THE PULSE OF INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE NORDICS!

Since 2013, TechBBQ has worked to support and strengthen the Nordic ecosystem for

entrepreneurship and innovation based on the distinctive Nordic values of openness,

inclusion, trust and meeting each other at eye level. TechBBQ is Scandinavia's largest

startup and innovation summit. For more information, check out techbbq.dk. TechBBQ is looking for a Partnerships Manager to join our Partnerships team. The Partnerships team is a small, dedicated team that works closely with the entire Nordic startup ecosystem to build strong partnerships and create activities for our ecosystem. The Partnerships Manager will be assisting the Head of Partnerships and the Head of Investor Relations. This involves increasing our pipeline through research and outreach, as well as taking good care of our already existing corporate and investor partners.

Who are you?

• No fancy education is required, but high levels of empathy is a must!

• You love entrepreneurship, ecosystem building, and innovation. You probably read about it on the weekends and watched WeCrashed and Start-up with excitement!

• You preferably have working experience with inbound & outbound account/partnership management.

• You love a challenge, and you thrive in a collaborative work environment that gives individuals high levels of autonomy.

• You like doing research and making informed decisions.

• You thrive by building structure in chaos. TechBBQ is a dynamic work environment with very few dull moments - and we need to think smart to be most efficient.

• You are, besides all of the above, very result driven and want to create a very successful career for yourself while doing good for both society and the world we live in.

You will feel successful if you:

• Identify and establish commercial partnerships with different companies/investors across the Nordics

• Lead or take part in independent projects that make a difference for the Nordic Startup ecosystem

• Are a team player who has a "greater good" perspective rather than an individualistic perspective. It's more important to have your colleagues back when they go through tough times than to land a sale.

Main Tasks & Responsibilities:

• Research on new potential corporate partners and VC funds to increase pipeline

• Outreach to inbound partners

• Outreach to potential partners

• Account management

• Contract preparation and follow up

• Improve our services to partners together with the team

• Event planning & execution (side events, on-/offline)

P.s. Don't get us wrong, we love entrepreneurship, ecosystems, and technology; but this is a commercial role, and you gotta love sales, business development, and partnerships to thrive in it.
