Chief of Staff / Head of Ops to VC Founder - (SoHo) - $140k-165k+B

While professional experience and qualifications are key for this role, make sure to check you have the preferable soft skills before applying if required.

A well-established venture capital firm is seeking a versatile builder-doer to lead executive operations and drive priority initiatives across the platform. In this senior operations role, you'll work closely with the Founder/Managing Partner and partner team to streamline workflows, stand up systems, and own critical projects spanning firm operations, investor relations, and SPVs. The environment is lean, entrepreneurial, and highly collaborative with meaningful responsibility from day one. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to get into a VC and partner directly with the managing partners.

The founder has a dedicated Executive Personal Assistant, so this role will not include that level of administrative responsibility.

Candidates must have a solid sense of investment acumen to jump right in. The office culture is young, energetic, fast paced, and highly entrepreneurial; this is for someone willing to roll up their sleeves and get involved in various areas and firmwide initiatives no matter how big or small.

Responsibilities:

• Own the Founder/Managing Partner's operating cadence: priorities, follow-ups, prep materials, and cross-functional execution
• Build and refine systems and processes (CRM/LP database, investor trackers, dashboards, data rooms, automation)
• Drive investor relations workflows for funds/SPVs: LP communications, diligence responses, data-room management, and close coordination with legal/fund admin
• Prepare investor updates, fundraising collateral, and pipeline summaries with impeccable attention to detail
• Coordinate capital calls/wires, credit facility tracking, and coordination with tax/accounting advisors
• Oversee and optimize workflows to ensure consistency and quality against executive priorities
• Implement automation/AI tools to streamline repetitive tasks, reporting, and communications
• Lead special projects and firmwide initiatives from scoping through execution, holding stakeholders accountable to timelines

Qualifications:

• 3–8+ years in business operations, strategy, or project management at a startup, venture capital fund, or management consulting firm
• Proven track record building processes/systems and delivering complex projects on time with high standards
• Strong written and verbal communication with executive presence; rigorous attention to detail and discretion
• Hands-on experience with investor communications, data rooms, and CRM/reporting; SPV/fund workflows a plus
• Tech-forward and automation-savvy; comfortable implementing new tools and optimizing workflows
• Comfortable owning administrative tasks and coordinating with external advisors (legal, fund admin, tax/accounting)

Base Salary: $140k- $165k plus bonus, benefits, and 401k
