Our entrepreneurial investment and venture capital firm JUMP Investors is hiring an analyst to work primarily on Sandee (www.sand.ee), an exciting travel start-up we have been incubating for several years and which we will be launching in the next several months. This position is ideal for individuals interested in a career as an entrepreneur, and while it will offer limited exposure to our investments, it is not geared for those seeking to work on venture capital deals, finance deals, or other investments.
This is a very unique opportunity to work closely with a well-known, successful serial entrepreneur and investor – the CEO of JUMP is a co-founder of Akamai Technologies (Nasdaq: AKAM) and his VC investments have included many exits through acquisitions or IPO’s.
