For nearly thirty years, RRE Ventures has been a leading venture capital firm in New York with nearly $2.5B under management and +400 portfolio companies. With over 25 IPOs and dozens of trade sales through the years, there is a lot going on at any given time. Recent well-known companies include Datadog, Venmo, Braintree, DCG, Noom, Kindbody, Spring Health, Olo, and BuzzFeed, among many other category-defining businesses. We pride ourselves not only on investing in great entrepreneurs and delivering stellar returns to our LPs but also on being supportive partners to our portfolio companies and active members of the venture community.
To deepen our engagement with both our companies and our community, RRE’s Investment Team is hiring an Analyst.
Our Analysts work collaboratively with senior members of the investment and operations teams, thrive in unstructured work environments, and take initiative to deliver value to the firm and our portfolio. The job includes assisting the partnership in all aspects of their daily activities, sourcing investments for the firm, conducting independent research on emerging spaces, supporting portfolio companies, and analyzing investment opportunities.
This Analyst role is a two-year program. Previous Analysts have leveraged their experience at RRE to jumpstart lifelong careers in venture or found/join high-growth tech companies across the landscape. This role isn’t for everyone but if you’re hard-working, passionate, outgoing, independent, smart, confident, and thorough it could be for you.
We are interviewing on a rolling basis and expect the new Analyst to join the team in 4Q22.
