Unusual Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm focused on working with the very best enterprise software founders. We are looking for an Operating Partner to lead our Founder Services and Platform teams.
We want a builder and just as importantly a manager and a coordinator: someone who will own the details run the team and make sure our support reaches founders on time and at quality.
The Role
This is a builders role with a Partners scope and ownership. You will be one of Unusuals Operating Partners on equal footing with our CFO and Operating Partner.
You will work closely with John Vrionis to organize and direct the resources of our Founder Services and Platform teams and you will own the day-to-day leading the people setting priorities and making sure our support reaches founders when and where they need it.
You will care deeply about helping founders whatever the need. Some days that is a critical executive hire. Others it is sharpening go-to-market opening a door to a customer landing a piece of coverage or getting a founder in the right room. You will meet each company where it is at whatever stage and marshal the firms resources to move it forward.
What Youll Do
Own the day-to-day. Lead the Founder Services and Platform teams day-to-day the people the priorities and the standards.
Organize the resources. Direct our talent go-to-market marketing events content and customer-introduction resources so they reach the founders who need them most.
Help founders win. Meet founders at any stage pre-seed through Series B and help on whatever front matters: recruiting go-to-market customers narrative or coverage.
Build the playbook. Partner with John to shape how Unusual supports founders and turn that into repeatable programs the team can deliver at quality.
Set the standard. Raise the bar for what value-add actually means in venture and make it real not theater.
Who You Are
A proven operator with a track record of success in startups as a CEO or COO with deep experience in enterprise software in particular.
You have built and scaled companies and you know the difference between traction and noise.
You have built go-to-market and recruiting motions from the ground up and you can coach founders on both with credibility.
You get real joy from helping founders succeed and you have the standing to challenge them and be heard.
You are a strong leader of teams who can own execution and raise the performance of the people around you.
You have high standards and high empathy and you bring calm structured thinking to messy problems.
You care deeply about truth clarity and long-term company building.
You are values-driven. You care about integrity substance and doing the right thing.
Location & Compensation
This role is based in the Bay Area. You will work from our Menlo Park or San Francisco office we are flexible on which and you should live within reach of both and of our founders.
Compensation is highly competitive and commensurate with the seniority of the seat including meaningful upside in the firms success.
Why This Seat
This is a chance to shape how venture support should work for the next decade. If you have built before and now want to help others build better this is the most meaningful seat you will find.
