About the role

  • Investment Associate driving venture capital impact at Planet A Ventures in Berlin. Shape investment processes and grow networks across Europe's tech ecosystem.

Responsibilities

  • Shape the future of planet-positive entrepreneurship: Share responsibility for the full investment process — from identifying promising ventures and meeting visionary founders to conducting deep dives, arranging expert calls, and preparing investment proposals that turn ideas into reality.
  • Grow our network and influence: Build and nurture meaningful relationships across Europe’s VC landscape with founders and industry experts, strengthening Planet A’s reach and enhancing our deal-sourcing edge.
  • Turn opportunities into investments: Work side-by-side with our General Partners to bring deals across the finish line — from negotiation to closing.
  • Dive deep into science and tech: Develop expertise in frontier deep-tech topics that hold the keys to solving global challenges.
  • Connect the dots and see ahead: Prepare market and industry research that inspires new investment theses and keeps us ahead of emerging trends.
  • Build institutional knowledge: Support internal projects that help Planet A become increasingly thesis- and data-driven.
  • Be an ambassador for Planet A: Represent us at industry events, on stage, and in writing — from speaking engagements to blog posts — while actively building your own network and amplifying our presence in the venture ecosystem.

Requirements

  • You drive impact through investing with a proven track record in venture capital, private equity, or related investment roles in fast-paced environments.
  • Bonus points for a solid foundation in a scientific or engineering discipline to strengthen our science-meets-business edge.
  • Curiosity is your superpower: You are passionate about emerging deep-tech trends and actively building knowledge and relationships within Europe's tech ecosystem.
  • You thrive on immersing yourself in uncharted waters and turning connections into insights.
  • You harness AI as a competitive edge: You are comfortable using common AI tools for research, analysis, and workflow automation to accelerate deal evaluation and due diligence.
  • Structure meets creative hustle: You bring exceptional self-organisation and a methodical, data-driven approach to your work, while remaining agile and able to think on your feet.
  • Confident, grounded, driven by purpose: You engage external partners with conviction and clarity, yet lead with humility and empathy.
  • A master of meaningful communication: You are fluent in English (written and spoken); multilingual ability is an added asset to help us connect across Europe.
  • Mission fuels you: You are not just after a job — you're after a reason: making a measurable difference for the planet.

Benefits

  • You will be an integral part of a top-tier venture capital firm — the first in Europe with a scientific approach to impact.
  • You join a dynamic environment driven by impact and highly motivated to make change for the better.
  • Although we’d love for you to be based in Berlin (we have a beautiful office in Berlin Mitte), remote work within Europe is absolutely possible.
  • You have access to an annual personal development budget as well as travel and conference allowances.
  • You enjoy benefits like corporate discounts, an Urban Sports membership, and the Deutschlandticket.
  • You participate in our monthly co-working days — collaborate side by side with the entire team and strengthen connections over lunches, dinners, and team activities.
  • You attend our bi-annual offsite gatherings with the entire Planet A team.
