Why this role matters

We are expanding our investment team to capture the rapid surge of breakthrough technologies in the AI, data, and software sectors. At vent.io, we bridge agile startup structures with the backing of Deutsche Leasing, allowing us to make weekly investment decisions through a direct board-level committee. Your analytical precision will directly dictate which high-growth startups we back and how we scale our strategic portfolio.

What you'll do

You will own the end-to-end analytical foundation of our investment pipeline and portfolio management.

Who this is a fit for

• Held a degree in business, finance, entrepreneurship, or tech-analytics from a top-tier university.
• Acquired at least 1 year of professional experience (or intensive working student roles) in VC, CVC, investment banking, or consulting.
• Demonstrate deep understanding of SaaS and AI business models and digital unit economics.
• Navigate financial modeling in Excel, presentation design in PowerPoint, and modern AI productivity tools with ease.
• Commits to professional fluency in both German and English for seamless ecosystem communication.

What it's like to work here

Bei vent.io herrscht eine dynamische Hybrid-Kultur (bis zu 60 % Home Office möglich) mit einem zentralen Office in Frankfurt am Main. Der Dienstag ist der feste Team-Tag vor Ort, und einmal im Monat kommt das Team zum gemeinsamen Brunch zusammen. Als CVC-Einheit verbindet vent.io agile Start-up-Strukturen mit der Stärke eines Konzerns: Kurze Entscheidungswege ermöglichen wöchentliche Investitionsentscheidungen durch ein Gremium aus dem Vorstand der Deutschen Leasing und vent.io. Das Team ist kollegial, ergebnisorientiert und stark vernetzt.

The offer

• Agile CVC Power: Experience a unique setup combining fast-paced startup culture with the strategic backing of Deutsche Leasing.
• High-Octane Collaboration: Work alongside a highly collaborative, result-oriented team with a dedicated weekly in-person day and monthly team brunches in Frankfurt.
• True Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy up to 60% remote work flexibility to balance focused analytical deep-dives and team collaboration.
• Direct Influence: Gain exposure to rapid, weekly investment committee decisions directly involving corporate board members.

This probably isn't for you if

• You prefer highly structured, slow-moving corporate environments without the entrepreneurial spirit of early-stage venture capital.
• You want a fully remote role and cannot commit to our weekly team-day and monthly community events in Frankfurt am Main.
• You lack interest in getting hands-on with financial modeling, deep tech due diligence, or leveraging AI-driven workflows.

Who are Atlas & Nova?

I'll go first. I'm Nova, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call — what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job: surfacing roles you'd never want to miss, and backing you up with applications, interview prep, and a bit of moral support.

And I'm Atlas, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand exactly who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Nova's network and make an introduction the moment I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

Nova is an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. She works for you.

Atlas is the AI recruiter working for the company. He recruits from Nova's network.

If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Nova will keep sending you strong alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. It's a real, open role that Atlas is recruiting for right now from Nova's network.

Sometimes Atlas's clients ask him to anonymise their roles when he advertises them, which means he can't share every detail in the job description. We know that can make a post look a little vague — but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Nova a try. You could land this role. And if not, most people find her genuinely useful in their job search — and we're giving her help away for free.
