We’re working exclusively with a well-established, evergreen VC fund investing in early-stage and growth-stage, post-revenue UK tech businesses across fintech, business services and health tech. They’ve built a strong track record over a number of years and continue to deploy capital consistently across software-led businesses. This is a hands-on Investment Manager role in a small team. You’ll be involved from origination through to execution and then working with founders post-investment. There’s also a clear path into board-level exposure fairly early on.

Responsibilities: • Lead end-to-end due diligence processes, coordinating internal and external experts to assess commercial, financial, operational, and technical risks., • Structure, negotiate, and execute transactions across venture, growth equity, private equity, and project-finance-aligned investment structures., • Prepare investment memoranda and lead internal decision-making processes, synthesising complex information into clear recommendations for the Investment Committee., • Be the gatekeeper on standards of excellence in financial modelling and institutional standard investment presentations., • Present investment opportunities to the Investment Committee, articulating key risks, opportunities, and structuring considerations, and demonstrating in depth knowledge and insight when responding to questions., • Manage internal and external stakeholders throughout transaction processes, including founders, co-investors, advisors, legal counsel, and technical specialists., • Draft term sheets and own the firm's position during negotiation on the detail in legal drafting to appropriately reflect risk reward appetite and mandate., • Oversee portfolio company performance, monitoring financial, operational, and strategic developments across the investment portfolio., • Partner with founders and management teams to drive value creation initiatives including growth strategy, product development, pricing, operational improvements, governance, and capital planning., • Serve as a board member or board observer where appropriate, supporting portfolio leadership teams while ensuring strong governance and accountability., • Identify and evaluate potential exit pathways, including strategic sales, secondary transactions, and other liquidity events., • Lead, mentor, and develop investment associates and analysts, setting high standards for analytical rigour, judgement, and professional development., • Strengthen and institutionalise the firm's investment processes, including sourcing frameworks, diligence methodologies, and portfolio monitoring and valuation systems., • Represent the firm within the broader investment ecosystem, including industry events, founder communities, and sector-specific networks., • Contribute to firm-wide initiatives including strategic planning, hiring, organisational development, managing and implementing tools and processes., • Champion the use of advanced analytical and AI tools to enhance the firm's investment sourcing, diligence, and portfolio support capabilities. Requirements: • High intellectual standards, genuine curiosity and strong ethical and moral compass at all times., • Bachelor’s degree in an analytical discipline (e.g., engineering, science, mathematics, computer science, finance, or economics)., • 10 to 15+ years of relevant professional experience in management consulting, private equity, venture capital, buy-side investment banking, or operating roles in high-growth technology companies., • 5+ years of experience working on direct investment transactions., • Demonstrated ability to lead investments end-to-end, including sourcing, diligence, transaction structuring, negotiations, and portfolio value creation., • Strong financial modelling capabilities, including integrated three-statement models and experience modelling venture, LBO, project-finance, or structured-finance scenarios., • Exceptional analytical and strategic thinking, with the ability to develop independent investment views in complex and ambiguous environments., • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to synthesise complex financial, technical, or strategic topics for diverse audiences., • Established relationship‑building and influencing skills, with experience working directly with founders, management teams, co‑investors, bankers, and industry partners., • Experience managing and mentoring junior team members while maintaining high standards of analytical rigour and judgement., • Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent investment processes., • Entrepreneurial mindset with curiosity about technology, business models, and financial structuring., • A deep curiosity with business, technology, trends, and financial structuring, with a track record of self‑directed domain learning., • Eligibility to work in the United Kingdom and willingness to travel globally.
