Executive Compensation
RLD Sustain recognizes that exceptional executive leadership deserves exceptional executive compensation.
The successful candidate should understand that RLD Sustain Holdings Corporation is presently a Pre-Revenue, Pre-Operating Assets, and Pre-Collateral enterprise preparing to secure its initial Bridge Debt Loan Financing Facility.
Accordingly, the Founding Fractional Chief Executive Officer's annual base salary shall begin accruing immediately upon the mutual execution of the Executive Employment Agreement.
The successful candidate acknowledges and agrees that payment of all accrued compensation shall commence upon RLD Sustain Holdings Corporation successfully securing, obtaining approval for, and receiving funding equal to at least seventy-five percent (75%) of its initial Bridge Debt Loan Financing Facility, unless otherwise authorized by the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Upon achieving this funding milestone, all accrued compensation shall be promptly paid through the Company's normal payroll process, after which the Chief Executive Officer shall continue to receive compensation in accordance with the Executive Employment Agreement.
The Executive Employment Agreement provides:
- Annual Base Salary: $700,000.

Why This Opportunity Is Different
Most executive opportunities involve managing companies that have already been built.
This opportunity offers something far less common.
It offers the opportunity to help build an enterprise from its earliest stage alongside an engaged founder and Chairman of the Board while establishing the leadership culture, operational discipline, governance framework, and execution systems that will guide the Company's long-term success.
If you are an experienced executive who enjoys building exceptional organizations rather than simply maintaining existing ones, we encourage you to apply.

- Executive cover letter.
- A brief summary describing the largest organization, company, or strategic initiative you have personally led.
