Head of Ventures

Own Deal Flow & Investment Conversion

• Take full ownership of the investment engine, from AI-sourced pipeline to signed deal to on-track portfolio company. Time-to-close and conversion are your hard metrics.
• Close the pipeline-to-investment gap: convert qualified startups into funded deals, driving toward IC-approved, funded deals
• Chair the pipeline review and present to IC. Own the quality bar and the pre-IC soft-commit process, once compliance-cleared.
• Make the pipeline reproducible, not reactive: defined stages, real conversion assumptions, a weekly cadence you can defend.

Sourcing Strategy, Diligence & Deal Execution

• Own the four ranked sourcing channels: VC network, VC deal-sharing, qualified startup network, early startup network.
• Lead valuation, structuring, and negotiation on every deal, in partnership with Legal, Finance, and Compliance.
• Provide senior oversight of the Founders Club acceleration program, ensuring it demonstrably shortens the path to the next raise.
• Build and hold the relationships that compound: funds, corporates, follow-on investors, and the founders who send us other founders.

Portfolio Health, Team & Compliance

• With the CFO and finance function, own the standard.
• Lead VC associates and the sourcing team, coordinate with the Finance & Portfolio Associate
• Turn portfolio wins into proof: case studies and references
• Keep every deal and investor-facing artefact inside the PSFP compliance architecture.

You'll run the pipeline and close the deals yourself, owning the result end to end, and as the model proves out, build and lead the investment function beneath you.

What Success Looks Like

• A pipeline converting predictably against the targets
• AI signal utilisation meaningfully, feeding a higher-quality, lower-effort pipeline.
• A compliance record with zero exceptions to the PSFP architecture.

Experience & skills

• 7+ years in venture capital, corporate venture, or private equity, with a track record owning deal flow and conversion end to end, not just sourcing.
• Demonstrated success leading venture financings or similar transactions; board or board-observer experience a plus.
• Fluent in valuation, structuring, negotiation, and diligence. You write the memo the IC actually reads.
• Established relationships across the venture capital, startup, and investment banking communities.
• Comfortable owning a hard conversion metric and a compliance-first process at the same time.
• Player-coach: you run the deals and build the team that will run them after you.
• Strong analytical depth: you know the difference between a metric and a vanity number, and report the one that's true.
• Excellent communicator, credible with founders, IC members, LPs, and partners.
• Experience in B2B tech or venture environments, ideally with international or cross-border exposure.

Mindset

• Results-first and ownership-driven, comfortable operating under a hard number with full accountability. Nothing that touches conversion is "not your problem."
• You'd rather kill a weak deal early than nurse it to a bad close.
• Autonomous, structured, and resilient, with a strong bias to action.
• Works in close proximity to sourcing and IR; builds the system behind the scenes and shows up credibly in front of founders and investors.

Background

• Bachelor's degree in business, finance, economics, or a related field; advanced degree a plus.
• International experience or a strong interest in working in a multicultural environment.

Languages: Fluent English (C1) required. Other languages (French especially) are a plus.

• Own a number that matters: real, end-to-end ownership of the investment engine and how Inovexus converts pipeline into portfolio.
• Build the engine: you won't inherit a machine, you'll design the deal process that scales the fund.
• Access to everything: your pipeline feeds every product and relationship in the Inovexus network.
• Career accelerator: built to grow into a senior investment leadership role based on performance.
• Ownership & freedom: autonomy to challenge the status quo on sourcing and structuring, with real capital behind your calls.

• Full-time permanent contract (CDI)
• Hybrid work model (partial remote / work from home).
• Office based in center of Paris
• Compensation depending on profile
• Performance-based variable compensation
