Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Comfortable presenting numbers to executives and turning an ambiguous question into a clear answer
  • High ownership, low ego, and fast. Your work goes straight to the exec team and board
  • Bonus: experience at a marketplace, fintech, or usage-based business, a Series B–C fundraise, hands-on with a planning tool (Pigment, Anaplan) or SQL/BI (Metabase, Looker)
  • Experience in multi-sided / marketplace businesses
