Job description

Referment is working with a global investment firm's ventures arm, which is expanding the platform team that supports its portfolio companies. This is a ground-floor opportunity on a fast-growing platform: you'll help develop and run the scalable processes that connect portfolio companies with customers, events, expert networks, and brand initiatives - with meaningful room to shape the role's scope.

The Role

• Draft and coordinate tailored outreach for customer introductions, manage target lists, and oversee follow-ups across portfolio companies.


• Organize and execute logistics for events, speakers, and brand initiatives - including contracts, briefing materials, and post-event follow-up - which may involve occasional travel.


• Identify and research potential experts, manage outreach and records, and develop repeatable processes for expert network engagements.


• Maintain visibility across ongoing platform initiatives, triage incoming requests, and drive open items to completion with internal teams.


• Work closely with leadership to take on increasing responsibility for established workflows and recurring operational activities.

What We're Looking For

• A bachelor's degree and two to four years of relevant experience in platform, consulting, operations, or a similar execution-focused field.


• Demonstrated project management and execution skills - tracking many concurrent initiatives at a macro level while keeping the details right.


• Sound judgment, initiative, and comfort operating in ambiguity, including building process from the ground up.


• A relationship-driven, commercially minded approach, excellent written communication, and the ability to coordinate with portfolio companies and multiple stakeholders.

This could suit a startup operator, consultant, or portfolio-support professional who enjoys building processes from scratch and working directly with founders and leadership.
