Job Description Summary

For over forty years, HarbourVest has been home to a committed team of professionals with an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to deliver impactful solutions to our clients and investing partners. As our global firm grows, we continue to add individuals who seek a collaborative, open-door culture that values diversity and innovative thinking.

In our collegial environment that’s marked by low turnover and high energy, you’ll be inspired to grow and thrive. Here, you will be encouraged to build on your strengths and acquire new skills and experiences.

We are committed to fostering an environment of inclusion that promotes mutual respect among all employees. Understanding and valuing these differences optimizes the potential of both the individual and the firm.

This position requires a minimum of four days per week in the Boston office, excluding time spent traveling for business. Occasional travel is expected.

  • Skilled in both written and verbal communication, including presenting to senior leaders, General Partners and clients
  • Highly collaborative with an ability to work seamlessly across teams

What you will do:

  • Own and drive the investment process (e.g. manager due diligence, underwriting, oversight and preparation of investment memos/presentation, referencing, active IC discussion, legal negotiation and closing processes)
  • Source new investment opportunities, develop and deepen relationships with new and existing General Partners, and identify opportunities for cross-platform partnership
  • Monitor partnership investments, including through active participation in LPAC meetings, Annual Meetings and regular update meetings with General Partners
  • Mentor and support junior team members
  • Assist team with client service, including material preparation and meeting participation

What you bring:

  • Strong investment analysis and due diligence skills
  • Capacity to work autonomously and collaboratively with others

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
