Principal, Venture Sourcing & Investment Operations

Company Description LvlUp Ventures is a global venture capital firm that invests in and accelerates both early-stage and late-stage startups across sectors. Ranked among the most active venture capital firms worldwide, LvlUp holds leading positions in overall investment activity as well as consumer goods and technology investing. The firm’s opportunistic investment thesis centers on pairing capital with deep expertise, strategic partnerships, and an expansive global ecosystem to unlock outsized growth for founders. Beyond funding, LvlUp acts as an extended team to its portfolio, providing hands-on growth and fundraising support, strategic resources, and access to a powerful network of corporate, investment, and ecosystem partners. A global network of more than 4,000 core and extended team members is united by a mission to help founders build enduring, category-defining companies. Role Description The **Head of Venture Sourcing & Investment Operations** is responsible for building and scaling the systems that power LvlUp’s investment pipeline. This is a highly analytical, entrepreneurial, and execution-oriented role focused on creating a meaningful step-change in how LvlUp identifies, attracts, evaluates, organizes, and advances exceptional investment opportunities.

LvlUp’s VCR Program is a global network of **scouts and deal flow partners** who operate as an extension of the firm’s investment platform. Across more than **4,000 members**, the broader network submits approximately **15,000 deals annually**, creating one of the largest venture scouting and deal flow ecosystems in the world.
