  • Make an impact at a top, mission-driven startup. 

This programme is designed for people with some experience (1-3 years), who are keen to build a career in startups. But if you’re straight out of uni and have a 6+ months experience, we’d love to still hear from you! 👇

What People Are Saying

“In my role I can get involved with absolutely everything, from operations to accounting, to strategy, to the product and design side of things. I’ve been able to learn things that I never anticipated.”

Edward Anders Founder's Associate, Compose

“I love the variety involved in my day-to-day role. In fast-paced, high-growth startup fashion, my priorities and focuses change with the businesses, and the amount of exposure across the suite of business activities which comes with that is really cool.”

Charlotte Rowell Founder Associate @ Zero Gravity

“With a lot of job applications you’re knocking on doors and no one answers, but Jumpstart’s reversal of the process with people pitching to you was insanely attractive”
