About Hyper
Hyper is the UK’s leading Start-Up, changing the startup landscape one game-changing project at a time. Our mission is to ultimately empower new entrepreneurs so that the ideas they create have the best possible chance of success, regardless of the founder’s experience, background, network or capabilities.
Our core focus is in the technology industry, where we work with both established and emerging technologies. To date Hyper has helped over 1500 startups with £173,000,000 raised by our Portfolio of Hyper Startups; we are there from the idea stage, throughout their startup journey, through to first money and beyond.
What makes us different?
Our Accelerate Process provides entrepreneurs with the essential skills, tools, knowledge and platform needed to launch and scale a new start-up idea. We aren’t afraid to get our ‘hands dirty’ working closely with each founder to ensure that their idea is executed to a high standard, before guiding them on the path towards building partnerships, raising investment and launching a successful technology business.
What’s the role?
As the Junior Commercial Strategist, you are the sales superhero responsible for finding the next Founders of game-changing start-ups in London. Your role will be to source and meet with aspiring founders, explain the Hyper Accelerate process, build a relationship with the Founder, and provide mentorship and ongoing support throughout their journey from idea to investment.
The successful candidate will play a vital role in our rapidly expanding team.
You’ll be responsible for:

• Attracting several new founders to come into the Hyper Accelerator Program each month.
• Contacting warm incoming founder leads and booking appointments for a strategy session, explaining Hyper’s Accelerator program and value proposition.
• Sourcing and partnering with the Start-up Ecosystem to attract your own pool of game-changing Founders.
• Building a personal brand as an expert within the Start-up Ecosystem.
• Building relationships, mentoring, and upskilling our Founders in all areas of building a start-up.
• Coordinating with the Product Management & Design team for each new start-up project (Acelerate process).
• Keeping up to date with the latest start-up/tech announcements, attending external workshops/events where necessary and running your own.
• Promote our events with growth marketing techniques, sourcing new Founder talent to join Hyper.
• Illustrating initiative in creating new methods for growth

We’re looking for someone with the following qualities:

• A passion and deep desire for the Tech Start-up Community & Ecosystem
• Currently involved in the Start-Up Industry (attends events etc.)
• A desire for a career in Business Development and a love for communicating with people daily
• A self-starter with the ability to work independently
• An all-in mindset to being involved in the Industry (attend events etc, be a Brand Ambassador across social media and in real-life events)
• Entrepreneurial experience or experience in a start-up environment is a preference
• Excellent communication skills, both externally and internally.
• Preferable (but not limited to) 1-2 years’ experience in a Business Development role or Recruitment Agency role

And let’s not forget the important part, what’s in it for you:

• Connect with new tech founders, ideas and technologies before they become the next big thing
• Opportunity to upskill and continuously learn in the role
• Have a direct impact on the execution and direction of new start-ups
• Build an incredible network within the UK Start-up ecosystem
