Job description

We are looking for someone to build and lead Roundtable’s UK market from the ground up.

This is not a traditional business development role.

You will operate at the intersection of: venture capital, private markets infrastructure, ecosystem building and high-stakes deal execution.

Working directly with our founders, you will be responsible for establishing Roundtable as a key player in the UK ecosystem.

Your role is to support the penetration of the UK market.

As part of this role, you will:

  • Define and execute our UK go-to-market strategy

  • Build and activate relationships with VCs, angels, lawyers and key ecosystem players

  • Generate and close high-stakes transactions (from €100k SPVs to €250M+ funds)

  • Develop partnerships to accelerate market entry

  • Represent Roundtable within the UK ecosystem (events, communities, networks)

  • Contribute to our positioning and brand locally

  • Structure and track key initiatives

  • Hire and build a local team over time


Preferred experience

  • Experience: 5+ years in venture, private markets, fintech or high-growth startups, with exposure to commercial roles, fundraising or investment processes in the UK ecosystem

  • Ecosystem: Comfortable engaging VCs, angels, founders and key stakeholders

  • Commercial ownership: Proven ability to drive outcomes (closing deals, partnerships, revenue)

  • Entrepreneurial mindset: You thrive in fast-paced environments, take ownership beyond your scope and constantly look for better ways to execute.

  • Execution: Structured, detail-oriented, able to manage complex processes

  • Language: Fluent in English (French is a plus)

Why This Role is Unique

  • You’ll build something from zero, with full ownership and direct exposure to the founders

  • You’ll operate at the core of the venture ecosystem, working closely with top-tier investors

  • You’ll combine strategy, ecosystem building and deal execution in a single role

  • You’ll join a small, high-bar team where ownership is real - with meaningful equity

Roundtable is committed to creating a diverse environment. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment irrespective of gender, origins, identity, background, and orientations. We encourage all applicants, especially those from underrepresented groups, to apply for our open positions. We believe that diversity, equity and inclusion are fundamental pillars.
