Chief Investor Relations & Venture Partnerships

A&C Tech, Inc; San Francisco (CA); Presencial; USD 320.000 - 520.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

AC Tech Inc seeks a Vice President of Investor Relations to lead venture and private capital engagement across funding rounds. Reporting to the CFO, this executive will own relationships with venture capital firms, family offices, and technology investors, turning access into term sheets.

This is not a communications role; the ideal candidate brings partner-level access and a track record of closing private rounds in deep tech, AI, software, and related areas.

Formación

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, economics, business, engineering, or a related field.
• MBA a plus, track record more important.
• 7+ years across venture capital, growth equity, investment banking, corporate development, or private-company fundraising.
• Existing partner-level relationships across venture funds, family offices, or technology investors that you can activate immediately.
• Fluency in private company financing: preferred structures, SAFEs and convertibles, cap table mechanics, dilution, pro rata rights, liquidation preferences, and valuation methodology.
• Command of financial statements and the ability to defend a model under scrutiny.
• Exceptional executive presence. You will sit across from people who evaluate conviction for a living.

Responsabilidades

• Build and manage a partner-level pipeline across venture capital firms investing in climate technology, mobility, AI, housing innovation, and advanced manufacturing.
• Own warm-path origination. Map target funds by thesis, stage, check size, and portfolio adjacency, then work the introductions that actually convert.
• Track the movement of individual partners between funds and maintain the relationships that follow them.
• Understand the internal mechanics of venture decision making: partner meetings, investment committee cadence, champion dynamics, and what kills a deal in the room.
• Support the CFO and CEO through pitch meetings, partner meetings, and follow-on diligence sessions.
• Develop direct relationships with single-family and multi-family offices, including those investing directly rather than through fund allocations.
• Navigate the distinct rhythm of family office capital: longer horizons, principal-driven decisions, less formal process, and a strong preference for relationship continuity.
• Identify family offices with existing exposure to real assets, housing, energy, or mobility, where AC Future’s thesis lands on familiar ground.
• Cultivate access to family office networks, syndicates, investor summits, and private capital communities.
• Build relationships with corporate venture arms, strategic investors, and technology-focused crossover funds.
• Translate AC Future’s technology stack, manufacturing roadmap, and commercialization strategy into language that a technical diligence team will respect.
• Identify strategic investors where capital arrives with distribution, supply chain leverage, or manufacturing capability attached.
• Coordinate strategic conversations carefully with executive leadership, keeping commercial partnership discussions and investment discussions on separate but parallel tracks.
• Maintain a rigorous, current view of every prospect: stage, owner, next step, expected timeline, and probability.
• Keep follow-up tight. Information requests answered in days, not weeks.
• Deliver regular pipeline reviews to the CFO and executive leadership, including honest market feedback when the answer is no and why.
• Cultivate relationships between rounds so the next raise starts warm rather than cold.
• Monitor venture funding conditions, valuation benchmarks, and sector sentiment relevant to AC Future.
• Partner with the CFO and CEO to strengthen the investment thesis and the story around it.
• Build and refine pitch decks, data rooms, investment memos, financial narratives, and investor FAQs.
• Tailor the narrative to the audience. A growth-stage venture partner, a family office principal, and a corporate development lead need three different conversations.
• Quarterback diligence across finance, legal, operations, and engineering.
