About the role
We are looking for a Principal to lead our Ventures team. The Ventures team works to source, evaluate, and invest in high-potential companies, and drive value creation across our portfolio. This is a high-ownership role for someone who combines investment judgment with hands-on operating experience, and is a real partner to founders. Internally, you will be part of the leadership team stewarding not just the Ventures team, but also the wider firm.
What they're looking for
- Experienced early-stage investor. You have 12 to 15 years of experience spanning venture/growth investing/PE, and operating roles in early-stage startups, or related fields
- Operator at heart. You’ve worked inside a company as an operator or as part of portfolio value creation — building, scaling, or leading a function — not just advised from the outside
- Commercially-minded value creator. You understand what it takes to build and scale go-to-market motions, and you’ve developed a real point of view on how to diagnose and improve portfolio company performance
- Systems and People builder. You think in systems and design processes that reflect that. You lead by example, bring people along with you, and develop them with intention
- Strategic relationship builder. You develop long-term, trust-based relationships — with founders, co-investors, LPs, and operators — that become partners and create leverage for the firm
- Innovative thinker. You develop and share new perspectives — whether a sharper way of evaluating a market or a better approach to value creation — that shape how the firm and its portfolio companies operate
