You might think nobody actually reads that CV of yours that you’re thinking about sending in, well that's where you’re wrong. We really do check out every CV sent in, especially those awesome ones we have in the office that have been written on Surf and Snowboards and hand delivered (we're not lying, check out the boards in our meeting room) or come with a Kinder Surprise chocolate egg!

If you’re still interested in working for Extreme, send us your CV with a brief description of your ideal job to gemma@extremeinternational.com  or by snail mail (ideally we’d prefer if you don’t post in your CV’s, as we like saving trees – unless of course it comes with an egg!).

PRE-PAY Extreme Cred
Our plan is to offer the best pre-pay cards and service out there.

It’s the awesome alternative to carrying cash, looks great in your wallet and gives you the power to keep your money safe. As it’s not a credit card you don’t have to be over 18 or have a bank account to get one, so literally anyone can get one! You get all the benefits of a normal credit card, like withdrawing your cash at any cash machine, buying stuff online, and ordering your concerts tickets over the phone etc. Our Extreme Cred card can be topped up online, at any Post Office, or at any shop…where you see the yellow PayPoint sign.

POST-PAY / CREDIT CARD
We are now close to signing a number of deals with partners in a number of countries across Europe to launch a full-on credit card focused on the 18 – 34 year old sector.

The Role:
We need the Mr. or Mrs. “Know It All” of the card / payment industry to run the biz, manage the relationship with all our partners, create plastic fantastic marketing campaigns and have a brutal understanding of the target audience which stretches beyond watching Dick and Dom “In da bungalow”…

The Candidate:
You will be:
Experienced but not set in your ways
Creative and thoughtful, but realistic and able to conjure up tangible stuff out of ingenious ideas
Professional but not squeaky clean

Core Values - People

EXTREME HOTELS – Non Executive Director

Role:
We are looking for a non executive director to work with Al Gosling (CEO) and Alec Cameron (COO) on our new concept – Ex Hotels.

You will assist Al and Alec with the business plan, provide strategic advice, protect our interests, avoid unnecessary risks and explore worldwide opportunities.

Mission:
Our mission is to revolutionize what’s on offer in the hotel sector today. We are aiming to create the world’s leading youth hotel brand by making our guests feel like rock stars. Extreme Hotels will offer a high value, low cost, entertaining, and active cutting edge hotel proposition located in some of the world's finest extreme sports and urban destinations around the world.

Targeted at our customer base, we will deliver high quality innovative design, cutting edge technology, take the social bar concept to the next level and, of course, provide great extreme sports facilities, adventure packages & equipment to all our guests at great prices. We want guests to feel the mood and atmosphere of the sports and the life-style as soon as they walk through the door….the environment will be striking, individual, and social to reflect the guests that we will have….it will be fun and as unique as possible.

The Extreme Hotels brand will reflect the core beliefs of Extreme: innovation, passion, freedom, high functionality, and affordability but with high quality. All of the above will be reflected in every area of our hotels and product offering, from the staff with a great approach to service, to the style of the rooms which will be rugged and durable, whilst being stylish. It’s all about providing what people really want and more, in funky surroundings but not giving way to impracticality.

Locations

We will deliver in surf and snow based Extreme sports locations, cities where extreme sports are part of the culture such as Cape Town, Rio and Sydney, and then just full on Urban. A key thing that we are working on is making Extreme hotels as environmentally friendly as possible.

Above all we believe that affordable doesn't have to be boring as brands like Motorola, Mini Cooper and TopShop have proven so brilliantly. We will revolutionize what’s on offer, democratize design, provide guests with an environment that is extraordinarily social, a real laugh and hopefully strike a chord with youth travellers who crave style, fun and 'the extreme' on the road.

We are now well under way and are currently putting together the senior level management team, engaged with investors, talking to operators and will have the first Extreme Hotel launched before you know it.
