Senior Business Development Associate (UK + Europe)

Republic Europe is on the lookout for a Senior Business Development Associate (UK + Europe) to join our team. If you're excited about helping groundbreaking companies in Europe get the funding they need to thrive, you're in the right place. You'll be working directly with incredible founders, guiding them through their fundraising journey and truly making a difference to their ambitions.

What You'll Be Doing

• Finding new investment opportunities across Europe through your own outreach and by tapping into your network.
• Reviewing inbound applications to spot those high-potential companies that are a perfect fit.
• Hitting and exceeding your revenue goals – both individually and as part of the team.
• Helping us make our sales processes even better and more efficient.
• Building fantastic relationships with founders and the senior teams at fast-growing European companies.
• Representing Republic Europe at various events, both online and in person.
• Sharing your expertise by advising founders on the benefits of raising capital with us and how our process works.
• Sealing the deal by negotiating and closing agreements for their fundraising rounds.

Who We're Looking For

We're hoping to find someone with:

• Around 3-5 years of experience in consultative sales, business development, or partnerships with SMEs. Or, maybe you've been in a more corporate role and have a real passion for start-ups, eager to jump into a more commercial position.
• A genuine passion for entrepreneurship and innovation. You'll love connecting with all kinds of driven founders.
• A sharp eye for detail so you can put together amazing proposals.
• A commercial mindset – someone who can spot opportunities, prioritise effectively, and drive revenue.
• Confidence chatting with C-level executives and founders, whether it's one-on-one or presenting at an event. 
• Some familiarity with early-stage investment – how it works and who the key players are.
• Someone who's a real go-getter and sets ambitious goals, then figures out clear strategies to reach them.
• A great team player who enjoys collaborating and supporting colleagues across different teams.

Bonus Points If You Have...

• Operational experience (like marketing, fundraising, legal, growth hacking, or customer acquisition) that you can share to help our entrepreneurs.
• A good understanding of marketing and how it fuels business growth.
• You're already familiar with the Republic ecosystem – maybe you've invested through our platform or even worked at one of our portfolio companies.

We believe that great talent comes in all shapes and sizes, so there's no single "perfect" profile here! Our team is made up of people from all sorts of backgrounds – sales, law, accounting, even fellow entrepreneurs. What ties us all together is a shared love for start-ups!
