We are seeking a highly motivated self-starter with a deep passion for the media/entertainment, sports, gaming and technology sectors. The ideal candidate will have 1-3 years of work experience, ideally in the financial sector with a preference for those with investing experience, as well as a strong understanding of general financial concepts and excel modeling skills. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate the ability to understand, articulate, and evaluate business models in our core sectors.

To be successful on our team, candidates should also have a global mindset, a great attitude and a willingness to adapt in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
The analyst will work with our team across all functions of venture capital fund management and deployment. Such functions include developing investment themes, sourcing new opportunities, diligence and deal execution, and the pursuit of exits. The analyst will also work closely with the management teams and boards of directors across our portfolio of existing investments on key strategic and operational initiatives. Further, the analyst will partner closely with colleagues across the Raine platform on regular fund management activities including reporting and fundraising efforts.
