Role Overview We’re hiring one mid-level Associate to lead portfolio execution across ASF. This is not a sourcing-first role. We want someone who’s already managed companies, handled founder complexity, and can turn data into insight—and insight into action. You will: - Own 8–12 active portfolio companies, reporting directly to a Principal - Run KPI tracking, quarterly reviews, and intervention planning - Lead analysts focused on data quality, financial performance, and board-ready reporting - Support AOP reviews, follow-on round preparation, and founder-side support - Help turnaround underperforming companies or flag red flags early This is a Partner-track role for a portfolio operator, not a pipeline hunter. What You’ll Lead Portfolio Oversight & Value Creation - Lead structured monthly and quarterly reviews across 8–12 active companies - Track KPIs across revenue, org design, GTM execution, hiring, and cash flow - Collaborate with founders to build or challenge AOPs and hiring plans - Flag underperformance early, and recommend interventions to the Principal - Support downstream rounds—materials, narrative,



and investor calibration Founder Alignment & Support - Maintain high-touch relationships with founding teams - Push for accountability without overstepping—own the “trusted challenger” seat - Act as the first escalation point for operational fire drills - Navigate difficult founder dynamics with maturity and clarity Analyst Team Management - Lead 1–2 analysts in tracking and interpreting portfolio data - Ensure output is accurate, timely, and IC-ready - Drive reporting discipline, deadline adherence, and performance visibility Investment Support & Execution - Support Principals on live deals: due diligence, benchmarking, IC memos - Review models, validate AOP assumptions, and identify operational risks pre-investment - Manage post-deal integration into the portfolio review system Who You Are - A buy-side trained portfolio manager, not just a transaction executor - Strong at handling complexity, ambiguity, and cross-functional founders - Can turn disorganised startup data into structured insights - Comfortable leading junior team members, reporting up to Principals, and working cross-border - Deep understanding of founder psychology, cap tables, burn, and operating leverage Required Experience - 3–5 years in venture capital, private equity, or cross-stage fund investing - Must have managed a portfolio of 5+ companies, including KPI and founder oversight - Must have supported AOP planning, follow-on fundraising, or company turnarounds - Must have closed at least 2 investments end-to-end on the buy-side - MBA or CA required OR robust proof of financial modeling, AOP structuring, and decision-prep ownership - Experience managing analysts or junior team members in fund settings is a plus Candidates with only investment banking, transaction advisory, or consulting backgrounds will not be considered. Compensation Structure - Total Annual Package: ₹26,50,000 - ₹20,00,000 fixed annual salary - ₹3,25,000 confirmed annual retention bonus (paid every 12 months) - ₹3,25,000 ESOP grant annually (each annual grant comes with its own vesting schedule) - Performance bonus (based on portfolio success and personal execution) - Carry participation (disclosed during the final interview stage) Fixed compensation is non-negotiable. All upside is earned through performance.
