What you'll do: As Chief Operating Officer - Venture Capital, you will be entrusted with overseeing every aspect of operations outside direct investment decisions. Your days will be varied-one moment you might be managing complex fund launches or preparing for high-profile investor meetings; the next you could be collaborating with external partners or guiding internal teams through compliance updates. Success in this role means being proactive in identifying opportunities for process improvement while nurturing strong interpersonal connections across departments. You will play an integral part in shaping strategic initiatives alongside senior leaders while ensuring that all operational elements run smoothly. Your ability to balance big picture thinking with meticulous attention to detail will help drive both immediate results and long term value creation for the organisation.
