About Welocity.ai
Welocity.ai is an AI-native talent delivery platform helping businesses hire the right talent faster through AI-powered assessments, intelligent talent matching and outcome-led hiring solutions.
Combining AI capabilities with human expertise, we help businesses simplify hiring and achieve better recruitment outcomes. As we expand our presence in the UK, we’re looking for a commercially driven, high-energy individual to help build our network, win new business and accelerate growth across the London market.
The Role
We’re looking for someone who loves the startup world, thrives on meeting people and knows how to turn relationships into business.
London is full of ambitious founders, fast-growing companies, influential communities and people building the next big thing. We want someone who thrives at the centre of this ecosystem.
You might be the person everyone recognises at industry events, the one founders enjoy talking to, or the connector people call when they need the right introduction. You build relationships naturally, spot opportunities quickly and have the commercial instinct to turn conversations into tangible results.
This is a hands-on, business development-led growth role for someone who wants to make things happen rather than wait for things to happen.
If you love the pace of startups, bring infectious energy to a room and want to help build something ambitious, we want to meet you.
What You’ll Do
· Build your network: Develop meaningful relationships with London’s founders, scale-ups, technology leaders, CHROs, Talent Acquisition leaders and senior decision-makers.
· Drive commercial growth: Identify new business opportunities, initiate conversations, secure meetings and convert prospects into customers.
· Own the room: Represent Welocity.ai at startup events, industry conferences, founder meetups and networking communities. Build visibility and credibility in the London market.
· Create strategic partnerships: Build relationships with accelerators, investors, startup communities, recruitment firms, coworking spaces and ecosystem partners.
· Make things happen: Work directly with leadership to test ideas, open doors, explore new channels and accelerate UK market expansion.
· Turn connections into revenue: Follow up consistently, nurture relationships, manage the sales pipeline and progress opportunities towards commercial closure.
· Bring market insights back: Identify emerging opportunities, understand customer needs and share insights that shape our growth strategy.
Who We’re Looking For
We want a startup enthusiast with a commercial mindset, exceptional people skills and an instinct for building relationships.
· Experience: 4–5 years in business development, commercial growth, partnerships, enterprise sales or another relationship-led role.
· A genuine networker: You enjoy meeting people, building connections and developing relationships that last beyond a single conversation.
· Strong relationship-building skills: You can engage confidently with founders, executives and senior decision-makers.
· Commercially driven: You understand how to turn introductions and conversations into qualified opportunities, partnerships and revenue.
· Startup-crazy: You genuinely enjoy fast-paced startup environments, ambitious goals, experimentation and the challenge of building something from the ground up.
· High energy and initiative: You’re proactive, resourceful and comfortable taking ownership without waiting for instructions.
· Excellent communication: You’re articulate, persuasive and comfortable representing a growing business in professional settings.
· Adaptable and resilient: You can handle changing priorities, learn quickly and keep moving when things don’t go to plan.
Experience in the startup, technology, recruitment or talent ecosystem is an advantage. Familiarity with HubSpot, Salesforce or similar CRM platforms is beneficial.
Education
An MBA or Master’s degree in Business, Management, Marketing or a related discipline is preferred, but we also value relevant commercial experience, entrepreneurial drive and a demonstrated ability to deliver results.
What Success Looks Like
· Building a strong, relevant network across London’s startup and enterprise ecosystem.
· Generating a consistent pipeline of qualified business opportunities.
· Converting relationships and partnerships into client meetings, new customers and revenue.
· Establishing Welocity.ai as a recognised name within relevant UK business communities.
· Taking ownership of initiatives and delivering measurable commercial outcomes.
