NYC Investment Associate

As part of Northzone’s continuous growth, we are excited to expand our investment team in New York with a new Associate. We are looking for outstanding individuals that have the intellect and the drive to find, win over, and support the world’s best entrepreneurs - and who, like us, feel lucky to have such a rewarding job.

2023 is an exciting time to join the team - last year we raised over €1bn to invest in the next generation of changemakers from Seed to Growth, becoming a full-stack investor with transatlantic hubs out of New York, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Stockholm.

We’ve been in New York since 2013, having invested across industries in companies like Spring Health, FuboTV, Thirty Madison, Hidden Door, Magic, Troop, 3Labs and Livepeer.

About the role

As an Associate, you will:

• Spend a large part of your time sourcing new deals and forming relationships with entrepreneurs in our target sectors and markets
• Be on the deal team for new investments, supporting market, financial, and commercial due diligence processes
• Work individually and in team settings to develop new investment thesis in exciting new market segments which will lead to sector expertise over time
• Provide support for our portfolio companies. You’ll get increased exposure to our portfolio as you spend time with us, but we’ll introduce relevant companies early on to involve you in the strategic work surrounding the portfolio
• Represent Northzone in the startup ecosystem and assist in various internal activities across the firm, including fund strategy, LP reporting, and events
• Work directly with the New York investment team as well as colleagues across all of our offices. We think it’s important for the entire team to meet regularly and travel across offices multiple times per year
• Be encouraged to take initiatives and over time, we will offer you the opportunity to leverage your increasing investor toolkit to assume early leadership in various aspects of life as an investor within Northzone
