Venture Capital Director – Shaping the Future of Deep Technology Investments

Join a pioneering investment platform at the forefront of deep technology innovation, where vision meets opportunity. As a **Venture Capital Director**, you will play a pivotal role in identifying, evaluating, and scaling groundbreaking startups across high-impact sectors such as advanced materials, sustainability, water technologies, AI hardware, mining technology, and advanced manufacturing. This is more than a career—it’s a chance to influence the trajectory of transformative industries while contributing to a dynamic investment team based in Saudi Arabia.

In this strategic leadership role, you will leverage your expertise to build a robust portfolio of deep-tech investments, fostering long-term growth for both the platform and its portfolio companies. Your influence will extend beyond deal sourcing and execution, encompassing stakeholder engagement, market trend analysis, and value creation initiatives that drive measurable impact. This is an exceptional opportunity to collaborate with a global investment mandate, shaping the future of technology-driven solutions in emerging and established markets.

Key Responsibilities

Your role will demand a blend of analytical rigor and strategic foresight, with responsibilities including:

• Strategic Investment Sourcing: Identify and assess high-potential deep-tech ventures globally, ensuring alignment with the platform’s long-term investment thesis.
• End-to-End Deal Execution: Lead comprehensive due diligence—financial, technical, and commercial—while structuring, negotiating, and closing transactions with precision and confidence.
• Stakeholder & Ecosystem Engagement: Cultivate relationships with founders, venture capitalists, accelerators, academic institutions, and industry partners to uncover exclusive opportunities and foster collaboration.
• Portfolio Growth & Governance: Provide strategic guidance to portfolio companies, participate in governance, and implement value-creation initiatives to accelerate their success.
• Market & Trend Insight: Stay ahead of emerging technologies and sector-specific developments, ensuring the investment platform remains at the cutting edge of innovation.
• Committee & Leadership Representation: Present investment recommendations to internal committees and senior stakeholders, advocating for data-driven decisions that align with the platform’s vision.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is not just a job—it’s a chance to be part of a high-impact, mission-driven organization with ambitious global ambitions. By joining this team, you will:

• Contribute to a world-class deep technology investment portfolio from a strategic hub in Saudi Arabia.
• Benefit from a highly competitive compensation package, including relocation support and comprehensive family benefits.
• Work alongside a collaborative, forward-thinking team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation.
• Shape the future of industries that address global challenges in sustainability, technology, and industrial advancement.
