About you

We are looking for someone who is motivated by STV’s purpose and excited by the opportunity to contribute to a high-quality, revenue-first venture fund backing technology companies addressing critical social and environmental challenges.

This opportunity is suited to someone who is excited by the prospect of joining a new fund as a key team member, working in an Associate role across a broad range of responsibilities. You will need to be highly capable, delivery-focused and comfortable working across financial modelling, reporting, process management and investment materials. You should be able to manage competing priorities, work carefully at pace and produce clear, accurate outputs that can be used with confidence.

This is a hands-on Associate role in a lean, focused fund with a clear investment strategy and strong sense of direction. It will suit someone who is flexible, solutions-focused and motivated by delivering work that directly supports investment, reporting and fund management priorities. It requires someone who works collaboratively, listens well, communicates clearly, asks good questions and remains open to learning. It will not suit someone looking for a senior strategy role, a mainly external-facing profile, or a loosely defined venture role without clear accountability for delivery.

Essential experience and skills

This role would suit someone with at least 3 years’ relevant experience in investment analysis, venture capital, corporate finance, impact investment, fund operations or another analytical and delivery-focused role.

• Excellent financial modelling and Excel skills, with the ability to accurately analyse early-stage company financials, business models and key assumptions.
• Proven experience conducting or supporting commercial, financial or investment due diligence.
• Ability to produce clear, accurate and well-structured written materials to a high standard, such as investment papers, diligence notes, reports and briefings.
• Highly capable at managing processes, records and reporting workflows so that information is accurate, up to date and easy to use.
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment, keeping work structured, actions visible and deadlines on track.
• Strong analytical and numerical skills, with the ability to assess companies, markets, risks, financial information and supporting evidence in a structured way.
• Excellent attention to detail, including the ability to spot inconsistencies, question assumptions, identify gaps and maintain accurate information across systems and documents.
• Careful and proactive handling of confidential information, with the ability to work in line with compliance, data protection and record-keeping requirements.
• Interest in the role technology can play in addressing critical social and environmental challenges.

Desirable experience and skills

• Experience working with early-stage technology companies, venture capital, seed investing or impact investment.
• Understanding of flexible or revenue-linked investment structures.
• Experience with portfolio monitoring, LP reporting, investor due diligence or fund reporting processes.
• Familiarity with CRM systems, data rooms, Fundrbird or other fund administration/investor reporting tools.
