Sales Development Representative

What we do

Passionfruit is the world’s fastest-growing marketing freelancer platform, having raised $13.3m across seed and Series A rounds from top VCs in Europe and the US. Our goal is to create a sustainable and rewarding alternative to full-time work by offering a platform where anyone can work, learn, and earn as a freelancer. For many, freelancing is a difficult and unpredictable career choice, often leading back to full-time employment. Passionfruit aims to change that, making freelancing a viable long-term option for those who want it.

Client wise - we are focused on transforming how businesses manage talent, specifically in marketing departments, which currently rely on expensive agencies or full-time hiring. Both options are problematic: agencies are costly and often unreliable, while full-time hiring is stalled after continual layoffs. Passionfruit provides a third solution - an agile talent layer that allows businesses to plug in specialist freelance marketing talent as needed. This approach is more efficient and impactful, helping businesses build teams with the exact skill sets they require. As we continue to grow, our challenge is to expand our reach and become a critical partner for brands across the USA and UK/Europe.
