Square Peg is a global investment firm on a mission to empower exceptional founders. With teams in Sydney, Melbourne, Tel Aviv, and Singapore, Square Peg invests in emerging technology companies across the internet economy.
Square Peg has over US$3 billion in assets under management across its venture capital, opportunities and global listed equities funds. In addition, we’ve delivered material realised returns of US$0.6 billion. Since 2012 we have invested in over 50 companies including Fiverr, Canva, StashAway, Airwallex, Kredivo and Tomorrow.
The Global Tech Fund will be a concentrated portfolio of tech businesses, selected for their defensible growth potential over the long-term. Our approach is to deeply understand a company’s business model, competitive positioning, growth drivers and team. Our goal is to invest in companies that will become very large, important companies over time. Core to that understanding is the trends, themes, business models, people and cultures we learn about on a daily basis from the earliest stages of company formation, as well as the deep connection between and complementary research across our venture and listed teams.
We are hiring two Investment Analyst roles to form the foundational investment team. These roles will work collaboratively with our portfolio manager, Ben Hensman, to refine the strategy and start investing. This is a full-time role based in Melbourne.
At heart, you’re curious. You’re driven to understand complex concepts and love learning how founders and teams build high-growth technology companies. You love comparing growth strategies, leadership teams and markets and have a mental model for understanding what makes good companies different from extraordinary companies. The best days are where you get to immerse yourself in ideas and data, and discover meaning that you can share.
You know that happy people do their best work and like contributing in a team environment that prizes accountability. You see alignment with our team’s values: be yourself, anchor to optimism, be bold, empower through trust and unleash curiosity.
