About HerFuture

HerFuture is on a mission to empower female tech talent by creating opportunities where none existed before. Through high-impact events, tailored programs, and meaningful partnerships with leading companies like ING, Booking.com, Rabobank, EY, KPN, Picnic, and Siemens, we are driving real change in the tech ecosystem and scaling rapidly (globally!)

Role Overview

As a Business Developer (Lead Sourcing) at HerFuture, your primary focus is to identify and qualify new partnership opportunities that align with our mission. You will be the first point of contact in discovering potential partners, building initial engagement, and feeding a strong pipeline, after which you'll collaborate with the founders to progress and close strategic agreements.

This role is about hunting for opportunities, understanding organisational goals, and uncovering alignment between prospective partners and HerFuture’s impact vision. If you are inquisitive, strategic, and passionate about building relationships that advance meaningful outcomes, then this role is for you.
