YOUR MISSION
To build the story engine of a new cultural sport. As Custodian of Media, you turn the Custodian Games into a global narrative – creating cinematic storytelling that moves hearts, scales consciousness, and inspires millions to train for a thriving civilization. You transform the Games into culture – every frame, every story, every season becomes a myth of human evolution.
THE VISION
Within two decades, the Custodian Games are not only played – they are watched, felt, and lived by the masses across the world. Like the Olympics, but measured in wisdom and collaboration rather than just raw speed or strength – a movement where a new kind of hero inspires the masses. Your work ensures that the world sees, feels, and follows this evolution.
THE ROLE
As Custodian of Media, you own the full narrative and creative identity of the Custodian Games – from visual language to distribution strategy. You’ll build and lead a team of filmmakers, editors, and storytellers and establish the systems that turn every quest, every match, and every Custodian into content that fuels the movement. You work directly with the founder and core team to synchronize the media layer with the arena and platform layers of the ecosystem. You are the person who decides how the world experiences the Custodian Games – and then makes them feel it.
WHAT YOU’LL BUILD
The Media House — A creative studio producing world-class storytelling across documentary, social, and interactive media.
The Narrative Arc — Season-by-season story architecture that turns athletes into heroes and arenas into cultural moments.
Digital Amplification — Social-first content systems that drive reach while maintaining the depth and integrity of the movement.
Brand Creative Direction — The aesthetic and creative standard for all content and all brand collaborations – ensuring every partner association looks, feels, and sounds like the Custodian Games.
Player as Storyteller — Systems that turn every participant’s quest into content, making the community itself the most powerful distribution channel.

WHERE YOU’LL LIVE & BUILD
This is not a remote job. Where exactly the team is based, though, is built for movement rather than fixed to one spot.
Europe is the anchor. This is where the Games are growing fastest, and where the majority of our year will be spent. The highest concentration of Custodian archetypes – impact entrepreneurs, conscious athletes, purpose-driven builders – lives within a few hours of each other across Amsterdam, Berlin, Lisbon, and London. Most Arenas will be hosted here, and so will most of our time.
Bali stays part of the rhythm. It’s where the Custodian Games originated, and it remains a place with a very high concentration of people already living at the intersection of consciousness and impact. Beyond that, the map is still being drawn. The US is next – the question is just when – and as the Games take root there, where the team spends time will keep shifting with it.
We’re not asking you to commit to a fixed schedule. We’re asking for the flexibility to build where the work actually is, season by season, as the shape of this becomes clearer. Of course, this isn’t about high-speed world travel. Wherever we are, that’s a base – a couple of months at a stretch, from which short trips happen when they’re needed.
We are building a small group of core co-creators who share not just a mission but a way of life – working together, training together, building something together that none of us could reach alone. Families are welcome.
This is not a startup that asks you to sacrifice everything for the product. The product is the integrated life.
This is how we work in the founding phase, because you cannot build a movement around human development without actually practicing it together, in person. Of course, that needs to change as we scale. But right now, proximity and the agility to move where the mission needs us – are the method.
If you’ve spent years looking for a professional context that doesn’t make you choose between world-class work and actually living – this is that.
