JOIN THE WEBINARWhy We’re Here
CloudPlanet is on a mission to recruit employee-owners who are ready to embark on an adventure—charting a new way of doing business and positioning Wales as a global leader in AI adoption. This page exists because we’re looking for people who want to help make small and medium-sized businesses in Wales the most successful SMEs in the world, using AI and a whole new approach to business.
Why CloudPlanet’s offering to clients is different
Most small businesses have a handful of superstars who excel at certain roles, but inevitably, other business functions get left behind or handled “just well enough.” CloudPlanet’s unique approach is to provide these businesses with access to executive-level talent and expertise—superstars for hire—who can fill the gaps in their lineup, whether that’s IT, AI, marketing, compliance, or customer service. We use AI and deep industry experience to help our clients punch above their weight, so they can compete and thrive far beyond their size.
Why our approach to employees is different
We’re not looking for ordinary staff—we’re searching for people who want to become employee-owners, to step into roles where they can make a real impact. At CloudPlanet, you’re not just filling a job description; you’re becoming a superstar in your own right, learning and growing as you help our clients succeed. You’ll be part of a team that’s flexible, ambitious, and committed to delivering enterprise-quality solutions with small-business heart.
How it all ties together
By supporting local businesses with “superstars for hire,” CloudPlanet helps them fill the gaps in their business lineup at every stage of their journey. And we’re looking for people who want to BE those superstars—helping Welsh SMEs thrive, shaping the future of work, and building a community of employee-owners who are as invested in our clients’ success as they are in their own.
What’s Happening Now
We’re launching a series of webinars open to everyone interested in joining CloudPlanet—whether as a Founding Planeteer or as part of our First Orbit team. All webinars until 15 January 2027 are open to both tracks, so you can find your place in our movement.
Webinar Schedule:
We’re planning for a webinar per week until 15 January, each covering the same essential information. This gives you plenty of opportunities to join, ask questions, and get involved.
Commission Structure:
To support rapid growth and reward early contributors, we’re offering an 80% commission on upfront setup fees (Kickstart Bundle) and 20% commission on monthly (CloudCover) fees for every client you sell or support. This commission structure will be held for the entire first year, even after you transition to a more structured pay arrangement.
What We’re Building Together
- Wales-first, people-centred AI company
- Employee ownership from day one
- Democratic governance—decisions made in the open
- Profits reinvested in local communities
- Human × AI partnership—amplifying capability, creativity, and community
- Executive-level deliverables, small-business heart
- Deadline-not-desktime culture
- Compensation with Conscience*
*Executive salaries are capped to prevent excess. Every Planeteer earns a comfortable living wage, especially those in entry-level roles. Reward packages reflect the time and value each person gives to the company. Wealth is redefined—not as a ladder with unreachable rungs, but as a shared foundation that supports a strong, secure working majority, thriving local communities, and proper public services through fair taxation. Profits always go to stakeholders—employee-owners and the local community—not shareholders.
We’re redefining what a service business can be for SMEs. CloudPlanet acts as your IT department, marketing department, compliance department, and more—powered by AI and decades of small-business experience. The website is just one part of a much larger business management suite, including public and internal AI chatbots, tailored content packages, coordinated social media, lead generation, and business management.

What We're Loking For
We’re searching for people who want to become employee-owners and make a real impact. At CloudPlanet, you’ll have the opportunity to step into roles where you’ll learn quickly, grow professionally, and help our clients succeed. We’re building a team of adaptable, ambitious individuals who are ready to take on new challenges, develop expertise across business functions, and deliver work that truly matters—all while staying grounded in the values of community and collaboration.
Why January 15th Matters
We’re planning to host dozens of webinars between now and 15 January—ideally three per week—to give as many people as possible the opportunity to learn about CloudPlanet and join our movement. Each webinar will cover the same essential information, so you can choose the date that works best for you.
The January 15th cut-off is for new Founders only. If you want to come on board in any capacity, you don’t need to wait until then. We’re actively recruiting and working together right now—bringing in new clients, building our team, and driving revenue from day one. After the cut-off, we’ll hold our first AGM to ratify our company structure and organisation.
To support rapid growth and reward early contributors, we’re offering an 80% commission on upfront setup fees (Kickstart Bundle) and 20% commission on monthly (CloudCover) fees for every client you sell or support. This commission structure will be held for the entire first year, or until you transition to a more structured pay arrangement.
