Business Manager Trainee

Please note that this is a remote position but it requires the candidate to be based in Portugal.

What you'll actually be doing:

This is an entry-level role for recent graduates seeking to launch their careers in the commercial side of recruitment and IT services. You won't be making coffee or "shadowing" for 6 months. You'll be in the middle of the action from day 1, learning by doing. You'll work as a bridge between our recruitment team and clients, learning how to evaluate candidates, understand business needs, and support decisions that close hires (and generate revenue).

Your day-to-day:

• Learn how commercial proposals work - pricing logic, margins, and what makes clients say yes
• Work directly with clients - communicate throughout recruitment processes, track feedback, manage follow-ups
• Evaluate candidate fit - analyze profiles from both technical and business perspectives
• Support deal-closing - prepare candidate presentations and proposals that lead to placements
• Analyze what works - review results to understand what closed deals and what didn't
• Manage multiple processes - with mentorship from senior team members as you build confidence

What we're looking for in you:

Essential:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Management, Business, Economics, Finance, or similar (completed)
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills
• Fluent English (written and spoken)

More important than anything:

• Quick thinker
• Interest in understanding how commercial decisions impact pricing and revenue
• Strong communication skills and ability to structure information clearly
• Comfort working with numbers, data, and basic financial logic
• Proactive attitude - you want to learn, take ownership, and grow in a commercial role

What you can expect from us:

• Real mentorship - close guidance from people who've been there
• Hands-on learning - real clients and candidates from day one, not theory
• Understanding the business - how recruitment, consulting, and revenue actually connect
• Progressive responsibility - gain autonomy as you prove yourself
• Competitive salary + performance incentives
• Remote - work from anywhere in Portugal 

Selection Process: 

• Phase 1 - 1 minute Video
• Phase 2 - Careers Team Interview
• Phase 3 - Final Interview with Head of Business, for final validation and hiring decision.

Why this position?

If you want to start a commercial career in IT services and learn from people who close deals (not just "manage processes"), this is a solid entry point. We won't promise it'll be easy, but we promise you'll learn fast and your work will have a direct impact.
