Investment Banker

We are hiring an Investment Banking Associate to bring investors into the opportunities on Pairs, and to run each investor process with a bankers discipline.

Pairs is a global network of family offices, institutional investors, VCs and angels. We screen deal flow very tightly, and the opportunities that clear our diligence go out to the network. This role sits on the investor side of Pairs. You know how a process runs: the investor list, the first approach, the follow-up, the meeting and the next step. You bring the investor relationships you built on deals, and you open new ones every month: family offices, high-net-worth individuals, angels and funds that invest directly in companies.
Our investors invest directly in companies, so a network made up mainly of fund LPs or institutional mandates is not the right fit for this role. Our platform handles the pipeline, research and follow-up. Your time goes to investor conversations, and to judging which investors will actually commit capital.
You will work directly with the two co-founders and our investor team. We are looking for someone who has sat on the outreach side of a deal and wants to own the relationships, not only the materials.
Investor processes. Your investor relationships. Investor matching. A clear understanding of what each investor looks for, so the opportunities you share are relevant.
Have worked on live capital raises or M&A processes and run investor or buyer outreach yourself, not only built the deck and the model.
Hold investor relationships you built personally, and can explain how each one began.
Know what an investor needs to see before taking a meeting, and how to get a busy one to reply.
A wrong figure in an investor email costs trust that is hard to win back.
Please do not include any investor names in your application.
Use AI tools daily, with clear judgement about where they improve your work and where they would compromise its quality.
