SKILLS
FULL DESCRIPTION
Venture Designer (Thai Speaking)
[Employer hidden — view at passion-project.co.uk] is hiring a Venture Designer (Thai Speaking) for a 3-month contract. Location: London, Bangkok or Berlin (Hybrid/Remote).
About [Employer hidden]
[Employer hidden] is a venture studio and accelerator backed by some of the world's leading corporations. We combine capital investment with deep operational expertise to build and scale tech companies from scratch. With a portfolio of over 300 companies and $900M+ in follow-on funding, we offer a unique opportunity to shape the future of tech and entrepreneurship - working at the intersection of corporate innovation and startup building.
About the Role
Venture Design at [Employer hidden] is how we create new venture concepts on demand, not by chance. Working closely with our corporate partners, you'll take high-level investment themes and turn them into validated, venture-backable concepts through a structured three-month sprint. This is the earliest and most exploratory stage of our venture building process. You'll dig into markets, uncover gaps, conceptualise solutions, and pressure-test them with real users - all before a founder is ever hired. The concepts you validate and present to our Investment Committee become the ventures we go on to build. It's high-impact, high-autonomy work that directly shapes our portfolio.
What You'll Do
- Take investment themes developed with our corporate partners and break them down into explorable problem spaces and opportunity areas.
- Conduct deep market research to understand where sectors are heading, identify structural gaps, and map the competitive landscape.
- Generate multiple potential venture concepts from each theme, applying human-centred design principles to conceptualise solutions that address real user needs.
- Design and run rapid experiments — including A/B testing, prototype testing, and user interviews — to validate or kill concepts quickly.
- Synthesise research and testing into clear, evidence-backed recommendations, narrowing from many ideas to a shortlist of the strongest concepts.
- Present validated concepts to the Investment Committee (comprising decision-makers from our corporate backers and the [Employer hidden] CEO), making a compelling case for which ventures to greenlight.
- Collaborate across the studio — working with other Venture Designers, Venture Builders, investors, and functional specialists — to sharpen your thinking and leverage collective expertise.
- Stay close to emerging technologies, tools, and market shifts so you're always bringing fresh thinking to each sprint.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in 0→1 concept development, venture design, or similar roles where you've taken ideas from fuzzy opportunity spaces through to validated propositions — ideally across multiple industries or verticals.
- Strong strategic thinking combined with a bias for action. You can zoom out to see the big picture and zoom in to run a scrappy experiment in the same afternoon.
- Deep comfort with market research and competitive analysis. You know how to find signal in noise and develop a point of view on where a market is going.
- Experience designing and running rapid experiments (A/B tests, landing page tests, concierge MVPs, user interviews) to validate assumptions with real users.
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills. You'll need to present complex findings and recommendations clearly to senior stakeholders with diverse backgrounds.
- A curious, creative mind that also brings discipline — you generate lots of ideas but know how to prioritise ruthlessly based on evidence.
- Comfort with ambiguity and pace. The sprint format means things move fast and the brief is often wide open. That excites you, not intimidates you.
