Job Description:

Kinetic Investments is a venture capital firm dedicated to early-stage companies that are transforming the digital landscape. Our mission is to drive startup ambitions to definitive successes through strategic investments and dynamic partnerships.

Since our inception in 2016, we have invested in 12 transformative startups and been behind over 100+ digital brands. We are not just investors; we are catalysts for change, committed to shaping the future of digital transformation.

We are looking for individuals who are switched on, passionate and motivated. If that sounds like yourself then please get in touch!

Role

The Investment team at Kinetic Investments is looking for a highly motivated and adaptable Associate to join us as we scale into our first fund (Fund I). This is a dynamic, multi-faceted role with a strong focus on investor relations, fundraising support, and external representation, while also contributing across deal-flow, portfolio, and fund operations.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, brings both strategic thinking and relationship instinct, and is excited to be part of a lean, ambitious team. You’ll be a key player in how we show up to the world - and how we build what's next.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills; comfortable engaging senior stakeholders
• Confident working in a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment with shifting priorities
• Prior LP-facing experience, particularly with family offices or institutional investors
• Exposure to the full fund lifecycle — fundraising, investments, and portfolio management
• Experience in lean teams or startup settings with a hands-on, adaptable mindset
• Salary between £40,000 - £65,000, dependent on experience
• Remote working policy - Work from our London office, at home, or a combination of both
• Access to Uncommon - Our vibrant coworking space in central London, offering regular members events like weekly tea times, monthly drinks, and lunchtime yoga classes!
• Quarterly team socials
• Company bonus scheme
• £1000 annual personal learning and development budgets
• Vitality health insurance
• Sabbatical policy

• Generous holiday entitlement of 25 days (plus bank & public holidays), with an additional day added for every year worked, up to a maximum of 30 days
• Life insurance coverage
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Employee referral program
• Company pension scheme
