Investment Manager – Tech VC

We’re working exclusively with a well-established, evergreen VC fund investing in early-stage and growth-stage, post-revenue UK tech businesses across fintech, business services and health tech. They’ve built a strong track record over a number of years and continue to deploy capital consistently across software-led businesses.

This is a hands-on Investment Manager role in a small team. You’ll be involved from origination through to execution and then working with founders post-investment. There’s also a clear path into board-level exposure fairly early on.

What you’ll be doing:

• Getting involved in live deals end-to-end – modelling, diligence, structuring, getting things over the line
• Building your own pipeline of opportunities and developing relationships across the ecosystem
• Leading parts of the due diligence process and writing investment papers
• Working with portfolio companies – sometimes strategic, sometimes just helping them navigate the chaos that comes with scaling
• Attending events, meeting founders, and being a visible part of the network
• Pitching in across the fund where needed (it’s a small team – no one is too senior for the odd random task)
• Contributing to how the fund thinks about AI in investing, which is becoming a bigger part of their process

What they’re looking for:

• 3-6 years’ experience in VC, corporate finance, growth equity or PE.
• Likely coming from a Big Four background (ACA or similar), though not essential
• Solid deal exposure – you’ve actually been involved in transactions, not just observed them
• Strong analytical skills but also able to communicate clearly (especially in writing)
• Comfortable dealing with founders – asking the right questions without killing the relationship
• An interest in tech – and ideally curiosity around AI

About you:

• You’re proactive and don’t need constant direction
• You’re comfortable in a smaller, less structured environment
• You enjoy the mix of analytical work and people-facing work
• You’re naturally curious – the type who’ll go down a rabbit hole on a new trend or tool
• You can handle a bit of pressure when deals are live

The details:

• London-based (4 days in the office, Fridays from home)
• Clear progression into board observer/director roles
