Deals Associate

Role Description

We're hiring a Deals Associate to support a portfolio of emerging venture capital firms. You'll help fund managers with deal review and best practices as they deploy capital across the full arc of the process — sourcing, filtering, diligence, execution, and portfolio follow-up. Your work centers on three things:

• Helping review and strengthen deal memos and providing feedback and diligence guidance.
• Supporting programs that share strong opportunities across the platform.
• Maintaining a scouting network that surfaces deals matched to each fund's thesis.

This is a remote position.

What You’ll Do

• Deal Review:
  • Review fund deals and prepare structured feedback on memos — reinforcing the memo as an internal tool for building investment conviction, as a checkpoint that records key decision factors, and as a deal-level fundraising asset that shows LPs a rigorous, repeatable process.
  • Assist with deal intake, pipeline tracking, and due diligence workflows across sourcing, filtering, diligence, execution, and portfolio follow-up.
  • Prepare summaries and notes, including on the intricacies of deal documents — SAFEs, convertible instruments, priced rounds, and side letters.
• Deal Sharing:
  • Support programs that share deals across Decile platform managers and bring in opportunities from outside sources, so strong deals reach the funds best positioned to back them.
  • Help route each opportunity to the right funds by thesis, stage, and geography, supporting channels for co-investment and referral.
• Deal Scouting:
  • Support programs to engage deal scouts, matching opportunities to each fund's investment thesis.
  • Help maintain the scout network and keep quality high, turning a global community into a durable sourcing advantage.

Qualifications

• 1-3 years of professional experience in VC, startups, operations, consulting, or any role where you considered complicated investment opportunities and communicated with external stakeholders.
• A genuine understanding of the startup and venture investing ecosystem — how deals originate and how founders, funds, and LPs actually operate.
• Comfort with CRM tools and data management (specific platform experience not required — you'll learn Decile Hub quickly).
• Fluency with modern AI frameworks and tools, and a habit of using them to optimize and scale your own workflow.
• Excellent written communication and attention to detail.
• You move fast, follow up relentlessly, and take pride in closing loops.

Nice to Have

• Venture Institute or VC Lab Residency alumni.
• Experience as a founder or operator who has built and raised for a company, and lived the deal process from the other side of the table.
• Prior exposure to venture capital, fundraising, or investor relations.

Benefits

• Meaningful exposure to institutional venture capital fundraising.
• Opportunity to work directly with top-caliber investors.
• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience.
• Remote-first work environment with world-class teammates.
• A working schedule including flexible PTO.
