Requirements

Deep proximity to GP and LP relationships, such as experience as a chief of staff to a GP, in investor relations, or in capital formation, and a real understanding of emerging fund managers' pain points.
A relationship-first approach with family office and LP audiences, building trust over time rather than using an aggressive startup-sales style.
Credibility and visibility in the emerging-manager community, with existing relationships that make people in the community willing to take the candidate's call.
A builder's temperament and willingness to map the market and execute without waiting for a playbook.
Experience using AI to work faster on tasks such as research, drafting, and pipeline hygiene, and curiosity about future applications.
Based in New York City or San Francisco and willing to work in an office with the team.
Willingness to travel up to 25% of the time.

Experience as an emerging manager or venture capitalist, or working at a fund administrator, bank, or fintech serving venture funds.
