The Role

We are looking for a sharp, resourceful Associate to work directly alongside the Managing Partner as a true right hand across all facets of fund operations, deal sourcing, investor relations, and internal systems. This is not a back-office support role. You will be deeply embedded in the investment process, LP communications, and the technology infrastructure that powers our firm. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable building a financial model, drafting investor outreach, managing a CRM pipeline, and shipping a workflow automation.

This is a part-time position (20 to 40 hours per week) with meaningful exposure to every dimension of running a venture growth fund.

What You'll Do

Investment Operations & Deal Support

Support due diligence efforts including company research, competitive analysis, financial modeling, and preparation of investment committee materials
Maintain and manage deal, LP, founder, and VC pipelines in CRM, ensuring data accuracy and timely updates across all stages of engagement
Source and vet potential investments across primary rounds and secondary market channels
Track portfolio company developments and flag relevant updates for the investment team

Investor Relations & Outreach

Draft and manage LP communications, outreach, and co-investment syndications
Execute multi-channel outreach campaigns to LPs, VCs, and founders
Prepare and distribute LP-facing materials including newsletters, pipeline reports, and meeting summaries
Manage sequencing and scheduling of outreach cadences, tracking engagement and conversion across the funnel

Systems, Automation & Internal Tools

Build and optimize workflow automations that increase the team's operational leverage
Contribute to the development and refinement of internal AI-powered tools (email drafting, CRM enrichment, outreach sequencing)
Improve prompts, templates, and protocols for AI-assisted processes across the firm
Provide feedback and testing support on internal applications as they scale

What We're Looking For

Required

1 to 3 years of experience in venture capital, growth equity, investment banking, or a closely related investing role
Strong understanding of the venture growth landscape: late-stage private companies, secondary markets, IPO dynamics, and how funds operate
Proficiency with CRM platforms (Affinity strongly preferred) and outreach/sequencing tools
Excellent written communication skills with the ability to draft polished, professional correspondence on behalf of the firm
High attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple workstreams independently in a fast-paced, small-team environment

Strongly Preferred

Familiarity with software development concepts and tools; comfort working with APIs, automation platforms, and AI-assisted workflows (Python, Power Automate, or similar)
Experience with financial modeling and valuation analysis for private companies
Knowledge of secondary market platforms (Forge, Nasdaq Private Market, Zanbato, etc.)
Existing network or exposure to the VC and founder ecosystem

Who Thrives Here

You are proactive, not reactive. You see a gap in a process and fix it before being asked.
You are comfortable context-switching between investor communications, deal analysis, and technical projects in a single day.
You take ownership.
You are intellectually curious about markets, technology, and how great companies are built.
