Why you will love this role:

As an Analyst you will play a direct and crucial role in developing these emerging technology companies which can change the world for the better.

You will be engaged in all parts of the investment process; deal generation, initial assessment, due diligence, writing investment papers and closing financing rounds.

Working in a world-class investment team, you will have plenty of opportunity to learn from those around you.
A key part of the role will be finding the opportunities and assessing their potential. This will involve developing relationships with departments and their academics and working with them to build their opportunities.
Here'sa little more detail on what you'll be able to do:

Build investment opportunities:

Collaborate with the investment lead to develop a robust deal flow, conducting deep dives into emerging markets and identifying promising research programs within academia.

Work closely with Founders, CE colleagues, and external advisors to shape business and investment strategies, while also building relationships with potential co-investors to form strong syndicates.

Actively engage with the Cambridge ecosystem, networking to promote and accelerate deal flow, while assisting in preparing comprehensive investment cases for review by the CE Investment Committee.

Help complete the deal:
Establish and nurture relationships within the academic and entrepreneurial communities, particularly focusing on the physical sciences sector.
Coordinate with colleagues in the Cambridge Enterprise Technology Transfer office to assess University IP assets for potential spin-out opportunities.

Scout, evaluate, and pursue spin-out/start-up opportunities across various technology sectors by actively participating in relevant talks, conferences, and networking events.

Generate high-quality deal flow:
Lead the investment due diligence process, thoroughly analyzing company technology, market dynamics, and conducting sector interviews.
Gain proficiency in investment-related legal documentation, aiding in finalizing and executing documents essential to portfolio management.
Facilitate negotiations between spin-out companies and investor syndicates to ensure smooth deal execution and alignment of interests.

Help grow the company:
Support the investment lead in identifying and recruiting top-tier commercial and non-executive director talent for portfolio companies.

Provide assistance to funded companies in building their commercial teams, attending board meetings, and potentially assuming board positions (Director or Observer).

Cultivate networks, manage relationships, and streamline information flow to facilitate access to capital and investment syndication for portfolio companies.
