• Partnering with our institutional and HNWI coverage teams to bring fund opportunities to buyers.

• Preparing external-facing pitch decks and partnership proposals.

• A track record of generating leads from institutional investors through high-volume outbound outreach, including cold calling.

• A working understanding of how VC funds and SPVs are structured.

• Strong written and verbal communication, including experience creating institutional-quality pitch materials.

• The ability to prioritize across multiple client relationships and live transactions in a fast-paced environment.

• FINRA Series 7 and 63 registrations, or the ability to obtain them within 90 days of joining.

Preferred experience:

• Hands-on experience with the formation, diligence, or administration of VC funds and SPVs.

• A front-office origination role covering institutional clients.

• Existing relationships with GPs in the venture ecosystem.

• Experience in VC fund secondaries.

• Vancouver based employees enjoy a $20-per-day commuter benefit for every day you work in our downtown HQ.

• An engaging social calendar, including bi-weekly catered lunches, bi-weekly “Friday bar,” team workouts, annual summer party, and holiday party, two “onsite” all-team retreats each year, semi-annual team-building events, and Clarity Women’s Network events.
