Lisboa
Lisboa, Lisboa, Portugal

It’s 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 +
- driven consulting, 3 years young, moving fast, building custom digital products with people who actually care).

We’re looking for a Business Manager Junior.

But if you’re expecting “Responsibilities / Requirements / Benefits” in a boring list…

…you’re in the wrong internet.

THE NIMBER TEST (read carefully)

You’re 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 don’t 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: “What’s the story we tell publicly? ”

And then someone turns to you and says:

“Ok. You’re up. What do we do next? ”

If that sentence gives you energy (not panic), keep reading.

YOUR ROLE (in one line)

You’re the person who turns chaos into movement — connecting market → client → team → delivery → growth.

Not with “busy work”.

With ownership.

YOUR 3 MODES (aka: what you’ll actually do)

1) HUNTER MODE (market prospecting)

You’ll help us find opportunities before they become obvious:

• Identify target companies + decision makers (smartly, not spammy)
• Open doors (cold outreach, warm intros, events, Linked
  In, creative angles)
• Track leads like a pro (pipeline,
  - ups, “next step” discipline)
• Learn how consulting deals actually happen in real life

Translation: you’ll become dangerous in the best way.

2) ORCHESTRATOR MODE (client & project management)

You’ll help keep client projects healthy:

• Coordinate with delivery teams so promises match reality
• Follow up with clients (timelines, expectations, “what’s next? ”)
• Spot risks early (and act before they become dramas)
• Keep things moving without needing constant instruction

Translation: you’ll learn how to run the business, not just observe it.

3) CONNECTOR MODE (bridge between delivery / marketing / recruitment)

You’ll be the glue:

• Align what we sell with what we can deliver
• Translate “tech talk” into “client talk” (and
  - versa)
• Support recruitment: what profiles we need, why, and how to attract them
• Help with pitch decks, proposals, positioning, messaging

Translation: you’ll sit at the intersection where companies either scale… or stall.

WHO THIS IS FOR (radical honesty)

This is for you if:

• Recent grad, and your brain hates “just doing tasks”
• You have an entrepreneurial mindset (even if you’ve never had a business)
• You’re comfortable with ambiguity and can create structure
• You’re
  - curious (you don’t need to code, but you don’t fear tech people)
• You communicate clearly, confidently, and respectfully
• You speak Portuguese + English fluently (you’ll use both)
• You like people and
  - 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
  - ups, outreach, or “putting yourself out there”
• You want
  - first (this is 100%
  - site in Lisbon)
• You need a slow environment to feel safe

(We’re warm and supportive — but we move. )

WHAT YOU GET (the
- fluffy version)

• A real startup environment: fast, direct, no bureaucracy
• A
  - 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)

THE APPLICATION (also not normal)

Send us one message (email or Linked
In DM). No formal cover letter.

Subject line:

“I want the mission. ”

In the message, include:

1. A 30-second intro (who you are + what you’re hunting in your career)
2. A tiny proof of hustle (anything: project, side thing, event you organized, weird initiative, sports captain… show momentum)
3. Choose ONE of these
   - challenges:

Challenge A — Prospecting instinct:

Pick one type of company in Portugal you think Nimber should target (industry + why). Write 5 lines.

Challenge B — Client reality check:

A client wants “a new app in 6 weeks”. What are the first 5 questions you ask to avoid disaster?

Challenge C — Bridge builder:

Explain what a “boutique software house” is in a way your
- tech friend would understand (max 6 lines).

That’s it.
