Business Unit Partner - Tech Recruimtment (revenue sharing)

Preferable Location(s): Lisbon, Portugal
Work Type: Part Time

🚀 Ready to build and lead something that actually matters?

We’re ambi.careers – not your average recruitment agency. We're building a talent marketplace that connects brilliant non-tech professionals with startups and scaleups. But now, it’s time to go beyond. We're launching our tech recruitment division – and we’re looking for someone to build it from scratch as our Business Unit Partner (Tech Recruitment).

No fluff. No corporate lingo. No outdated playbooks. Just tech-enabled recruiting built by people who get startups.

After years in executive search and building startups from zero, we’re tired of the traditional recruitment BS. We’re creating something that blends technology with real human insight – something that works for the kinds of companies we’d actually want to work for.


The Role: Tech Recruitment Business Unit Partner

This isn’t just another freelance recruiter gig.

We’re looking for a partner, not an employee — someone to open, run, and grow the tech recruitment vertical at ambi. You’ll help define the strategy, build the pipeline, close roles, and shape the future of how ambi serves the tech hiring needs of startups and scaleups.

It’s success-based for now (like most good partnerships are in the beginning), but there’s a real opportunity to build something long-term and impactful.


What you'll do:

Set up and lead ambi’s tech recruitment offering (strategy + operations)

Own the full-cycle recruitment process for tech roles (sourcing, interviewing, client management) at the beggining

Collaborate with the founding team to define go-to-market, pricing, and positioning

Generate revenue through placements (you'll earn 20% to 40% of the gross fee per closed position, typically ranging from $600 to $4,000/job)

Work remotely, on your own schedule, with full autonomy and support


This role is for you if:

You’ve hired tech talent for startups — as a recruiter, founder, or hiring manager

You’ve got a commercial mindset: you can talk to clients, close deals, and spot opportunities

You want to build and lead a business unit, not just “do recruitment”

You thrive in autonomy and are okay with freelance, commission-based compensation – for now

You speak fluent Portuguese and English

You’re looking for a long-term project you can grow with, not a short-term gig

You have real time to invest — not just 15 minutes a day


This role is NOT for you if:

You don’t enjoy talking to clients or candidates

You expect a fixed salary or benefits right away

You think recruiting is just sending LinkedIn messages and waiting

You’re not okay with some uncertainty while building something new


Curious?

Let’s have a virtual coffee. No pitch deck, just a real chat.

Apply now and let’s talk about how we can build this together.
