Descripción del empleo

Join a startup in the hottest new role in town.

At Jumpstart, we help ambitious ex-consultants, bankers, and founders land roles at the UK's most exciting VC-backed startups as a Commercial Associate or Commercial Generalist.

This isn't a standard sales role. Startups don't have a playbook or set way of selling to customers - you'll come in and start owning deals from day one, as well as setting up and defining how the startup makes revenue, who they sell to, and working with the product team to refine what they sell. This is one of the most sought-after roles in startups at the moment.

Why Jumpstart?

Landing a Commercial Associate role through Jumpstart means more than just a job offer:

• Work with high-growth, VC-backed startups - Connect directly with the UK's most exciting startups.
• Chat directly with founders & Commercial Leads - Get fast responses and direct outreach from founders who are actively hiring.
• 1:1 interview training & support - Tailored prep with startup sales leaders so you can go into every interview with confidence.
• Community & mentorship - Join a network of Jumpstart alumni and mentors to help you smash targets and accelerate your career once in role.

What you'll do

While the exact role varies by startup, typical Commercial Associate responsibilities include:

• Owning accounts and closing deals - Running outbound, demos, and closing deals with often very senior and high-powered customers.
• Being entrepreneurial with outreach - A great CA uses thought leadership, events, precisely targeted messaging, and marketing, as well as traditional sales tactics, to get clients interested on behalf of the startup.
• Using data and analysis to refine decision-making - In startups, there is no playbook. You'll need to dig into the data, work out who the ideal customer is, and A/B test different tactics and initiatives to see what works.
• Working with product and tech leaders - At such an early stage, a CA will be actively liaising between customers and tech teams to evolve the product in a way that suits customers.
• Building new channels & growth initiatives - Coming up with new methods and strategies to build revenue and pipeline for your startup.
• Implementing AI & automation across the stack - Use agents, LLMs, and automation tools to make the GTM function more effective and improve performance.

Is this you?

• 1-5 years of banking/finance experience - High-pressure environments where you're dealing with demanding clients. Sales & Trading also fits in here.
• 1-5 years of consulting experience - Working directly with clients and structuring/solving complex problems.
• Founded your own venture - Experience of the 0-1 journey firsthand.

Most importantly, we want people who:

• Are motivated by exceeding targets and can demonstrate how they've done this before.
• Are confident speaking with decision-makers and can build rapport quickly.
• Are highly ambitious and looking for a career that gives them real ownership.
• Are AI-native - fluent in using and deploying AI tools that actually make a difference.

The important stuff

• Average base salaries: £60-80K OTE (depending on startup & role seniority).
• Startups: Seed to Series A, with ~50% of roles not advertised elsewhere.
