The posting

SiGMA Group, a prominent expo/events organizer in the igaming, emerging tech, marketing, and healhtech industries, and Ikigai Ventures, SiGMA's backed seed-stage venture capital firm investing in igaming and frontier technologies (blockchain, AI, etc.), are hiring an Investment Associate/Principal for our investment team.

As Investment Associate/Principal, you will be responsible for wearing two different but complementary hats:

1. Working with Ikigai entails working with the current portfolio and identifying, leading, and executing new investments. This role requires attention to detail, prompt and clear communication skills, analytical problem-solving ability, and an orientation toward execution.

2. Working with SiGMA entails working with our active Corporate Development area, where you will assist in executing new M&A and partnership mandates and help with integration tasks. This role requires high-level strategic thinking, analytical skills, project management, and negotiation skills.

We are seeking an Investment Associate/Principal for our investment team who is a dynamic self-starter with experience in venture capital or corporate development to help our top-tier, challenge mandates. This full-time role reports to the partners and is based in Cyprus, covering a global investment mandate. Residency permit will be provided.

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.
