The listing
Pragmatike is on a mission to help early-stage startups and scaleups win the talent war and build exceptional tech teams.
About the Role
We're looking for a VC Partnerships & Business Development Manager to build Pragmatike's relationships with venture capital firms and create a new growth channel for our business.
Your mission will be to build relationships with VCs and position Pragmatike as a trusted talent partner for their portfolio companies.
You'll identify and engage VC partners, principals, platform teams, and operating partners, introduce them to Pragmatike's talent solutions, and develop partnerships that can lead to opportunities across their portfolio.
This is a highly entrepreneurial, relationship-driven role. You'll be building this channel from the ground up, with significant ownership over strategy, outreach, partnerships, and revenue generation.
Why This Role Is Different
Build a VC channel from zero to one: Define our strategy for identifying, approaching, and partnering with venture capital firms.
Sell at the fund level: Build relationships with VCs that can open doors to multiple portfolio companies rather than selling one company at a time.
Create strategic partnerships: Position Pragmatike as a trusted resource VCs can recommend when their portfolio companies need exceptional technical and product talent.
High ownership: Own the full process from identifying target funds and opening conversations to developing partnerships and generating portfolio opportunities.
Work directly with founders: Collaborate closely with Pragmatike's leadership team and help shape our broader go-to-market strategy.
Build a powerful network: Develop relationships across the global VC, startup, and technology ecosystem.
You’re a Fit If You…

Have experience working with VCs, venture-backed startups, founders, or the broader startup ecosystem.
Understand how venture capital firms operate and how they support their portfolio companies.
Are highly comfortable reaching out to and building relationships with senior investors, partners, and executives.
Have a strong commercial mindset and know how to turn relationships into meaningful business opportunities.
Are entrepreneurial, proactive, and comfortable building something from scratch.
Communicate exceptionally well in English, both verbally and in writing.
Are self-motivated and comfortable working remotely with significant autonomy.
Have a genuine interest in venture capital, startups, technology, and talent.
Nice to Have
Existing relationships with VC funds, accelerators, or startup ecosystem organizations.
Experience selling recruitment, staffing, talent, HRTech, or B2B professional services.
Previous experience working in VC, portfolio support, startup platforms, or founder-facing roles.
A strong personal network within the startup and investment ecosystem.
Experience with tools such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, HubSpot, Clay, or similar platforms.
Experience working with early-stage technology companies.
Compensation & Benefits
Flexible freelance contract with competitive performance-based compensation.
Significant ownership over the development of Pragmatike's VC partnership channel.
Fully remote work environment with flexible hours.
Direct collaboration with Pragmatike's founders.
Opportunity to build a high-value network across the global venture capital and startup ecosystem.
High-growth environment with significant career progression opportunities.
