Manager, Office of the President

Korea Investment Partners is a leading venture capital platform with more than $5 billion under management, backed by one of Asia's largest financial groups. Over several decades we have helped build many of the region's best-known technology companies, and we invest today across AI, semiconductors, datacenter infrastructure, robotics, and deep technology.

KIP US is our U.S. investment arm, and it is where the platform is growing fastest. Our parent group has committed to expanding the U.S. business substantially over the next several years, and that ambition is backed by real capital rather than intention. What that means day to day is momentum. We are investing actively, raising, building new fund structures, and standing up the operating infrastructure to support all of it  is a genuinely energetic environment, and the person in this role will be at the center of it.

We are looking for someone to run the Office of the President — the President's time and priorities, and the systems and rhythms that keep a fast-growing investment business running smoothly. You will be the person who makes sure the operating side of the firm works, so that everyone else can focus on investing.

It is also a role with unique visibility. You will see the whole business, work alongside the President daily, and have a real hand in how the U.S. platform develops from here.

We would rather describe the work plainly than have it come as a surprise. People who do well in a seat like this tend to recognize themselves in the following.

• You like building rather than maintaining. Much of the operating foundation here is still being put in place, and you would be the one putting it there.
• You enjoy range. One week might be preparing for an investor meeting and hosting visiting colleagues; another might be negotiating a vendor contract or getting the office ready for an important day. The same person does both, and both matter.
• You are drawn to operations as a craft. We treat this as a serious career track and will invest in it as one, with room to grow the function as the platform grows. It is not a route onto the investment team, and we would rather be clear about that up front.
• You are comfortable that people matters are one part of the job rather than the whole of it.
• You are happy working hands-on. At this stage the same person often designs a process and then runs it, and for the right person that is the appeal rather than the drawback.

• Professional written and spoken English
• Professional written Korean at formal business register, comfortable drafting corporate documents
• Strong…
