Investment Committee Member - London

Investment Committee (IC) Member – Venture Capital

Part-time / Advisory | c. 1–2 days per month | London Based

The Opportunity

A UK-based venture capital platform is seeking to appoint an additional Investment Committee (IC) Member to strengthen decision-making capability as the platform continues to scale.

This is a non-executive, advisory appointment, designed to add deep venture capital expertise at IC level. The role is explicitly venture-focused and is not suited to traditional private equity or buy-out backgrounds.

Role Purpose

To provide independent, VC-specific judgement and challenge on new investments and portfolio decisions, ensuring that early-stage opportunities are assessed using appropriate venture frameworks rather than PE metrics.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a member of the Investment Committee, reviewing and approving new investment opportunities.
• Provide venture-appropriate insight on:
  • Founder quality and team dynamics
  • Product-market fit and scalability
  • Early-stage risk, capital efficiency and milestones
  • Venture return profiles and follow-on strategy
• Constructively challenge assumptions and contribute to robust investment debate.
• Advise on term sheets, syndication and deal structuring from a VC perspective.
• Contribute to broader portfolio strategy and value-creation discussions.

Candidate Profile

• Significant experience in Venture Capital, Corporate VC or early-stage growth investing.
• Previous involvement at Investment Committee level or equivalent decision-making forum.
• Background likely to include roles such as Partner, Venture Partner, Principal, Investment Director or similar.
• Strong track record of assessing and backing founder-led businesses at Seed, Series A and/or Series B.
• Confident operating as an independent voice, offering challenge with pragmatism and judgement.
• Exposure to impact, sustainability or purpose-led sectors is advantageous but not essential.

Commitment & Structure

• Time commitment: c. 1–2 days per month, aligned to IC meetings and pre-reads.
• Structure: Non-executive / advisory IC appointment.
• Remuneration: Market-aligned and flexible, typically a combination of retainer and/or carried interest.
