We're looking for an Investment Associate to join our Berlin-based investment team.

You'll be involved across the full investment lifecycle, from sourcing and due diligence through to portfolio support.
This is the right role for someone who is intellectually curious, loves meeting founders, and wants to develop into a world-class early-stage investor.

Research & Thesis Development Identify emerging sectors and trends, becoming a subject matter expert in your chosen areas. Develop informed perspectives on where the next generation of breakout companies will emerge.
Due Diligence & Investment Analysis Support the team through the full due diligence process - analysing data, conducting market research, running reference and diligence calls, and writing investment memos that inform our investment decisions.
Portfolio Support Partner with our portfolio companies on their growth journey. This includes attending board meetings, advising on strategic and operational challenges, and supporting founders through subsequent funding rounds.
Firm Building Contribute to Cherry's broader platform and culture. Test your own initiatives, share learnings with the team, and play an active role in growing a world-class early-stage venture capital fund.
Please send your CV for immediate consideration. We value diverse life experiences - all your passions outside the office will be appreciated here.
