About Attlas Wire
Attlas Wire is an independent, digital-first global news platform committed to delivering credible, fact-based journalism with integrity, accuracy, and balance.
We are building a next-generation media organization that combines journalism, technology, data, AI, video, and intelligent distribution to serve audiences across the globe.
Our coverage spans world affairs, geopolitics, business, finance, economics, technology, startups, energy, healthcare, sports, culture, and investigative reporting.
Through articles, video journalism, documentaries, podcasts, newsletters, and data-driven reporting, our ambition is to build one of the world's most trusted independent media organizations.
The Opportunity — Saudi Arabia
As Attlas Wire expands its presence across the Middle East and Saudi Arabia, we are looking for a visionary Co-Founder based in Saudi Arabia, preferably Riyadh, to help establish and scale our regional presence.
This is not a conventional employment opportunity. It is a founding leadership role for an entrepreneur, media executive, investor, business leader, or experienced operator who wants to help build a global media company from the ground up.
The Co-Founder will work directly with the Founder to develop Attlas Wire's Saudi and Middle East strategy, build strategic relationships, develop revenue opportunities, support fundraising, and establish the organization as a credible international media brand in the region.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and execute Attlas Wire's growth strategy across Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC.
Establish strategic relationships with media organizations, technology companies, brands, advertisers, investors, institutions, and industry leaders.
Identify and develop commercial opportunities across advertising, sponsorships, memberships, subscriptions, licensing, branded content, events, and strategic partnerships.
Support fundraising initiatives and engage with investors, family offices, venture capital firms, and strategic partners.
Build Attlas Wire's audience, brand, and commercial presence across Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.
Help establish local partnerships and regional operations.
Recruit and develop high-performing editorial, commercial, marketing, and operational teams.
Represent Attlas Wire at major business, media, technology, investment, and industry events.
Contribute to executive decision-making, corporate governance, strategic planning, and long-term company development.
Preferred Qualifications
We are particularly interested in individuals with:
Founder, executive, investor, entrepreneur, or senior leadership experience.
A strong network within the Saudi Arabian and GCC business, media, technology, investment, or corporate ecosystem.
Experience in media, digital publishing, technology, SaaS, startups, investment, consulting, marketing, advertising, or business development.
Strong understanding of the Saudi market and regional business environment.
Excellent leadership, negotiation, communication, and relationship-building capabilities.
An entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to build something from an early stage.
Passion for credible journalism, technology, innovation, and public-interest reporting.
What You'll Gain
Meaningful founding equity in Attlas Wire.
Opportunity to help build a global media company from its earliest stages.
Executive-level strategic influence and decision-making authority.
Opportunity to lead Attlas Wire's expansion across Saudi Arabia and the GCC.
Access to international media, technology, business, and investment ecosystems.
The opportunity to shape the company's regional strategy, culture, partnerships, and growth.
Long-term opportunity to transition into a salaried executive leadership position as the company scales, while retaining equity ownership.
Compensation
This is an equity-based founding opportunity.
During the early stage, compensation will primarily be through equity ownership, aligning the Co-Founder directly with the long-term success and value creation of Attlas Wire.
As the company grows, secures investment, and establishes sustainable revenue streams, the role is expected to transition into a compensated executive position while retaining the agreed founding equity.
Why Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia is emerging as one of the world's most dynamic markets for technology, entrepreneurship, investment, media, entertainment, and digital transformation.
Attlas Wire aims to build a strong regional presence from Saudi Arabia while connecting the Middle East with global audiences and international markets.
This opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to be part of building the company — not simply joining it as an employee.
