Job Description
Decile Group (https://decilegroup.com) is transforming venture capital into a force for good in the world. We are working to launch 10,000 next-generation venture capital firms by 2030, fundamentally changing the face of venture capital.
We operate an integrated platform for modern venture capital, spanning education, software, and fund operations. VC Lab trains the next generation of fund managers. Decile Hub provides AI-enabled tools for fund operations. Start Fund enables managers to launch institutional-grade funds in under 24 hours. Decile Capital deploys capital into emerging managers.Together, these offerings make venture capital more accessible to anyone with world-class ideas and execution.
Role Overview:
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, and 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
What You Have:
- 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
What We Offer
- 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
