About Pairs Pairs is a global network connecting family offices, institutional investors, VCs, and angel investors. The company rigorously screens deal flow, presenting opportunities that pass due diligence to its network and co-investing alongside them. This full-time role is based in Saudi Arabia. The Role of Venture Capital Associate As a Venture Capital Associate, you will be responsible for expanding Pairs' network of investors who directly invest in private companies and managing these relationships.

The platform handles pipeline management, research, and follow-up, allowing you to focus on investor engagement and assessing capital commitment readiness.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of guiding at least one investor from initial conversation to a direct investment in a private round, with the ability to detail this process. Discretion is paramount in this role. Required Qualifications and Skills Demonstrated ability to build investor relationships personally and explain their origin. Experience in facilitating at least one direct investment in a private round from an investor. Comprehensive understanding of investor preferences, including investment stage, check size, sector, and reasons for declining opportunities. A high degree of discretion in handling sensitive information. Proficiency in using AI tools daily, with sound judgment regarding their application to enhance work quality. Compensation and Work Environment This is a fully remote, asynchronous role offering a base salary plus commission. You will work directly with the two co-founders and the investor team within a flat organizational structure, providing direct insight into deal screening processes and decision-making. You will have access to live mandates from your first week and opportunities that clear internal diligence.
