This job is NOT:
Deal sourcing. We’ve been fortunate enough to have more dealflow than we can manage. We want you to support our partnership in assessing the inbound and helping the Seven Seven Six portfolio find competitive advantages.
Politics, ass-kissing, or ‘learning the job’ because you want to impress someone with your VC gig. High impact team members don’t have time to play games and prefer to let their results and behaviors speak for themselves.
Siloed. The Analyst role will work across the entire firm, portfolio, and with external partners, integrating processes and frameworks that set all players up for success.

- We value a healthy work-life integration and want to proactively acknowledge that there will be last minute demands that will require your flexibility. We are, after all, still a very young company with some seriously big goals.
