Venture Partner Secondaries Origination

Job Description

About Avalanche Capital

Avalanche Capital is a secondaries investment platform giving qualified investors access to the most sought-after private technology companies before they go public. We acquire positions in category-defining companies across AI, defense and infrastructure through dedicated SPVs and co-investment vehicles. We work with founders, early shareholders and GPs to provide liquidity, and with family offices and institutional investors to deploy capital into these opportunities. Our operations span the US, UK and Europe.

The Role

We are looking for a Venture Partner to lead origination. You will be responsible for bringing proprietary access to allocations in top-tier pre-IPO companies. This means sourcing secondary blocks from early employees, founders, angels and funds seeking liquidity. It also means securing primary allocations in upcoming rounds through direct relationships with founders and company leadership. This role is the engine of our platform. The quality of what we offer investors depends on the access you bring.

What You Will Do

• Source secondary positions from GPs, family offices, early employees and angel investors in high-demand private companies
• Build direct relationships with founders, CFOs and boards to secure allocation in primary rounds and company-sanctioned liquidity programmes
• Navigate transfer restrictions, ROFR processes and company approvals to bring transactions to close
• Negotiate pricing and terms with sellers, and structure positions for SPV deployment
• Own and grow a pipeline of priority companies aligned with our investment focus
• Work alongside the Head of Investor Relations to match supply with investor demand

What You Bring

• 7+ years in venture capital, growth equity, private secondaries, investment banking or a secondary market platform
• A demonstrable network among founders, early employees and GPs at leading late-stage private companies
• A track record of sourcing or executing secondary transactions or late-stage allocations
• Working knowledge of cap tables, transfer restrictions, ROFR mechanics and SPV structures
• Credibility with founders, with the judgement to protect those relationships over any single deal
• An entrepreneurial mindset and comfort building inside a lean, fast-moving team

What We Offer

• A senior seat at a growing secondaries platform with direct influence over strategy and deal selection
• Competitive fixed compensation with meaningful deal-linked economics
• Flexible engagement structure for the right candidate
• Exposure to a high-quality investor base across three continents
