About Cleo Capital

Cleo Capital is a thesis-driven venture capital fund. We are focused on 3 key areas: The Future of Income, Complicated Consumer, and Decentralized Enterprise. We primarily lead rounds at Pre-Seed, working with amazing founders from day zero. We are led by Sarah Kunst and Matt Pauker, two longtime friends and entrepreneurs turned VCs. We are a scrappy, fun and very hardworking venture fund and we’re excited to bring on a new team member to help us coordinate the madness.

Cleo Capital is a fund based in the Bay Area. We are remote through Dec 2021 and then in person starting Jan 2022.

Salary: $70–90K plus benefits. Salary commensurate with experience and with the potential to grow over time as this person takes on more responsibility.

About the role

This is a role that will focus on managing admin and office tasks and helping manage the non-investing side of Cleo Capital, including social media, events, comms and press. You will own 100% of calendaring and schedules and will coordinate some aspects of travel planning. You will plan meetings, own important firm processes and maintain internal records and databases. This role requires an obsessive attention to detail, responsive communication, thoughtful problem-solving and an execution mindset.

This is a career-changing opportunity for the right person. You will be joining a fast-growing fund as one of its first hires. This is a great fit for someone scrappy and detail-oriented who wants to grow with the fund and learn about the world of startups and venture investing.

This is not an investing role. The success metric is your ability to scale operations, not source deals. If you do this role well for 2+ years, we will make it our job to help you do whatever you want to do next in your career, but if you’re looking for an investing role as your next step right now, this is not the right fit for you.

Responsibilities

  • Coordinate and manage daily calendars. Scheduling and managing calendars is the most important success metric for this role. If you’re an organizational fanatic you will thrive here.
  • Perform data entry daily — update internal databases and CRM software
  • Own various internal processes from start to finish including social media, newsletter, events, programming, swag, errands, running the office etc
  • Respond promptly to managers’ queries

Who You Are:

  • At least two years of work experience
  • Strong communication skills (via phone, email, and in-person)
  • Familiar with tools such as Google Apps, Slack, Microsoft Office, Zoom, etc.
  • Obsessed with completing things; zero inbox mentality is strongly preferred
  • Ability to work autonomously with minimal supervision AND take direction well
  • Incredibly professional, discreet and trustworthy. Gossips need not apply.
  • Excellent organizational skills with an ability to think proactively and prioritize work
  • Availability to work flexible hours as needed
  • You are EXTREMELY detail oriented and you don’t drop the ball

Some experiences that could make you a good fit:

  • Experience with startups or entrepreneurship
  • Experience as an admin or operations professional
  • Experience in scrappy, fast-paced environments
