You'll succeed in this role by managing multiple projects simultaneously; collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams, clients, and service providers; and ensuring clear written and verbal communication throughout project lifecycles.

Key responsibilities will include:
• Effectively and professionally interact with senior level private equity / venture capital investors and portfolio company executives to understand business challenges and explore the best ways to tackle them in a results-oriented environment
• Spend a large portion of the day interacting with clients and solution providers, supporting multiple projects at any given point in time
• Perform original research to map networks and identify third-party resources to help our clients assess opportunities to build and grow their companies
• Communicate effectively and efficiently over the phone and through email without missing important details and under tight deadlines

• Strong experience performing internet research, utilizing databases such as Pitchbook and CRM systems, and using community networks in dynamic start-up environments is desirable
