VC Vice President of Investor Relations @ Goanna Capital in New York City, NY

Goanna Capital invests in the most ambitious technology companies shaping the future of AI, SaaS, cloud, and frontier innovation. Our portfolio includes category-defining leaders such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Ramp, Rippling, and Neuralink.

The Role 

We are looking for a hungry, road-ready IR professional who has spent the last 3-5 years inside a top-tier venture capital or growth equity. You will be expected to travel frequently, schedule 5-15 calls per day, cover LPs and work on CRM/email copies, investor materials and build a pipeline of investor contacts.

You will work directly and closely with our Managing Partner on everything from LP strategy to fundraising execution to day-to-day investor communications. The right person has come up through a top-tier venture or growth equity firm and is ready to own IR at one of the most exciting firms in private markets.

What Makes This Role Different 

• You will work directly with Goanna’s Founder and Managing Partner. This is high-visibility from day one.
• LP relationships are yours to own – not just service. You are building rapport, getting on-site, getting people onto text, and making sure every LP feels like a priority.
• This role involves significant global travel – you will regularly meet LPs and prospective investors across the US, Europe, and the Middle East.

What You’ll Do:

LP Relationship Management & Funnel  

• Build and deepen relationships with existing LPs through regular in-person meetings, dinners, and on-site visits – globally.
• Proactively identify relationship gaps and close them.
• Comfortable building large lists of investor contacts for cold emailing.
• Long hours building relationships with new LPs, servicing LPs and cold emailing.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for LP questions, requests, and ongoing communications between formal reporting periods.
• Represent Goanna at LP events, conferences, and firm meetings across the US, Europe, and Middle East.

Fundraising 

• Own the full due diligence process for prospective LPs – data room management, track record preparation, custom analyses, and in-person meetings.
• Develop benchmark comparisons and competitive positioning materials for new fundraises.
• Build and work through large prospect lists with rigor – identify patterns, prioritize outreach, and convert relationships into commitments.
• Support virtual and in-person due diligence meetings with comprehensive, well-prepared materials.

Reporting & Investor Communications 

• Own the creation and distribution of quarterly LP letters – clear, compelling, and consistent.
• Lead quarterly and annual LP reporting processes end-to-end.
• Produce regular portfolio updates and market commentary to keep investors engaged between formal reporting periods.
• Manage ad-hoc LP data requests with speed and precision.

What We’re Looking For 

• 3-5 years in investor relations at a venture capital or growth equity firm.
• Proven track record building and managing LP relationships directly – you have been in the room, not just processing requests behind the scenes.
• Comfortable and energized by heavy travel – this is a feature of the role, not a burden.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; ability to craft compelling quarterly letters and LP narratives from complex portfolio data.
• Fluency in private markets mechanics – fund structures, valuations, waterfall calculations, IRR/MOIC, and ILPA guidelines.
• Experience managing fundraising due diligence cycles and working through large prospect lists with rigor.
• High energy, ownership mentality, and the drive to build something – not just maintain it.

Why Goanna 

You will be working directly with leadership at one of the fastest-growing firms in private markets, with access to the most coveted portfolio in venture. If you want to own IR at a firm that is building something real – and you are ready to hit the road and do what it takes to build relationships at the highest level – this is the role.

Competitive salary and performance-based bonus. Real room to grow.
