About SE Ventures

SE Ventures is Schneider Electric's venture investment platform, based in Menlo Park, with approximately $1B in assets under management.

The firm invests in category-defining companies transforming energy, industrial automation, and critical infrastructure-particularly where software, data, and AI intersect with the physical world.

SE Ventures operates as a specialist venture fund with a strategic edge.

Founders value the firm's deep domain knowledge across energy and industrial markets, combined with the ability to accelerate commercial traction through Schneider Electric's global footprint-bringing credibility with enterprise customers, access to channel partnerships, and real-world deployment opportunities.

Since its launch in 2019, SE Ventures has built a portfolio of more than 50 companies, including multiple unicorns and decacorns, and has realized over a dozen exits.

We are looking to expand our investment team with the addition of an Associate.

This role provides significant autonomy and clear ownership.

The individual will source and support investments in leading industrial technology, infrastructure software, and enterprise AI companies-primarily at the Series A to Series C stages-contribute meaningfully to diligence and conviction-building and play an active role in post-investment value creation alongside senior team members.

The role is designed for someone who operates with venture-level intensity, strong work ethic, and a collaborative mindset, and who will drive diligence and deal execution in close partnership with India Partner, earning trust with founders and internal stakeholders
