Your Role
We are seeking a dynamic and motivated individual to join our team as a Venture Portfolio Operations Associate. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of innovative startups, contribute to the growth of our portfolio, and gain exposure to a diverse network of Asian Pacific founders, investors, industry executives, and creators.
Responsibilities
- Portfolio Support: Assist portfolio companies with strategic and operational needs (i.e., business development, partnerships, talent), and creatively and adaptively use technology tools to optimize these processes.
- Fund Operations: Manage and improve our internal platform tooling that powers our investment tracking, relationship management, and founder onboarding/resources.
- Marketing and Communications: Support partner projects and brand/marketing initiatives which could include things like content (e.g., newsletter, podcast, blog), events, and more
- Data Analysis: Perform data wrangling, cleaning, and analysis to extract actionable insights for internal processes and portfolio companies.
- Relationship Building: Cultivate and nurture relationships with founders, co-investors, industry experts, and other external stakeholders to enhance Gold House Ventures’ network and visibility within the startup ecosystem.
Requirements
- You must be based in Los Angeles, CA; San Francisco Bay Area; or the New York City/Tri-State Area – with occasional work travel to firm events.
- You have 2-4+ years of relevant work experience ideally in management consulting, investment banking, venture capital, private equity, or a high-performing technology startup. Prior experience at a venture capital fund – or similarly high-paced, portfolio-driven working environment – is nice to have, but not required.
- You are an excellent writer and value clear, elegant communication.
- You have obscenely high attention to detail and hold yourself accountable to ensuring projects are delivered completely and on time — you set expectations, never abandon them, and are comfortable holding others to this too.
- You are proactive, have a bias towards action, and can operate under pressure in a composed way when managing multiple projects at once in a rapid-evolving environment.
- You have a “no job is too small” attitude and are excited to roll up your sleeves and solve all types of problems.
- You strive to rapidly accelerate in your career. You have a near-insatiable appetite to expand your knowledge and capabilities and aren’t afraid to try new things.
- You communicate like a pro and get energy from bringing people together to execute efficiently and effectively. You enjoy putting structure around processes to make them scalable.
- Last but not least, you are passionate about Gold House’s purpose and share our mission of uplifting the Asian Pacific community.
Benefits
- Salary Range: $90,000-110,000/year plus bonus
- Health, dental, vision, and life insurance benefits
- Opportunity to participate in Gold House programs and experiences including Gold Open VIP film Premieres, Gold House Ventures Founder and Investor events, Gold Gala, Family Dinners, and more
- Opportunity to define the trajectory of a mission-driven, fast-growing, mainstream-impactful organization
