About Investible

Investible is a leading Asia-Pacific venture capital firm backing ambitious founders solving meaningful global challenges through technology.

Founded in 2014, with offices in Sydney and Singapore, Investible manages a suite of early-stage venture capital funds and operates Club Investible, one of the region's most active startup investment communities. Across our funds and syndicate platform, we have invested in more than 150 technology companies spanning AI, climate tech, enterprise software, health, deep tech, fintech and emerging technologies.

Each year, we review thousands of investment opportunities and work closely with founders to help them scale through capital, strategic support and access to our global network of investors, operators and industry experts.

The role is part-time, at 2 days per week, with flexibility to scale up or down based on workload. It suits an experienced lawyer seeking a flexible, high-impact role.

You can be based in Sydney, Melbourne or Singapore, and you will work with colleagues across our Australian and Singapore offices.

About You

You will be comfortable working independently, prioritising across many stakeholders and giving advice that helps the business move quickly while managing risk. Experience across funds, investment transactions and corporate governance will help you hit the ground running.

You Will Likely Demonstrate

• Admission as a lawyer in an Australian jurisdiction, with a current or eligible practising certificate
