The posting

Your Role

You'll own the path from first conversation to signed partnership. Working with our CEO and our Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success teams, you'll bring StartupBlink's research and ecosystem work to governments, innovation agencies, and corporates around the world.

What you'll do

  • Qualify leads: run discovery calls to find the opportunities worth pursuing
  • Generate new opportunities: research target organizations and follow market signals, events, and conferences
  • Outreach: write personalized email and LinkedIn outreach that opens conversations with value, not pitches
  • Create proposals: Build tailored proposals for governments and corporates, and work with the CEO to align and improve our proposal templates.
  • Activate Partners from first contact to launch
  • Follow department metrics

Skills & Requirements

Must have

  • 2+ years in business development, sales, or partnerships (B2B preferred)
  • Experience running discovery or sales calls with senior stakeholders
  • Strong outreach and proposal writing
  • Professional-level English, written and spoken

Good to have

  • Pipeline management, ideally in a CRM such as HubSpot
  • Experience coordinating or managing a small team
  • Experience with governments, innovation programs, or startup organizations

What We're Looking For

  • You're a proactive self-starter who creates opportunities instead of waiting for them.
  • You're organized, persistent, and comfortable speaking with executives and decision-makers.
  • You care about economic development and startup ecosystems, and you want to grow with a close-knit, fun team and become a key part of our continued success.

Process & Conditions

  • Location: Remote, 9 AM to 5 PM CET
  • Compensation: Starting monthly salary based on experience and skills, with growth tied to your contribution to company goals
  • Hiring process: Screening questions, a short test task, and several interviews with the team
  • Vacation: 26 paid days per year

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
