Requirements

• Graduate or postgraduate in business, commerce, economics or a related field
• 2 to 3 years of experience, with demonstrated interest in the startup or VC ecosystem (fund work, founder office stints, ecosystem communities or startup operating roles all count)
• Strong writing skills: you can turn a technical input into something a founder or fund partner will actually read

• Highly organized. You close loops. You follow up. You do not drop things
• Exposure to startup, legal, financial services, or professional services environments is a plus
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, lean team where you will build process, not just follow it
