Serendipity
By Aeon Black
Your expertise could be the start of something more
Join Serendipity, Aeon Black’s network of independent professionals and specialist businesses. Bring your expertise to relevant client projects and connect with a growing network built to develop new opportunities together.
We get to know what you do best, understand what each assignment needs and bring together people whose capabilities complement one another.
Broader possibilities
Good connections create new possibilities
A valuable opportunity can begin with expertise meeting a need, a conversation revealing a shared interest, or an idea finding the right people to develop it. Serendipity is about creating more of those possibilities.
We start with a practical focus: connecting proven capabilities to paid client work. By understanding your experience, interests and availability, we can approach you about assignments where your contribution is relevant and build teams around what the work requires.
You gain another route to projects, exposure to different clients and the chance to contribute alongside complementary specialists. Together, those capabilities can open up work that may be difficult to take on alone.
As Serendipity develops, we will introduce more structured ways for members to combine relationships, ideas and expertise to create business opportunities together. You can contribute to delivery, explore opportunities with us, or do both as these activities develop.
Who we’re looking for
Expertise and the willingness to build together
We welcome independent consultants, contractors, founders and specialist businesses with proven expertise and a collaborative approach.
You might bring strategy, research, customer experience, marketing, design, technology, data, implementation or another specialist capability. You may also see opportunities through your relationships, market knowledge or ideas. We are interested in what you can contribute and how you would like to participate.
Proven capability
Relevant experience, demonstrable outcomes and a clear understanding of where you add value.
Professional commitment
Reliable delivery, sound judgement and respect for clients and collaborators.
Collaborative approach
A willingness to share perspectives, work with complementary expertise and explore possibilities together.
Membership is curated. Our initial focus is on capabilities relevant to Aeon Black’s client work, while building relationships that can support future collaboration.
How it works
A considered approach to connecting people and projects
Tell us what you bring
Apply with your expertise, experience and the types of work that interest you. Tell us whether you are interested in project delivery, developing opportunities together, or both. Your interests can evolve over time.
We get to know you
We review your experience, evidence of outcomes and fit with our work. Where useful, we will arrange a conversation or ask for more detail to understand your contribution.
We explore the right opportunities
If accepted, you become a member of Serendipity. When a relevant assignment arises, we consider the expertise required, your experience and availability, and how you would work within the proposed team. We then contact you to discuss the role and commercial terms.
A network built on trust
Your expertise matters, and so does your time. We explain what each opportunity involves and agree scope, responsibilities and commercial terms before you commit. You choose whether to participate. Membership does not guarantee work.
