Investment Analyst, Teachers' Venture Growth

Teachers’ Venture Growth (TVG) backs late-stage venture and growth equity companies that use technology to disrupt incumbents and build entirely new sectors. We partner with ambitious founders to capture the global opportunities emerging from unprecedented technological change.

Our global team invests in companies around the world that have a proven business model and a clear path to scale.

This is a hands-on role from day one. You will work side by side with the investment team and be involved in every stage of the deal process, from early evaluation through to closing and portfolio monitoring. As an Investment Analyst, you will dig into emerging themes, technologies and sectors, build financial analysis, support commercial due diligence and help shape the investment memos that go to committee.

You will join a tight-knit, global team of ~25 investment professionals across Toronto, San Francisco, London, Mumbai, and Singapore.

You will also gain exposure to other asset classes and functional groups across Ontario Teachers’ global investment platform. Through the investment and due diligence process, you will engage directly with industry experts, advisors, and the founders and management teams of high-growth companies.
