The Role
This is your two-year fast track to founder or commercial leader. You’ll be embedded at the heart of our business, working side by side with our CEO and senior commercial leaders to break open markets, close serious revenue, and build a deep understanding of what it takes to run and scale a business. You’ll pitch directly to organisers, test go-to-market strategies, and own outcomes from day one. By the end of the program, you’ll either step into a senior internal leadership role or get support from us to launch your own startup.
This is not a typical job. It’s a hands-on, high-intensity, real-world MBA in building a business and you’ll earn every win. This is for future operators, entrepreneurs, and elite closers who want to learn by doing fast, hard, and with impact.
We’re accepting applications until May 9, so be sure to get yours in before then!
Responsibilities
Work directly with the CEO and commercial team to identify and scale new market opportunities
Develop and execute outbound strategies to win over event organisers
Pitch, close, and expand accounts with organisers of endurance, fitness, and experience events
Build commercial playbooks and iterate fast based on data and real-world feedback
Travel regularly for face-to-face meetings to get deals over the line
Take ownership of revenue targets and prove your market’s potential
Graduate into a senior internal commercial role or launch your own startup with our network support
About you
You’re entrepreneurial by nature: a builder, a problem-solver, and someone who gets energy from chasing down opportunities
You thrive in high-intensity environments: long hours and steep learning curves energise you. You’ve likely worked in recruitment, startups, sales, or IB and want to escape the ladder and build your own.
You’re obsessed with winning: not just working hard, but delivering outcomes. You’re competitive, tenacious, and know how to close.
You’re commercially sharp: quick on your feet in a pitch, confident in a negotiation, and always looking for angles to unlock value.
You’re coachable: hungry to learn from proven operators and grow into a leader yourself.
Who We Are
Let's Do This is the online company that gets everyone together offline.
We exist to inspire people across the world to come together and experience moments that make them feel alive. We’re currently going after mass participation sports events (Marathons, Triathlons, 10Ks, 5Ks, swim races), where we’re proud to be the global leader.
We’re at a super exciting and rapid stage of our development. We now take over 1.5 million bookings every year, driving growth for our industry from large-scale races like the UK’s London Marathon Events and the Great North Run to hero races like the Hackney Half, Peachtree Road Race, the London Triathlon, or grassroots races like those from RunThrough.
We’ve grown exponentially in the UK since our launch in 2017 and are now in the process of expanding within the US market with the same energy our brand represents. We’ve raised $90M to date and were the fastest growing company on YCombinator, and our investors also include Tier 1 VCs NFX, EQT, and legendary individuals Serena Williams and Usain Bolt.
