Finding a grad job sucks (trust us, we’ve been there). Countless assessments and dozens of video interviews, only to find yourself in a corporate job you don’t love.
That’s why we flipped the job search on its head. With Jumpstart, top startup sales roles find you.
Founders pitch high-growth sales roles to you. Access all the training and support you need to nail your interviews & land a role. Join our 500+ community for access to ongoing career development & support.
How does it work?
- Apply to Jumpstart - Apply in 30 seconds to our sales stream. If you look like a great fit, we’ll invite you to a short case study interview over zoom. When you (hopefully) smash the interview, you’ll be onboarded onto our sales stream.
- Top founders pitch to you - as a Jumpstarter once said, “you can’t get vibes from a job description.” Video pitches from founders bring roles & a startup’s journey to life.
- Connect with high-growth startups - Candidates shouldn’t have to do all the work so we’ve made the job search a two-way process. Apply to startups AND receive applications from startups who think you’re a standout.
- Support to nail your interviews - access comprehensive training guides, receive individual interview support and chat to Jumpstart alumni about their interview advice. You’ll have everything you need to land your dream role.
- Continued growth throughout your career - landing a role is only the start of your journey with Jumpstart. You’ll join the Jumpstart community and gain access to all the tools you need to smash your role. Think mentorship, panel events, training & more.
On average, it takes ~4 weeks to receive an offer and you can participate in the programme whilst in full-time work.

Why startup sales?
Beyond having a much more interesting answer to the Q, ‘what do you do?’, there are a couple of reasons why you should apply to Jumpstart’s sales stream.
- Perfect for aspiring future founders - many entrepreneurs & CEOs started their career in sales because the ability to sell to investors, customers & employees is key.
- Rapid progression - in a startup sales role you’ll gain a bunch of early responsibility & visibility in your role meaning lots of opportunities to impress & grow (we’ve seen Jumsptarters get promoted FAST!).
- Strong compensation & bonuses - you’ll be making a tangible impact on a company’s growth which you’ll be rewarded for!
