!!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)
