Job description

Freedom Ventures x RunRemote

Most people who dream of becoming an entrepreneur never take the leap. Unless you have an idea, capital, customers, systems, a team, and often years of uncertainty, building a business from scratch is incredibly hard.

Position

Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) – Work hours: Australia Business Hours. This role is not a traditional employee position but a future business leader with a founder mindset who will help build, grow, and ultimately lead RunRemote.

About RunRemote

RunRemote helps startups and growing businesses hire exceptional talent from the Philippines, Latin America, and South Africa. We specialise in hard‑to‑fill roles and help businesses access world‑class talent at offshore economics. Foundations are already in place: proven business model, happy clients, established delivery team, growing reputation, large global opportunity, and significant growth runway.

What You'll Be Doing

• Identifying and executing growth opportunities
• Building strategic partnerships and referral channels
• Driving sales and business development initiatives
• Exploring new markets, verticals, and customer segments
• Working closely with clients and key stakeholders
• Leveraging AI, automation, and technology to improve growth and efficiency
• Helping shape the long‑term strategy of the business
• Taking increasing ownership and responsibility as the business grows

The Ideal Candidate

While there is no single background, the strongest candidates will likely have experience leading growth within a business, unit, or startup that is larger than RunRemote today.

• Built and scaled your own business
• Led growth, partnerships, sales, or revenue functions
• Been an early employee in a high‑growth startup
• Built strategic partnerships that generated meaningful revenue
• Helped scale a services, recruitment, staffing, or outsourcing business
• Owned commercial targets and delivered measurable growth outcomes

Experience in recruitment, staffing, outsourcing, global talent, or offshore services is welcomed but not essential. Strong commercial instinct, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a track record of creating growth are more important.

Who This Is For

• Always wanted to build or run a business
• Entrepreneurial but don't necessarily want to start from zero
• Enjoys growth, sales, partnerships, and creating opportunities
• Thrives with ownership and accountability
• Excited by the idea of building long‑term value
• Motivated by impact, autonomy, and ownership rather than simply maximizing salary

What Success Looks Like

• A pathway to equity
• Increasing responsibility and autonomy
• Direct access to experienced founders and operators
• The opportunity to help scale a global business
• A genuine pathway toward leading a company

Compensation

This opportunity is designed for builders. While there is a decent salary component, the real attraction is the opportunity to create significant long‑term value through ownership, responsibility, and growth. If your primary motivation is maximizing short‑term cash compensation, this probably isn't the right role. If you're excited by the idea of building something meaningful and sharing in the value created, we would love to hear from you.
