Investment Manager (Contract)

Trust Fund is an early-stage venture fund focused on applied AI products that power how modern businesses are built and operated. The fund is led by Sophia Amoruso, who serves as Founder & Managing Partner. We’re backed by a group of experienced operators, founders, and investors.

We’re looking for an Investment Manager to support the Founder & Managing Partner and work closely across fundraising, investment pipeline, and long-term fund operations. This role is focused on supporting an active fundraise and maintaining core fund operations, alongside portfolio support and longer-term fund setup. This is a part-time, contract role designed for someone experienced in venture capital who prefers flexibility and autonomy, with the opportunity to extend over time.

In this role, you will:

• Own fundraise support workflows for an early-stage venture fund (excluding LP meetings and final negotiations)
• Maintain and manage the fundraising pipeline, CRM, and LP tracking with high data integrity
• Draft LP updates, fundraising memos, FAQs, and diligence follow-ups
• Create full investment memos and support company diligence end-to-end
• Maintain portfolio data, reporting inputs, and data room hygiene
• Draft and maintain external-facing materials (fund wiki, internal docs, process docs)
• Screen inbound deal flow and exercise independent judgment on prioritization
• Proactively source and research new investment opportunities where relevant
• Conduct sector research, market sizing, competitive analysis, and risk assessment to inform new investment areas
• Identify inefficiencies in fund workflows and implement process improvements or automations
• Operate as a thought partner to the GP on fund narrative, positioning, and institutional readiness

We'd like you to have:

• 3–5 years of experience in venture capital, ideally at an early-stage fund focused on B2B software or technology
• Prior experience supporting fundraises, LP reporting, and diligence processes
• Strong analytical skills and experience building and maintaining financial models
• Excellent written communication skills; able to produce investor-facing materials with minimal editing
• Comfort operating independently in an unstructured, asynchronous environment
• Strong judgment and the ability to prioritize without constant direction
• High attention to detail and strong systems thinking
• Intellectual curiosity and the ability to quickly develop informed views on new markets and technologies
• Familiarity with modern VC tooling (CRMs, Carta, Notion, data rooms, Google Docs/Sheets/Drive)

How we work (important):

• Work is largely asynchronous
• Feedback is thoughtful but not instant
• You are expected to propose solutions, not wait for direction
• First drafts are thinking artifacts; iteration is expected
• This role requires confidence, self-direction, and ownership
• Some “managing up” to a busy Managing Partner will be necessary at times
