About the Role
The company is searching for a proactive and results-oriented Director of Corporate Venture Capital to join our dynamic team. This is a fantastic opportunity to significantly impact our Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) fund by expanding our network within the vibrant startup ecosystem, particularly in the Bay Area. As a key player in driving deal flow, you will evaluate early-stage investment opportunities and build lasting relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders, including established companies, investors, and industry leaders.
You will be at the forefront of deal sourcing, investment analysis, and providing strategic insights to align local investments with our global strategy. We are looking for candidates with 5-8 years of experience in venture capital, corporate venture capital, or startup investments, including a strong background in early-stage investing and a robust network in the startup and VC ecosystem on the U.S. West Coast. Your ability to identify high-growth potential startups, conduct comprehensive market research, and perform due diligence is crucial.
Effective communication and relationship-building skills are essential, as is the ability to represent our company proactively in the local market. You will frequently attend industry events to enhance our presence and reputation. This position requires a strong commitment and the readiness to travel occasionally.
