ABOUT INNOVATION ENDEAVORS

Innovation Endeavors is a leading early-stage venture capital firm investing in founders who are driving generational change in order to solve problems that matter. We explore how advances in data computation and engineering are reshaping industries worldwide. Over 16 years we have backed breakout companies including Uber Planet Labs Viz.ai AlphaSense and Kong.

THE ROLE

We are hiring a Portfolio Intelligence Analyst to own and evolve our internal data infrastructure including the systems tools and workflows that power portfolio monitoring fund management and investor reporting. You will work directly with our CFO and investment team to turn messy multi-source data into clean reliable intelligence that drives better decisions across the firm.

This is a high-impact seat at the intersection of data finance and technology with visibility into every company in our portfolio and direct exposure to how a top-tier VC firm operates. You’ll have the autonomy to build AI-first solutions rather than just maintaining spreadsheets and you’ll be the firm’s go-to expert on portfolio data. While this role provides visibility and access across the firm it is not an investing role or a pathway to an investing role.
