A fully remote role based in the USA

Role Overview 🚀

Are you a highly experienced investment professional with a proven track record of evaluating and managing complex investments in fast-moving digital companies? Are you looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the world of start-ups? If so, we at Uncapped would like to invite you to apply for the role of Senior Investment Manager in our Risk team.

At Uncapped, we invest in growing businesses and ambitious founders. As a Senior Investment Manager, you will engage with a diverse group of founders on a daily basis to help them secure the financing they need to grow their businesses. You will report to the Director of Investments (DOI) and deputise on their behalf in their absence. You will utilise your expertise to develop a deeper understanding of the geographies, sectors, business models and use cases that we serve.

You will take accountability for the underwriting and credit performance of our largest and most complex applicants through their lifecycle and support the Junior Investment Associates with expertise and guidance on smaller-sized deals.

You will take ownership of our underwriting models and drive continuous improvements through process and model improvements.

In addition to analysing financial statements and business plans, you will also have a keen eye for risks from different sources such as business models, and macro and sectoral trends. You will act as the gatekeeper for our company and help us make safe and sound decisions.

By taking on this role, you will help fund thousands of growing businesses that are the lifeblood of the global economy and Uncapped's future success.
