This is NOT a job ad

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 + tech-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, LinkedIn, creative angles)
• Track leads like a pro (pipeline, follow-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 vice-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:

• You're
  22–28
  , 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 tech-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
  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

(We're 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:

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 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).

That's it.

• Role:
  Business Manager Junior
• Location:
  Lisbon
• Work model:
  100% on-site
• Start: ASAP (but we'll do it properly)
