Full Job Description
Where you'll create impact

You'll build DualEntry's Investor channel; the private equity firms and venture capital funds whose portfolios contain thousands of our ICP customers. This role owns two related but distinct motions.

Private Equity. The play is fund-level: get on the roadmap for Value Creation and Operating Partner teams, and become the recommended ERP during platform acquisitions and post-close standardization. One PE partnership can produce multiple portco deals.

Venture Capital. The play is portfolio-level: unlock warm introductions to portfolio companies (Series A to C in our ICP) and build fund-wide programs that make DualEntry the default recommendation.

Your role includes:
  • Sourcing and closing fund-level partnerships with the right PE shops and VC funds
  • Building the economic case that gets a PE firm to standardize on DualEntry across its portfolio
  • Managing the fund-to-portco motion; fund-level warm intro converts to portco-level closed-won
  • Owning our presence at investor events (SuperReturn, ACG, NVCA, PEWIN, VC-firm annual summits, LP meetings)
  • Working with Sales to convert PE/VC-sourced portco intros into closed-won
  • Building collateral that speaks to fund LPs, GPs, and Operating Partners; not just end-users
  • Managing partner agreements from strawman to signature, balancing structural fairness with commercial outcomes


What sets you up for success
  • 3 to 6 years in capital markets, PE/VC, portfolio operations, or B2B partnerships that included fund or portfolio work
  • Understanding of how PE value-creation teams and VC platform teams operate
  • Ability to build the fund-level economic case, not just the portco product pitch
  • Comfort operating at the GP / Operating Partner level and translating that into portco-level activation
  • Strong commercial judgment on multi-portco deal structures
  • Data-driven and experimental mindset

Nice to have:
  • Existing network across PE Operating Partners, VC Platform teams, or the investor community
  • Prior experience selling into or partnering with PE portfolios or VC-backed cohorts
  • Fintech, ERP, or office-of-the-CFO ecosystem experience
  • Experience at an early-stage (Seed to Series B) company
Why you'll thrive here
  • Significant equity ownership in one of the top AI companies in the world
  • You're joining early and will grow with DualEntry
  • Your feedback shapes the product directly
  • High-speed, high-trust environment with high expectations
