Job Title: Analyst

Salary Guide: Competitive

An early-stage venture capital firm is seeking a highly motivated Analyst to join its investment team. With a strong track record to date and a new fund to be launched in the coming months, this is a rare opportunity to gain hands-on experience in all aspects of early-stage investing - from sourcing and evaluating start-ups to supporting portfolio companies post-investment.

The firm was established by a high profile founder in 2021 and has since built out a presence in New York, and with an increasing amount of investments coming out of Europe, they are eager to expand their presence in London. They target Series A and Series B investments, with capital deployment ranging between $1 – 7m.

Capacity in the team means they have a gap for someone coming from a strong finance background, likely audit & ACA trained with a minimum of 2 years in a transactions role.

As part of a small, high-performing team, you will be immersed in the venture ecosystem, working directly with experienced investors, founders, and ecosystem partners.

• Source and evaluate new investment opportunities across Europe, particularly in pre-seed and seed-stage start-ups.
• Conduct market research, competitive analysis, and due diligence to support investment decisions.
• Assist in preparing investment memos and materials for internal discussions.
• Work with founders post-investment to add value, track progress, and identify follow-on opportunities.
• Attend pitch events, demo days, and ecosystem gatherings to stay close to emerging trends and start-ups.
• Contribute to fund initiatives, portfolio reviews, and operational processes.

Skills

The skills and experience required for this Analyst role include, but are not limited to:

• Audit trained ACA, with 2+ years post-qualified experience in a transactions role.
• Excellent financial analysis and commercial acumen.
• Good research, writing, and communication skills.
• Highly proficient in Excel and comfortable working with data.
• Ability to manage time, juggle multiple projects, and take initiative in a fast-paced environment.
