This is a practical business support position, working directly with Gen3

Block's founder. The work is varied, but the standard is simple: be accurate, follow through, and make the next action clear.

• Research relevant companies, business needs and opportunities from reliable sources.
• Draft professional follow-ups and prepare contact notes for approval.
• Keep CRM records, actions, decisions and deadlines organised.
• Help coordinate information, documents and meeting preparation for client and partner work.
• Look for relevant events, potential training opportunities and procurement notices; summarise what matters.
• Use approved digital tools and AI assistance responsibly, verifying facts before sharing them.

The person

Someone who researches carefully, communicates clearly, keeps things organised, follows through and knows when to ask questions.

• You write clearly and can explain your reasoning.
• You check facts instead of copying the first result you find.
• You can organise your own work, ask useful questions and meet agreed deadlines.
• You are comfortable with spreadsheets, documents, research tools or learning equivalent systems.
• You protect confidential information and understand when to seek approval.

You don't need a particular degree, a programming background or a previous business-development job title. Relevant evidence may come from work, study, volunteering or personal projects.

What this role isn't

It's not a coding job, a high-pressure sales position or an expectation to know everything on day one. It's also not about sending generic messages or copying unchecked AI answers.

What you can expect

You'll receive a defined set of responsibilities, clear approval boundaries and opportunities to build practical research, communication and coordination experience. We will explain the specific working arrangement and expectations before inviting candidates to complete an assessment.
