- Prepare written investment recommendations and present them to senior leaders and the risk committee.
- Adapt to shifting priorities and help refine internal risk practices and analytical tooling.

- Ability to perform credit and equity analysis on early-stage and established private companies.
- Hands-on experience evaluating large, late-stage technology transactions as they happen.
- Familiarity with capital-intensive frontier technology sectors.
- Working knowledge of structuring venture investments, reviewing ownership tables and understanding fund manager economics.
