Below are some thoughts on what we think would help a candidate be successful in this position. Competencies:

• Analytical Mindset
• Reliable (Things do not fall through the cracks. Things that need to get done, get done and done on time. Nothing is ever forgotten, lost or neglected.)

Job Description: I'm an entrepreneur with a couple of exits under my belt, currently managing my own single family office. This involves managing a Diverse Asset Portfolio (more on this below) and various Operating Company and Entrepreneurial Projects. I have more on my plate than I can handle, so I'm looking to groom a right-hand person to be my “mini-me”. Job Responsibilities: You would be working with me on a day-to-day basis and learning directly from me. You'll be in the driver's seat on:

• Evaluating, making and managing investments ranging from public securities and real estate to startups and emerging industries. (Our startup work has a strong concentration on purpose driven, diverse, and female founded companies.)
• Helping build, run, fix and grow portfolio companies.
• Exploring, developing and testing cool new ideas and business opportunities and building new businesses that make an impact.
• M&A transactions (aka buying and selling businesses).

There will be some boring stuff like managing family and corporate financials, legal documents and various operational bs that needs to get done when running companies. Other Job Details: Good to know (or should be able to learn quickly):

• Understanding of basic Finance and Accounting principles
• Excel!!! (and you need to be good at math)
