Use your deal-making skills to build a powerful network of London’s fastest-growing technology companies.
Are you excited by meeting with London’s brightest entrepreneurs and learning about ground-breaking technology? Are you ambitious, driven and hungry to establish yourself as a part of London’s thriving startup ecosystem? Do you dream of having autonomy over your own fast-paced business development career?
If so, read on!
GrantTree works with many of the UK’s most innovative companies, helping them to maximise their government funding opportunities. Our partner network consists of fast moving technology companies and affiliates including Microsoft Accelerator, Monzo and Crowdcube, to name just a few. We’re looking for an enthusiastic deal-maker to make this network even better.
As part of GrantTree’s partnerships team, you will be identifying, building and managing strategic partnerships with scaleups. You’ll be dealing directly with senior executives and founders, negotiating commercial deals and building high value client relationships. You’ll also be working with and meeting clients all over the capital, with freedom to design how and where you work (swanky cafe meetings are a staple!).
But you won’t be going it alone. You’ll be learning from an experienced and highly successful partnerships and sales team, who will prepare you to assemble and manage your own network and sales pipeline.
On a typical day, you might:
- Pitch GrantTree’s services to potential clients
- Broker partnerships and negotiate commercial deals with founders, FDs and CTOs
- Identify, develop and manage strategic partnerships with scaleup affiliates
- Attend a network event or run a workshop explaining GrantTree’s offering
- Report results to GrantTree’s sales team
About Us
GrantTree has a unique way of working. In our culture, everyone has the freedom, power and trust to do their best work.

We allow you to explore your potential, and do what you love doing, without the shackles of people managers. Ultimately, we aim to uphold human aliveness and commercial success simultaneously. It has been successful for us so far, although it’s not for everyone (check out our GlassDoor reviews to learn more).
REQUIREMENTS
- Strong networking and communications skills
- At least 2 years experience in a commercial role
- Success in closing sales leads
- Experience with the startup and scaleup ecosystem
- Curiosity and enthusiasm for cutting-edge technology
