Aegis is looking for a resourceful and intellectually curious Venture Associate to work alongside our studio team and corporate partners. The role will encompass all elements of early-stage venture creation and validation, including ideation, user and market research, and product discovery across a wide range of health tech portfolio incubation efforts. In particular, Venture Associates will focus on venture creation opportunities in either healthcare artificial intelligence (AI) or virtual care delivery.
In this dynamic, fast-paced role, Venture Associates will be expected to remain at the forefront of cutting-edge healthcare trends and play an integral part in laying the groundwork for company launches. The role is an ideal growth opportunity for those who are galvanized by the prospect of taking novel, industry-shaping initiatives from 0-to-1, and who aspire to develop a highly differentiated skillset around ideating and validating new ventures.
This is an exciting time to join Aegis Ventures, as we have laid the foundation of studio processes and have started to accelerate the venture creation process. Venture Associates will play a leading role in building multiple new businesses, with opportunities to support external investments in early stage companies, which will drive change across the healthcare sector.
We envision Venture Associates to operate with a high degree of autonomy and ownership in taking ideas from research to prototyping to NewCo formation. We will also provide Venture Associates with the support to succeed in building new businesses. We have assembled a team of clinical, regulatory, technical and commercial experts, in addition to other external partners who will work hand-in-hand with Venture Associates. We will also provide close mentorship from a venture creation team invested in personal development, to help Venture Associates achieve their full potential.
A successful candidate will be able to work independently in ambiguous, unstructured work environments. We are looking for a high-energy, strategic thinker with an entrepreneurial disposition and a willingness to leave no stone unturned in shepherding our business to the next level. The role will be based in New York.
