WHO WE ARE

Our investments span the entire end-to-end consumer experience: commerce enablement, nextgen commerce channels, consumer healthtech, sustainable commerce, supply chain & logistics and consumer brands.

We are in a pivotal phase of growth, actively raising institutional capital and building the systems, team and relationships to scale our LP base. This is an opportunity to join a small, high-performing team at a meaningful inflection point.

You are the operating system of the fund and the trusted adviser and right hand to the Managing Partner. Your job is to make sure everything moves, and to expand the Managing Partner's bandwidth by anticipating needs before they are raised. When a priority is set, whether by the Managing Partner or through the strategy workstream, you own that it actually gets built, on time, with a clear owner on every piece.

You are the eyes and ears of the Managing Partner across the team. You always know what is moving, who owns it, what is blocked, what slipped, and what needs a decision from leadership this week. You act as a gatekeeper on the Managing Partner's time and involvement, bringing them into a project or decision at the right moment and keeping lower-value items off their plate.

You quarterback and orchestrate across the team: when the Managing Partner decides to host an LP dinner in a new city, you turn that intent into an executable plan. You set the deadlines, stand up the tracker, and hold every owner to their piece so the room is full and the Managing Partner walks in prepared.

This is the senior seat that inherits and owns the fund's operating system over time: the fundraising process, the CRM architecture, the reporting cadence, and the playbooks the strategy workstream designed. You take them from design into steady-state ownership.

You are a senior operator with high integrity and a high bar for quality, and you anticipate questions before they are asked. You have an ownership reflex: if it is unclear who has something, you take it. You thrive in a fast-paced environment that changes daily, you are calm with multiple open loops, and you are relentless about closure while never letting accuracy slip.

You read a room and know which decisions are yours and which belong to the Managing Partner.

• Ownership reflex: unowned work is your work until it has an owner
• Bias to closure: you push things to done, not to almost-done
• Orchestrator, not soloist: you get the right owner on each piece and keep them in sync
• Anticipate and protect the Managing Partner's time and attention
• Calm under many open loops

• Turn strategy and Managing Partner priorities into projects with named owners, deadlines, and trackers
• Run the weekly operating rhythm: what is moving, who owns what, what is blocked, what slipped
• Coordinate cross-functional delivery across Public Relations, Communications, Events, and Fundraising, and hold the timeline on events
• Take the systems the strategy workstream designs and get them adopted and kept in use

• Act as a gatekeeper on the Managing Partner's time, monitoring information flow and surfacing the right items at the right moment
• Develop internal and external presentations alongside Communications, including newsletters, reports, pitch decks, and speeches
• Prepare internal briefing documents and research for partner meetings, conferences, and strategic priorities
• Surface the decisions that need the…
