About the role:This is a highly visible, people-oriented role for someone who genuinely enjoys meeting new people, starting conversations, and creating a great first impression.
You'll spend significant time representing Bolt at conferences and industry events, engaging attendees, helping identify relevant prospects, introducing them to the right members of the Bolt team, and ensuring promising conversations turn into organized follow-up.
You'll also support the broader Business Development team between events, giving you exposure to enterprise sales, partnerships, emerging compute technologies, and some of the world's most innovative technology companies.

- Quickly identify promising customers, partners, investors, and industry contacts and connect them with the appropriate Bolt team member
- Help prepare for events, including target-account research, meeting coordination, invitations, logistics, and materials
- Capture relevant conversations and contacts in HubSpot and ensure timely follow-up
- Support customer and partner meetings as needed
- Research companies and contacts for the BD organization
