OTHER THINGS TO KNOW
You need to be self-motivated and a self-starter. You will not be micromanaged in any capacity. It will be expected that you see your tasks through to completion, speak up and ask questions when you have them, communicate progress and status updates accordingly, and when you’ve reached the end of your to-do list, ask: “what can I tackle next?”
In the COVID-era your work will be nearly 100% virtual. Post-COVID, your work will continue to be primarily virtual but will also involve onsite work at various client offices and event locations. You will need reliable transportation. You also may be required to fly and/or drive for various client events. As such, a current passport and a valid driver’s license are required. TSA Pre/Global Entry status is a bonus.
When in-person, you will need to dress professionally, ranging from business casual (nice blouse/top or collared shirt, jeans, nice shoes) to business formal (nice blouse/top/dress or button-down shirt, skirt or slacks, nice shoes) depending on the meeting type, event, or occasion. When working from home, we support all forms of athleisure wear (especially Vuoris).
You will have the opportunity to pursue projects and elements of the work you are passionate about and are proficient at. You will also have the opportunity for growth and mentorship if you so desire.
You will be provided with all the technology, tools, and supplies needed for your success. You will also receive a complimentary annual membership to Let’s Talk Ops to further service and support your work outputs and venture capital knowledge.
