Founder Communications & Thought Leadership Lead

Your mission

We are not looking for someone to manage a content calendar.

We are looking for someone who can build the voice, visibility and influence of Aïssa, founder and CEO of Enky, at the highest level.

The Enky Marketing team owns the corporate brand, product communication, campaigns and company channels.

Your role is different.

You will shape how Aïssa exists publicly as an entrepreneur: the ideas he represents, the conversations he contributes to and the relationships his visibility can create.

His communication will naturally support Enky, but it will also extend to the other projects he is building within the Enky ecosystem, including Momoamo.

The objective is to create a coherent founder narrative around the deeper convictions connecting these projects:

• Moving from ownership towards usage
• Building more circular and sustainable business models
• Reinventing furniture, workspaces, hospitality and living spaces
• Creating places where people can meet, work and live differently
• Using community and collective intelligence as business forces
• Developing new approaches to entrepreneurship, investment and company financing
• Building ambitious companies around a meaningful mission

You will transform these ideas, experiences and projects into a strong public voice and bring them to the right audiences through content, media, podcasts, speaking opportunities and strategic relationships.

The goal is not visibility for visibility’s sake. It is to build long-term credibility, influence and trust while creating meaningful opportunities for Aïssa, Enky and the wider group.

Your role

1. Founder positioning and editorial strategy

You will define what Aïssa should be known for and the conversations in which he can bring a distinctive and credible perspective.

You will build a clear editorial strategy based on a limited number of strong content pillars, connecting:

• Aïssa’s personal experience and convictions
• Enky, Momoamo and the group’s other projects
• Important transformations in our industries
• Topics relevant to entrepreneurs, investors, clients and industry leaders

Working directly with Aïssa, you will extract his ideas, challenge his thinking and turn complex subjects into clear, personal and memorable narratives.

You will create or oversee premium founder-led communication across LinkedIn, articles, newsletters, interviews, video and other relevant formats.

2. Podcast as a strategic medium

You will make the podcast a central platform for Aïssa’s influence and network.

It should not be treated as a simple series of interviews, but as a place to explore the ideas behind Enky and its wider ecosystem while building relationships with the people shaping business, furniture, design, work, hospitality, real estate, sustainability and investment.

You will lead its strategy end to end:

• Define its positioning and editorial ambition
• Identify and secure high-quality guests
• Prepare strong conversations and editorial angles
• Coordinate production, publication and distribution
• Transform each episode into articles, videos, social content and other formats
• Use the podcast to develop meaningful relationships and opportunities

Every episode should generate more than an audience. It should create ideas, content, relationships and strategic value.

3. Media, speaking and strategic opportunities

You will actively position Aïssa in the right events, conferences, podcasts, media and influential communities.

You will develop relationships with journalists, editors, podcast hosts, event organisers, founders, investors, industry experts and strategic partners.

You will know how to pitch Aïssa’s ideas and projects in a way that is relevant to each audience, securing:

• Speaking opportunities
• Podcast appearances
• Interviews and media coverage
• Opinion pieces
• Roundtables
• Strategic collaborations
• Access to relevant communities and networks

This requires editorial judgement, persuasion and genuine relationship-building—not simply coordination.

Key responsibilities

• Define Aïssa’s founder positioning and thought-leadership strategy.
• Build a coherent narrative across Enky, Momoamo and the group’s other projects.
• Develop strategic content pillars and a strong editorial direction.

• Lead the podcast’s editorial strategy, guest sourcing, production and amplification.

• Work closely with the Enky Marketing team while maintaining clear ownership boundaries.
• Measure impact across visibility, engagement, relationships and business opportunities.
