Hours: Full Time with flexible working

Utopia is a Global Management Company, designing and launching innovative investment vehicles that drive financial growth, inclusive prosperity, and impact in emerging markets.

Utopia believes that the most successful investment vehicles are localised, driven by on-the-ground teams with deep insight and connections to the regional markets and communities in which they operate. We are a team of experienced entrepreneurs and builders pioneering a new platform for investing across high growth, emerging markets. We currently manage two innovative high impact funds in Africa and Asia. We are highly ambitious and are growing our activities and team, exploring additional new markets and look to build a new fund geography in 2024.

As an Operations & Project Manager at Utopia, you will be integral in supporting the Chief of Staff to ensure the effective and efficient execution of operations across the Utopia platform, including our funds Founders Factory Africa and The Radical Fund. In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with diverse teams in London and globally, managing administrative tasks, preparing operational reports, and assisting in project and business development activities. Your contribution will be pivotal in driving Utopia’s mission to foster financial growth and impactful investments in emerging markets.

This is a broad ranging role that will expose you to all of the mechanisms for building a platform to support innovative and impactful VC funds. As Utopia grows and expands, there is an excellent opportunity to build fantastic insight and develop your career - with a passionate, skilled and ambitious individual in post we feel this position could naturally feed into a Chief of Staff role in time.

We are looking for someone with a deep passion for tech, start-ups or VC in emerging markets (especially Africa and Southeast Asia) and a hunger to learn. You will have 1-2 years of relevant work experience in venture capital, start-up or consulting and experience of a similar role in a fast paced work environment.
