We’re Hiring an Operations Associate at Eniac Ventures

At Eniac, we invest in the outliers — the Authentic, the Bold, the Curious, the Scrappy. We model our team after the same philosophy, and now we’re looking to bring on new team members who also exemplify our “ABCs.”

Eniac leads seed rounds in exceptional founders across consumer, enterprise, and deep tech. We make a relatively concentrated number of investments each year into high conviction founders and their companies. Now, after 10 years and launching our fifth fund, we’re looking to expand our team to support our backoffice operations.

This is a mission critical role at Eniac Ventures located at our headquarters in New York (Covid-19 update: until it is safe to return to an office environment, this role will be remote). This is a non-investment role and will not have any involvement with the investment process.
