity about new approaches to business model innovation, growth strategies, systems thinking, and service design.
• Entrepreneurial energy – bonus if you’ve started your own project or company.
• Pragmatic, curious, self-driven, and action-oriented. You thrive in fast-moving environments where things actually get built.
