CoVentures Deal Associate - Innovation_Delivery_Transformation

Position Summary

As a CoVentures Deal Associate, you work in close partnership with a Deal Lead to drive their book of CoVentures opportunities forward.

Deal Associates typically support each Deal Lead and act as the analytical and execution engine that lets the Deal Lead operate in market.

Recruiting for this role ends on 08/12/2026.

Work you'll do

You own the analytical, operational, and execution work that moves deals from sourcing through diligence and into structuring - including market research, financial modeling, target company analysis, materials development, and coordination across enabling functions.

You are a heavy user of the team's agentic operating system, and you act as product manager for an agentic workflow domain assigned by your Deal Lead, evolving how that domain operates as connectors and infrastructure come online.

This is a high-leverage role for a deal associate practitioner with strong strategic and quantitative chops who wants to learn deal-making by doing - running diligence, building business cases, sitting in pitches, and watching deal structures get architected in real time.

exclusivity, equity vs.

* Surface inbound opportunities and source outbound targets from market intelligence, alliance intel, and VC portfolio scanning; build target lists for Deal Lead review


* Demonstrated ability to operate under ambiguity and tight time constraints


* Comfort coordinating across enabling functions and senior stakeholders without direct authority


* Initiative and curiosity - willingness to take initiative on diligence, sourcing, and analysis without being directed at every step


* Active user of Claude and agentic tooling; readiness to act as PM for an agentic workflow domain


* Hands-on experience with financial modeling for complex deal structures


* Familiarity with emerging technologies (AI/GenAI/Agents, data platforms, SaaS products) and how they shape business cases
