• International outlook and experience operating across multiple markets.
• Capacity and willingness to make a meaningful financial investment into NTWRK BLACK.
• Time and ambition to take an active role in building the company.

Partnership & Investment

The opportunity requires both active participation and financial investment. The successful candidate will invest directly into NTWRK BLACK and receive an equity position. Investment amount, ownership percentage, responsibilities, and partnership structure will be agreed between the parties. This is not a passive investment opportunity or traditional employment position.
