About The Role

&lt;div class=&quot;content-intro&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Alumni Ventures&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Alumni Ventures is one of the world’s most active venture capital platforms, with $1.4B+ in assets raised and investments in 1,600+ companies. Our network of 850,000+ members and 40+ dedicated investors connects accredited individuals to high-quality venture deals—typically reserved for institutions—through our alumni-driven communities and diversified co-investment strategy. With offices in Boston, New York, Chicago, Menlo Park, Manchester, NH, London and Tokyo we’re rapidly growing and committed to fueling entrepreneurial success while developing the next generation of VC professionals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;We believe our best work happens when we’re together. AV operates as a 5-day-a-week, in-office culture because collaboration, mentorship, and shared momentum matter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Role&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer&quot; data-start=&quot;88&quot; data-end=&quot;272&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;The Senior Partner plays a critical role in Alumni Ventures’ growth: turning prospective investors into first-time AV investors and creating the foundation for long-term relationships.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;274&quot; data-end=&quot;651&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Reporting to the EVP of Nurture Marketing as part of the Investor Conversion Pillar, you will own inbound and warm prospect conversations from qualification through close. You’ll serve as an internal expert on high-quality investor calls, quickly understanding what brought each prospect to AV, what they want from venture exposure, and which AV offering best fits their goals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;653&quot; data-end=&quot;1012&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;This is a solution-selling role, not a scripted sales role. Prospects come to AV with different motivations — from accessing compelling individual deals to building diversified venture exposure — and you’ll adapt the conversation accordingly. Depending on the investor, that could mean a syndicate deal, an Alumni Fund, a Focused Fund, or the Foundation Fund.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1014&quot; data-end=&quot;1304&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Your first priority is zero-to-one conversion: helping a net-new prospect make their first AV investment. Just as important, you’ll establish the trust and understanding that can support a long-term, annual-allocation relationship, which our Relationship Management team will carry forward.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You’ll Do&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot; data-section-id=&quot;1bdzzdh&quot; data-start=&quot;1732&quot; data-end=&quot;1896&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Use active listening and thoughtful discovery to understand what an investor wants from venture exposure, then connect those needs to the appropriate AV offering.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot; data-section-id=&quot;1t31twb&quot; data-start=&quot;1897&quot; data-end=&quot;2039&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Listen for buying signals, hesitation, and objections, adjusting the conversation to help prospects make informed decisions with confidence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot; data-section-id=&quot;1xc9kyl&quot; data-start=&quot;2234&quot; data-end=&quot;2400&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Maintain disciplined follow-through by accurately documenting call outcomes, prospect insights, and next steps in HubSpot and actively advancing your book of leads.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who You Are&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot; data-section-id=&quot;vst11w&quot; data-start=&quot;3134&quot; data-end=&quot;3273&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;You are a strong verbal communicator who can build trust, sustain engagement, and guide nuanced conversations effectively over the phone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

You are skilled at diagnosing what a prospect actually needs and matching your approach to different motivations, levels of investment experience, and buying signals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot; data-section-id=&quot;1s68thl&quot; data-start=&quot;3475&quot; data-end=&quot;3612&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;You are comfortable adapting in real time when a conversation takes an unexpected direction rather than relying on a prescribed script.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
