About the job !!This is NOT a job ad
Its a starter mission for someone who wants to learn how a tech company grows by helping it grow.
Welcome to Nimber (Lisbon, boutique software house + tech-driven consulting, 3 years young, moving fast, building custom digital products with people who actually care).
Were looking for a Business Manager Junior.
But if youre expecting Responsibilities / Requirements / Benefits in a boring list
youre in the wrong internet.
THE NIMBER TEST (read carefully)
Youre in our Lisbon office. Great coffee. Good vibes. No red tape.
A client just messaged:
We need a team for a new digital product. Tight timeline. Clear budget. We want people who communicate well and dont vanish.
At the same time:
- Delivery is asking: What exactly are we selling here?
- Recruitment is asking: What profile are we hiring?
- Marketing is asking: Whats the story we tell publicly?
And then someone turns to you and says:
Ok. Youre up. What do we do next?
If that sentence gives you energy (not panic), keep reading.
YOUR ROLE (in one line)
Youre the person who turns chaos into movement — connecting market client team delivery growth.
Not with busy work.
With ownership.
YOUR 3 MODES (aka: what youll actually do)
1) HUNTER MODE (market prospecting)
Youll help us find opportunities before they become obvious:
- Identify target companies + decision makers (smartly, not spammy)
- Open doors (cold outreach, warm intros, events, LinkedIn, creative angles)
- Track leads like a pro (pipeline, follow-ups, next step discipline)
- Learn how consulting deals actually happen in real life
Translation: youll become dangerous in the best way.
2) ORCHESTRATOR MODE (client & project management)
Youll help keep client projects healthy:
- Coordinate with delivery teams so promises match reality
- Follow up with clients (timelines, expectations, whats next?)
- Spot risks early (and act before they become dramas)
- Keep things moving without needing constant instruction
Translation: youll learn how to run the business, not just observe it.
3) CONNECTOR MODE (bridge between delivery / marketing / recruitment)
Youll be the glue:
- Align what we sell with what we can deliver
- Translate tech talk into client talk (and vice-versa)
- Support recruitment: what profiles we need, why, and how to attract them
- Help with pitch decks, proposals, positioning, messaging
Translation: youll sit at the intersection where companies either scale or stall.
WHO THIS IS FOR (radical honesty)
This is for you if:
- Youre 22–28, recent grad, and your brain hates just doing tasks
- You have an entrepreneurial mindset (even if youve never had a business)
- Youre comfortable with ambiguity and can create structure
- Youre tech-curious (you dont need to code, but you dont fear tech people)
- You communicate clearly, confidently, and respectfully
- You speak Portuguese + English fluently (youll use both)
- You like people and problem-solving (rare combo, super valuable)
No experience required.
But ownership is required.
WHO THIS IS NOT FOR
This is not for you if:
- You want a job where someone tells you exactly what to do every day
- You hate follow-ups, outreach, or putting yourself out there
- You want remote-first (this is 100% on-site in Lisbon)
- You need a slow environment to feel safe
(Were warm and supportive — but we move.)
WHAT YOU GET (the non-fluffy version)
- A real startup environment: fast, direct, no bureaucracy
- A close-knit team: young, ambitious, and allergic to BS
- Exposure to clients, deals, recruitment, delivery, marketing — early
- A chance to shape how Nimber grows (not watch from the sidelines)
- A beautiful Lisbon office, great coffee, and yes good vibes (for real)
