Venture Partner

• Technology Investment
• Independent Venture Capital
• Newly Raised Fund

Our client is a venture capital firm headquartered in Sydney, Australia providing human and investment capital into high growth companies with a particular focus on transformative technologies. The firm is particularly focused on opportunities originating in Australia which are poised to expand into the established and emerging global markets. The team is currently investing its second fund and its goal is to be the leading Australian venture capital company.

The Venture Partner’s focus will be to support the development of the company’s Technology practice. Your primary role will be to source, undertake, and manage investments through board representation with support from the junior team. You will also support the company in planning and delivering on exit processes for portfolio companies, leveraging your local and international network. Together with the partnership team, you will network within the local innovation and investment community to enhance the firm’s profile in technology/small growth investments as well as help provide a bridge into new institutional clients where you hold relationships.

The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate a track record of at least 15 years of operational and investment success. All of the firm’s Partners have founded, built and exited high-growth businesses and we seek those who have also built a venture backed technology company, preferably as CEO or COO. You will have a proven track record in investing, managing, building and successfully exiting high growth technology companies or small growth private equity. This may have been through personal investment or with an angel group or investment fund where you have been involved in the selection of the assets.

You will also have served on boards as a Director supporting value creation within the company and have managed at least one successful exit. Finally, the successful candidate will be a strong team player with a proactive bias to action and aligned with the core values of the firm: trust, constructive non-judgmental conflict, commitment, accountability and results/achievement oriented.

This is an unusual opportunity to gain access to a brand name firm with credibility and traction in the local market at a senior level.
