Job

Emerging VC funds often demonstrate superior market performance compared to established VC funds. Despite the proven outperformance of their funds, first-time fund managers typically struggle to get their funds off the ground:Allocator One backs exceptional first- and second-time fund managers around the world—acting as “seed-investor + platform” for emerging VC funds.

Infra One, our fund-ops and tech arm, provides the regulatory, administrative, and tech infrastructure that allows those new funds to scale rapidly and globally. We are already live and serving customers in the UK, US, Austria, Germany and launching Singapore, India and Luxembourg imminently.

Together, we deliver both the capital and the structure fund managers need—and in doing so build a global ecosystem of platforms, people, and ideas that reshape private markets.

About Allocator One Group
Allocator One Group is a global investing and operating platform reshaping how institutional capital reaches private markets. We see roughly 80% of the global first-time GP landscape and back the top 3% before the wider market does. Over two vintages that portfolio has produced 17 unicorns.

Allocator One anchors emerging managers: $1–10m in VC funds, $2–15m in buyout funds, plus single-deal SPVs.

Infra One is our AI-native fund operations platform, live across the UK, US, Austria and Germany.

Fund II (250m) has held its first close. Fund III (500m) comes next. We are hiring the person who closes both.

This is not a stewardship role. It is a build role. You will own Allocator One's capital formation from first meeting to signed sub docs, and turn a founder-led raise into an institutional fundraising machine.

Profil

5+ years raising capital for private funds, at a GP, FoF, placement agent or institutional allocator. Allocators moving to the manager side are welcome.
A track record of personally closing nine-figure commitments
Warm relationships with European institutions and family offices. US, Middle East or APAC reach is a plus.
Fluency in FoF economics, J-curves, DPI and portfolio construction
Refining and automating: you prefer automating the funnel to growing headcount
English is a must. German is a plus.
Location: This is a hybrid position, with Vienna, London, or Berlin as preferred locations. However, being based in one of these cities is not a requirement.

Aufgaben

Lead Fund II to final close, then design and run the Fund III raise
Own the pipeline across pensions, insurers, endowments, foundations, family offices, sovereigns, consultants, wealth platforms and strategic LPs
Lead term negotiations, side letters, MFN processes and closings with Legal
Own the emerging-manager thesis in the market: the deck, DDQs, data room and our Alpha Industry Report
Turn our data advantage, the largest deal flow in the category, into LP-grade evidence on returns and loss ratios
Represent us on panels, at LP conferences and in CIO meetings
Build the capital formation team (IR and the Growth & Intelligence Associate) and set targets and coverage
Run the raise on our stack: CRM, Ori (our in-house AI), automated follow-ups and diligence. No spreadsheet archaeology.
Bring LP feedback back into product design: co-invest, SPVs, the multi-layer platform offering
Turn Fund II LPs into Fund III re-ups, and Fund III LPs into platform partners
Sit in the partnership and help shape where the group goes next

Unser Angebot

Why this role matters Every euro you raise becomes the first cheque for an emerging manager who otherwise could not get a fund off the ground. Fund II and Fund III together are 750m of anchor capital. That moves the whole category. Allocator One is not for the faint-hearted. If you want to build the capital engine behind the next generation of fund managers, talk to us.

Partner title and a seat at the table with the founders
A platform, data and tooling behind you from day one
"No assholes allowed" culture, high trust, high ownership
Base: €180,000–€240,000 gross annual salary for the Vienna role, calibrated to experience. London compensation will be agreed in GBP.
Annual bonus: target of 100% of base, up to 200% for exceptional delivery against agreed objectives. It rewards completed fundraising and the build-out of a repeatable institutional capital-formation function, with attribution and payout rules agreed upfront.
Carried interest: participation in Fund II, plus a documented conditional allocation in Fund III, subject to vesting and fund terms.
