We're looking for someone to join a lively young company in an external-facing role, working with small/medium-sized companies throughout the investment process on our platform. From preparation to going live on the SyndicateRoom website and through to closure, enacting transactions and maintaining relationships with portfolio companies.
This is a process-oriented role, so will suit if you have a great attention to detail and like to follow projects through to completion.
The initial stages of the process involve being the core point of contact for companies and liaising with lawyers, accountants, marketers and media professionals to ensure we have everything required for creating a strong online pitch to be opened up to our network of sophisticated investors.
You will have direct contact with clients from day one - though we'll be there to support you - and will require excellent time-management skills, a knack for problem-solving and organisational flexibility. Expect to have a number of projects on the go at any one time.
You'll be working with some of the best and brightest up-and- coming startups, reviewing their pitch to make sure that content about them on the SyndicateRoom platform is not only highly accurate and well-referenced, but also engaging and intriguing. No specific prior experience is required and we'll give you all the on-the- job training you'll need.
You'll be learning and writing about industries and companies as you go, so it's important that you're a quick and proactive learner, and are able to articulate complex concepts. You'll need a fantastic eye for detail and a creative edge.
There's also a creative element - helping to film videos with the companies and setting up stylish web pages based on templates.
You'll also be in regular contact with a number of investors and so must love communicating with people and be able to maintain a positive attitude when under pressure. Listing on our website is a time sensitive process with a quick turnaround so being able to maintain a positive attitude under pressure is key.
There is plenty of potential for personal and career development for talented and motivated individuals.
Responsibilities/Duties:
- Critical analysis and quick learning - you will need to pick up large amounts of information quickly and think critically about it. For example, you might need to learn about fuel cells one day and how sales distribution models work the next. You need to be able to get to the heart of what each company does and explain it well to others, and to think about what's missing from the explanation by anticipating questions an interested investor might ask
- Independent research skills - you'll often need to find out more about an industry or concept on your own to fully understand it, and to be able to source key claims
- Independent research skills - you'll often need to find out more about an industry or concept on your own to fully understand it, and to be able to source key claims Relationship and account management - you will work one-on- one with our customers and should provide fantastic service
- Document reviewing and project management - you will be responsible for ensuring the customer provides all the documentation we require and that it is to the standard we need, across multiple projects and deadlines Keen eye for detail - you'll have responsibility for making sure that all the content
- Keen eye for detail - you'll have responsibility for making sure that all the content you create is accurate, from reviewing sources of information and checking that financial information 'adds up', to checking (and re-checking) spelling and grammar
- Impressive writing skills - you'll need to find the perfect way to word something to please multiple parties (although editing assistance will be given) You will help to set-up the deal pages on our website, and work with our back office systems, so should be comfortable undertaking ownership of the whole process from start to finish and enjoy the satisfaction of completing small projects
- Administrative support - you will use (and where you can improve) our existing processes for managing company fundraises, including ensuring the appropriate checks are completed when a funding round comes to a close and that funds raised are transferred to the company in a timely manner
- Process support - you will help to refine and improve our 'onboarding' process for new companies, including providing feedback and suggestions, and even creating new processes
Requirements:
