Co-founder and executive opportunities
Take ownership of building the next stage.
Join a Caribbean-led venture with global ambition as an Operating Co-founder, Founding Executive, specialist builder, or Strategic Advisor—with a defined mandate, measurable milestones, and an aligned equity or compensation pathway.
Leadership with accountabilityOwn the mandate. Build the outcome.

Country launch, distribution, institutional relationships, and local performance.
The leadership standard
Builders with judgement, resilience, and commercial accountability.
The strongest candidates will do more than advise from the sidelines. They will translate strategy into products, customers, partnerships, revenue, and repeatable operations.
Newtown is seeking leaders able to make decisions with incomplete information, build systems and teams, sell and negotiate, and operate effectively across Caribbean and global markets.
