Enjoy flexible working arrangements and direct collaboration with senior partners, fostering an inclusive environment where your expertise in operations, legal matters, and team management will truly shine. 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.

Support talent management processes including hiring, onboarding, and ongoing development to foster a collaborative and high performing team culture. Drive compliance activities by maintaining up to date policies and procedures in line with regulatory requirements and best practices. Lead or participate in executive committee meetings to shape organisational strategy and ensure alignment across all operational areas. Contribute to branding initiatives and growth strategies that enhance the platform's reputation among investors and portfolio companies alike. If you have a legal background, provide additional support during portfolio company funding rounds to streamline transactions and mitigate risk. Prepare for major events such as annual investor meetings and interim closings by coordinating logistics, communications, and stakeholder engagement. What you bring The ideal candidate for Chief Operating Officer - Venture Capital brings a wealth of experience from leading consulting or legal backgrounds combined with hands on knowledge of venture capital or private equity operations. Your history of thriving in smaller teams means you are comfortable wearing many hats-whether it's refining internal processes or stepping into urgent projects at short notice. Your interpersonal skills set you apart: colleagues find you approachable yet dependable; stakeholders trust your judgement implicitly. You understand how to navigate regulated environments without losing sight of commercial objectives. Your approach is always considerate-balancing empathy with accountability-and your project management acumen ensures nothing falls through the cracks. If your background includes legal expertise, your input during funding rounds will add further value. Above all else, your commitment to collaboration helps create an environment where everyone feels supported in achieving their best work. Experience gained from top tier strategy consulting or legal firms provides you with robust analytical skills and professional rigour essential for this role. A proven track record in venture capital or private equity fund operations-ideally within FCA regulated environments-demonstrates your understanding of industry specific challenges. At least 7 10 years' experience working within small teams or start up settings equips you with adaptability and resourcefulness needed for success here. Exceptional communication skills enable you to build trust quickly with colleagues at all levels as well as external stakeholders such as investors or service providers. High emotional intelligence allows you to act as an effective integrator who brings people together around shared goals while navigating sensitive situations diplomatically. Financial literacy ensures you can interpret budgets, management accounts, valuations, and other key metrics even if not directly responsible for financial reporting. Outstanding project management abilities mean you can juggle multiple priorities-from fund launches to compliance reviews-without losing sight of deadlines or quality standards. Operational expertise enables you to design efficient processes that support business growth while minimising risk exposure across all functions. A collaborative mindset fosters teamwork both internally and externally when dealing with partners or vendors. If applicable: Legal qualifications or experience allow you to contribute more deeply during portfolio company funding rounds or contract negotiations.

About Norm Ai Norm Ai, the leading Legal & Compliance AI company, has a client base with a combined $30 trillion in assets under management. By turning legal code into AI code, Norm enables enterprises to move faster and more comprehensively in their legal and compliance processes with auditability, reliability, and trust. Norm's platform combines frontier AI, proprietary legal reasoning systems, and embedded legal and regulatory expertise. Norm Ai has raised more than $140 million, backed by Blackstone, Bain Capital, Vanguard, Citi, New York Life, TIAA, Coatue, Craft Ventures, Henry R. Kravis, and Marc Benioff.

Norm hired dozens of lawyers from premier U.S. law firms and trained them as Legal Engineers, who specialize in breaking down legal workflows into units of analysis targeted enough to reliably leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) for reasoning. The granular LLM outputs that constitute a given workflow are orchestrated in a logically structured and human interpretable manner and rigorously validated against data and expertise. The resulting dynamic systems can complete the first pass of the legal workflow and provide detailed explanations. We also developed the first Domain Specific Language (DSL) for fully representing regulatory requirements in AI code.
