You will act as a “rolling activation” force, taking early-stage intuitions and driving them from concept to actionable reality. Working directly with the CEO, you’ll open doors, secure venues, and bridge the gap between “we should” and “it works” across diverse sectors including media, science, and events.

Role overview
Wilbe is a London-based, full-stack venture firm and platform dedicated to helping scientists and engineers turn cutting-edge research into high-performing companies.[1][14][20] It combines an early-stage venture fund, a startup studio model, and founder education to provide scientists with entrepreneurship and career resources, advocacy, pre-seed and seed funding, and access to lab space.[1][9][14] Through its platform, Wilbe offers business knowledge, a global community, tools, and “TikTok-style” video tutorials that teach scientists how to launch a business, often enabling them to move from idea to company in as little as seven days.[8][14][27] The firm backs deeptech, life sciences, materials science, biotech, energy tech, climate tech and other science-driven ventures globally, while also operating physical infrastructure such as Wilbe Labs at White City Place for early-stage science startups.[3][9][13][20] Overall, Wilbe positions itself as a “home for scientist leaders,” removing infrastructure and knowledge bottlenecks so scientific entrepreneurs can access capital, lab space, and a peer network without the usual barriers to company creation.[7][13][20]
What you will do
- Lead the “experimentation-to-validation” stretch for new products, converting raw ideas into actionable plans with clear delivery paths.

- Utilize AI tools as a daily force multiplier to research, draft, and coordinate complex schedules across multiple fast-moving workstreams.
Who this is a fit for

- A “shameless chaser” comfortable with high-pressure outreach and maintaining discretion around sensitive materials and high-profile industry figures.
Why this role is remarkable
- Unparalleled direct exposure to Wilbe’s co-founder and CEO, working in the room where high-stakes venture decisions are made daily.
- The opportunity to shape a venture group whose portfolio companies are worth over $3.3bn, moving projects from intuition to validation.
