Lead and scale an existing web development business into a standalone company in Bali. Own P&L and strategy, improve revenue and profitability, oversee project delivery and quality, build and manage local and remote development teams, establish scalable systems/processes, and collaborate with the venture-building partner to meet KPIs and growth milestones.

It is a founder-track opportunity for an experienced web development professional who wants to build and lead their own company, supported by capital, operational infrastructure, and an active venture-building partner.
The selected Founder will relocate to Bali and work closely with our client to scale operations, grow revenue, build a high-performing team, and establish the business as a long-term standalone venture.
