01 // Available
Currently available for permanent roles
I run complex programmes where technology, narrative, and people have to work together — then build the systems that stop them coming apart.
My work spans games, media, research, consulting, and civic tech. I’m a Fellow of the RSA.
I’ve been part of the solarpunk movement since 2014. Very few people have experienced a memetic engine from the inside while also helping shape its language, norms, and public imagination.
02 // How I work
Production & Programme Leadership
Complex multi-discipline projects from discovery through shipping. Milestones, delivery cadence, scope control, and cross-functional coordination.
Operating models, governance, decision rights, and reporting.
Operations & Systems
Building and repairing the systems that make organisations work. Process design, KPI frameworks, board-level reporting, revenue operations, forecasting, headcount modelling, contracts, and SOWs. CRM implementation, workflow design, and operational infrastructure from scratch.
Strategy & Research
Operating models for techno-social systems. Scenario design, evaluation, benchmarking, synthesis. Futures thinking, horizon scanning, speculative design. AI agent research and evaluation. Research briefs and strategic frameworks for leadership teams. Community and participation design; norms, permissions, cultural coherence.
Communication & Public Voice
International conference speaker; Ars Electronica, Sonar+D, Transmediale, and others. Two podcasts and a long-running editorial practice; writing online since 2009. Teaching, workshop facilitation, executive writing. If you need someone who can represent the work in public, I already do that.

What I’m looking for
I’m looking for a permanent senior role where I can connect strategy to delivery, stay with the work, and help ship it.
London-based; remote or hybrid.
My writing on worlds as a medium is collected at worldrunning.guide. My writing on AI is collected here, and my writing on agents & companion design is here.
I’ve been writing online at thejaymo.net since 2009.
04 // Work with me now
While I’m looking for a permanent role, I am still freelancing and able to take on a small amount of advisory and consulting work. Here’s how people usually work with me:
Sparring / Zero-Deliverable Consulting
An hour on a call. You get my full attention; I get to think out loud with you about whatever you’re working through.
Advisory Retainers
Regular ongoing, light-touch calls where context builds over time. How I work with most current clients.
Embedded Reviews
Half a day or a full day inside your organisation. I listen, ask questions, and give you my read on a project, team, or programme. A short note / summary afterwards if you want one.
Talks & Workshops
Conference keynotes, internal talks, facilitated sessions. Worlds as a medium, AI agents and companion design, solarpunk and futures, digital culture.
Getting in touch: the best route is through an existing relationship if you have one; otherwise drop me a line directly.
