Representative Bogota

This is not an employment position nor a traditional corporate role. It is an independent representative role, with project-based compensation, suitable as a complementary activity for professionals with solid business experience and a high degree of autonomy.

As our Representative in Bogota, you will be an vital member of the Colombia country team. This team consists of two country managers (one in the Netherlands and one in Bogota) and a project officer in the Netherlands, as well as 8 other representatives across Colombia. As the first point of contact for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the region, you promote PUM's mission, identify potential clients, and build trust with entrepreneurs and local partners. Your strength in acquisition and networking will be key to expanding PUM's reach and creating lasting impact. You're not just a PUM representative, you are an ambassador  

What you'll Do  

• Acquire new clients: SMEs that align with PUM's mission.

• Build and maintain networks with key stakeholders, including business clubs, entrepreneurs, and professionals.

• Partner with entrepreneurs as they pursue sustainable and inclusive business growth.

• Coordinate collaboration between entrepreneurs and PUM's experts to ensure smooth project implementations.

• Deliver a minimum of 10 successful projects per year.  

This is a flexible, part-time role that comes with a basic remuneration of €100 per month to cover your local travel, communication, and basic operational costs. In addition, you'll receive €400 for every successfully completed project. While this is not a salaried position, it is a meaningful and motivating opportunity for those who want to make a long-term difference for local entrepreneurs and communities. We prefer candidates who can commit for at least four years. At PUM, we value diversity and inclusion. We welcome you as you are and strive to create an environment where everyone can contribute and thrive.  

Who are you?  

• Well-connected across SMEs, business associations, institutions, and government, fostering collaboration and influence.

• Experienced, with at least 5 years of proven success in sales, business development, consulting, or project management.

• Deeply knowledgeable about the socio-economic context, language, and culture of Colombia.

• An experienced professional with a strategic approach toward building a client portfolio.

• Strong interview and listening skills to uncover clients' true needs and translate them into opportunities.  

• Fluent in English and Spanish, both spoken and written.

• Available to work approximately 12-16 hours per week, spread across multiple days.

By becoming a PUM representative, you're not just stepping into a new role; you're becoming a catalyst for positive change. It's a two-way street of knowledge exchange that makes a global impact. Here's what's in it for you: 

• Continuous Learning: Embrace new perspectives and gain insights by connecting with diverse people and cultures. 

• Professional Network: Be part of a network of approximately 1200 volunteers and let your network abroad grow as well. 

• Optimal Knowledge Utilization: Put your expertise to its best use, making tangible impact on businesses worldwide.
