À propos du rôle

Le programme FIR est le pari le plus atypique de Mila Ventures : nous réunissons des entrepreneurs expérimentés et certains des meilleurs chercheurs en IA de la planète avec la certitude que des projets extraordinaires en émergeront. Les résultats parlent d’eux-mêmes, 4 M$ levés jusqu’à présent, de vraies entreprises créées, de vrais emplois générés. Nous cherchons maintenant une personne pour orchestrer ces rencontres.

Vous gérerez le programme FIR de bout en bout : recruter les profils d’affaires, établir une relation de confiance avec les chercheurs et concrétiser les partenariats. Vous serez aussi souvent dans des réunions avec des PDG d'entreprises financées par du capital-risque que sur le campus à échanger avec un postdoctorant au sujet de sa thèse. Il s'agit à la fois d'un rôle de développement d’affaires, de recrutement et de gestion des relations…souvent les trois avant midi!

Ce que vous ferez

  • Recruter et évaluer des entrepreneurs expérimentés pour le bassin FIR — le genre de personne qu'un fondateur voudrait vraiment avoir comme cofondateur.
  • Tisser de vraies relations au sein de la communauté de recherche de Mila, afin que les professeurs et chercheurs voient FIR comme un parcours sérieux et non comme un projet secondaire.
  • Gérer le processus du comité de sélection FIR de bout en bout, de la première prise de contact à la signature du partenariat.
  • Assurer une présence crédible et dynamique auprès des directions d'entreprises financées par du capital-risque, une compétence clé pour tous les membres de l’équipe.
  • Piloter les indicateurs de performance : signatures FIR, associations réalisées, taux de conversion et corriger ce qui ne fonctionne pas.
  • Collaborer avec le gestionnaire du programme pour repenser le sourcing et la qualification des talents, et lancer de nouveaux volets

Requirements

  • Niveau gestionnaire junior — quelques années d'expérience, prêt.e à piloter un programme plutôt qu'à simplement le soutenir.
  • Un.e ancien.ne consultant.e d'un cabinet de premier plan ayant une expérience du milieu tech ou des startups serait un très bon profil. Vous savez échanger avec un PDG et être pris.e au sérieux dès le premier jour.
  • Débordant.e d'énergie, motivé.e, sociable et axé.e sur la mission. Si vous avez besoin qu'on vous dise d'arriver enthousiaste, ce rôle n'est pas pour vous.

Benefits

De bonnes raisons pour travailler à Mila

  • L’occasion de contribuer à une mission unique avec un impact important;
  • Un programme d’assurance collective complet (maladie, dentaire, invalidité, vie, assurance voyage et garanties complémentaires);
  • Un programme d’aide aux employés et à la famille;
  • Un accès à un service de télémédecine;
  • Une politique de congés annuels offrant une base de 20 jours de vacances dès l’embauche;
  • Un régime d’épargne retraite avec contribution de l’employeur minimale de 4%;
  • Une généreuse enveloppe flexible vous permettant de personnaliser vos avantages sociaux en fonction de ce qui contribue à votre bien-être. Vous pouvez sélectionner et combiner les options qui correspondent à vos besoins parmi les crédits style de vie, une assurance bonifiée, des journées de vacances supplémentaires et une contribution enrichie au régime de retraite;
  • Un horaire flexible, un horaire d’été et une possibilité de télétravail;
  • Un milieu de travail au cœur de la Petite Italie, dans le quartier branché Mile-Ex, à proximité des transports en commun;
  • Une équipe d’experts de leur domaine, des gens passionnés et passionnants;
  • Une ambiance de travail collaborative et inclusive.

Nous voulons vous connaître

À Mila, la diversité nous tient à cœur. Nous valorisons un environnement de travail équitable, ouvert et respectueux des différences. Nous encourageons toute personne souhaitant œuvrer dans un écosystème en progression continue et stimulée à contribuer à l’application et la définition d’une culture saine et inclusive, à postuler.

About the role

FIR is Mila Ventures' most unusual bet: we take experienced entrepreneurs and put them in a room with some of the best AI researchers on the planet, and we bet that something extraordinary gets built. It usually does — $4M raised so far, real companies formed, real jobs created. Now we need someone to run the room.

You'll own FIR's marketplace end to end: finding the operators, building trust with the researchers, and making the match happen. You'll be in rooms with CEOs of VC-backed companies as often as you're on campus talking to a postdoc about their thesis. This is a business development role, a recruiting role, and a relationship-management role — most days, all three before lunch.

What you'll do

  • Recruit and vet experienced entrepreneurs and operators for the FIR bench — the kind of person a founder would actually want as a co-founder.
  • Build real relationships inside the Mila research community, so professors and researchers see FIR as a serious path, not a side project.
  • Run the FIR selection committee process end to end, from first conversation to signed match.
  • Be a credible, energetic presence with CEOs of VC-backed companies — the one thing everyone on this team needs to be great at.
  • Own the numbers: FIR signings, matches made, conversion rate — and fix what isn't working.
  • Partner with Franco to redesign how we source and qualify talent, and to stand up new tracks (Applied AI, Bay Area returnees).

What we're looking for

  • Junior-manager level — a few years in, ready to own a program rather than support one.
  • A former consultant from a top firm with some exposure to tech or startups is a great fit here — you know how to walk into a room with a CEO and be taken seriously on day one. Not a requirement, but if that's you, we want to talk.
  • Genuinely credible with CEOs of VC-backed companies. This is non-negotiable — you'll be doing it constantly.
  • High energy, driven, sociable, and mission-driven. If you need to be told to show up excited, this isn't your role.

Good reasons to work at Mila

  • The opportunity to contribute to a unique mission with a major impact;
  • A comprehensive group insurance program (health, dental, disability, life, travel and extended benefits);
  • An employee and family assistance program;
  • Access to a telemedicine service;
  • A vacation policy offering a base of 20 days' vacation upon hiring;
  • A retirement savings plan with a minimum employer contribution of 4%;
  • A generous flexible package allowing you to tailor your benefits to what contributes to your well-being. You can select and combine options to suit your needs, including lifestyle credits, enhanced insurance, extra vacation days and enriched pension contributions;
  • Flexible working hours, a summer schedule and the possibility of telecommuting;
  • A work environment in the heart of Little Italy, in the trendy Mile-Ex district, close to public transportation;
  • A team of passionate experts in their field;
  • A collaborative and inclusive work environment.

We want to know you

At Mila, diversity is important to us. We value a work environment that is fair, open and respectful of differences. We encourage anyone who wants to work in an ecosystem that is constantly evolving and stimulated to contribute to the application and definition of a healthy and inclusive culture, to apply.

Please note that only selected candidates will be contacted.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
