You will work directly with founders, investors, board members, and the global Endeavor network across 50 markets. Your mission is simple but high leverage: identify exceptional founders early, support them deeply, and ensure no high-potential entrepreneur is missed. This is not a traditional account management or community role. This role sits much closer to founder selection, strategic relationship building, and ecosystem intelligence. You will work closely with highly ambitious founders building global technology companies. You will likely build relationships with exceptional founders years before they become widely recognized. We value judgment over process-following. We care more about your ability to recognize exceptional people, build trust, and create leverage than perfectly execute predefined playbooks.

Serve as the primary day-to-day point of contact for candidates throughout their selection journey. Support Local Selection Panels and International Selection Panels by preparing materials. Who you are: 1-4 years of experience in venture capital, entrepreneurship, consulting, investment banking, private equity, or a related field. Low ego, high standards, strong judgment, and strong follow-through. You are genuinely excited about entrepreneurship. You follow founders, read about startups, and find company building intellectually compelling, not just professionally interesting.
