About Edenred Ventures
Edenred Ventures is an independent venture capital fund backed by Edenred as a single LP, investing in European B2B technology companies primarily at Seed and Series A across Future of Work, Fintech, Retail/Commerce Tech and Professional Mobility (including adjacent Energy Transition segments). We also selectively invest in early-stage funds and specialist funds operating across those segments.
Backed by Edenred – a global platform listed on Euronext Paris (EDEN) and connecting +60m workers, +2m merchant partners and +1m corporate clients across 44 countries – we combine the independence of a venture fund with the strategic distribution, commercial reach and sector insight of a major corporate. For our founders, in addition to capital, that means access to a wide range of product and geographic perspectives, including operational expertise. We are a small, high-trust team that makes its own investment decisions and holds itself to a high bar.
The role
We're hiring an Investment Manager or Principal (title and seniority dependent on experience) to join our London team and take ownership of investments end to end, from sourcing and building conviction through diligence, execution and portfolio support.
This is a hands-on role with real autonomy and clear scope to take on greater responsibility and leadership over time. We’re particularly interested in people who have seen great investing up close and are now looking for more ownership and a platform they can help shape.
Unlike a traditional venture capital fund, part of our role is delivering value to our corporate LP beyond financial returns – which requires an interest in and the ability to develop a deep understanding of Edenred's value proposition and operating model.
