The RoleWe are hiring an
Investor to join our investment team. This is a high-impact role for someone who is deeply curious about technology, markets, and people - and who is excited to develop new points of view.
We are open to candidates coming from
investing (VC, growth, PE),
operating (front row seat to scale), or
technical background (product/engineering). What matters most is intellectual horsepower, ownership mentality, and the ability to identify and evaluate what should exist next.
We are a highly collaborative, lean team. Since we operate in a fast-paced and relatively unstructured environment, you will wear many hats and need to be able to quickly adjust as such. No matter what it takes to get the job done, you can be counted on to deliver, and deliver something exceptional. This role is ideal for someone who wants real exposure to decision-making, founder relationships, and long-term company building.
What You'll Do- Source and evaluate investment opportunities across tech ecosystem
- Develop original theses on markets, technologies, and cultural inflection points
- Lead diligence: market mapping, competitive analysis, customer and expert calls, and financial modeling
- Work closely with founders from first meeting through investment and beyond
- Support portfolio companies on strategic thinking, hiring, and growth initiatives
- Help represent Sound in the broader tech and founder ecosystem
Who You Are- 4+ years of total experience in investing, operating, consulting, or a related field
- Insanely curious - you go deep on ideas before you're asked, and you're always connecting dots
- A self-starter who thrives with autonomy and takes ownership
- Open-minded and intellectually honest
- Strong analytical and communication skills - you can move seamlessly from narrative to numbers
- Excited by early-stage ambiguity and long-term thinking
- Comfortable engaging with ambitious founders and senior leaders as a peer
- MBA not required. Candidates with an MBA are encouraged to apply. This role is well-suited for post-MBA professionals.
Why Sound- Exposure to category-defining founders and companies at the early stages
- A small, highly engaged team with real responsibility and trust
- The opportunity to help shape investment decisions, not just support them
- A culture that values independent thinking, creativity, and conviction
If you're energized by discovering what's next - and helping founders bring it into the world - we'd love to meet you.
