!!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) THE APPLICATION (also not normal) Send us one message (email or LinkedIn DM). No formal cover letter. Subject line: I want the mission. In the message, include: A 30-second intro (who you are + what youre hunting in your career) A tiny proof of hustle (anything: project, side thing, event you organized, weird initiative, sports captain show momentum) Choose ONE of these mini-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 non-tech friend would understand (max 6 lines). Thats it. DETAILS (so nobody gets surprises) Role: Business Manager Junior Location: Lisbon Work model: 100% on-site Start: ASAP (but well do it properly) Experience: not required Mindset: required FINAL LINE If you want your first career step to feel like joining a rocket mid-launch (with a supportive crew and a real chance to grow fast) Send the message. Lets build something together.
