Venture Capital Operations Specialist

About KIP

KIP (Korea Investment Partners) is the largest venture capital platform from Korea, with over $4B in assets under management. Backed by a holdings group managing over $400B in assets, KIP invests both directly and as an LP across stages — from early to late — spanning a diverse range of sectors and geographies. The fund is at an exciting inflection point, actively growing both in fund size and team, as it deepens its presence in the global venture ecosystem.

About the Role

KIPUS is seeking a driven and versatile Operations Specialist who thrives at the intersection of finance, events, and people. You will serve as a central pillar of our U.S. operations — owning fund administration and capital call processes while also planning and executing high-touch events for our LP and founder community. Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll work across a wide range of workstreams with real autonomy and ownership.

Beyond operational rigor, we’re looking for someone who genuinely lights up around people — a natural connector who brings warmth and positive energy to every interaction, whether coordinating with external partners or hosting a founder dinner. Equally at home in a spreadsheet and in a room full of investors, you take pride in both the details and the experience you create for others.
