  4-8+ years of experience in VC, startup investing, corporate development, business development, or strategic operations. Experience within a high-velocity VC fund or startup preferred.

• Investor Magnetism:

  You are respected in the community of early-stage investors, with a magnetic personal brand. You can single-handedly represent Speedrun to the investor ecosystem

• Ecosystem Fluency:

  A strong pre-existing network and intuitive understanding of the early-stage investor landscape, a knowledge of what investors specialize in and are looking for, and a deep passion for building community with new investors and incumbents alike

• Cross-Functional Collaboration:

  Demonstrated ability to lead and work with cross-functional partners marked by low ego, high dependability, effective collaboration and consistently good judgment

• Operator’s Mindset:

  Demonstrated ability to ruthlessly prioritize, manage multiple workstreams, and execute with precision and attention to detail.

• Program Builder:

  You’ve built or scaled programs from scratch. You understand segmentation, funnel conversion, and the difference between “activity” and “outcome”

• Data-Driven:

  You are comfortable using CRM tools, workflows, and marketing automation to scale relationships. You’re excited to partner with engineering and AI tooling to 10x output even in an older stack

• Stakeholder Obsessed:

  Confident engaging with senior external partners and representing the firm with professionalism and integrity. Exceptional communication, coaching, and documentation skills to support both high-leverage 1:1 engagements and scalable founder education

• High-context operator.

  You understand rooms, reputations, and timing. You track investor behavior like a good product manager tracks users - and act accordingly. You know who’s new, who’s overcommitted, who’s a tourist, and who’s got dry powder. You bring context, not just coverage

• Collaborative & Low-Ego:

  You thrive in fast-moving environments, are proactive and thoughtful, and know how to work well across cross-functional teams
