We're now looking for a full-time Investment Analyst to join our dynamic team. If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-impact environment and are passionate about shaping Europe’s next generation of category-defining startups, we want to hear from you.

Founded in 1997, Earlybird backs exceptional early-stage companies across Europe - supporting them with capital, strategic guidance, and access to a global network. Our platform includes dedicated strategies for tech and health, a Growth Opportunity Fund for follow-ons, and a pro-bono initiative, Vision Lab. With €2.5 billion under management and a track record of 9 IPOs and 35 trade sales, Earlybird is one of Europe’s most established venture capital firms.

As an Analyst at Earlybird, you will be an integral part of our investment process, with growing autonomy and influence:

• Deal Execution & Due Diligence: Contribute to all stages of the investment lifecycle - from sourcing to decision-making - and lead analytical workstreams during due diligence, especially in financial, market, and competitive assessments.

• Research & Thematic Ownership: Start to develop profound expertise in one of our core investment areas (e.g. Enterprise Software, Fintech & Deeptech.), owning thematic research and helping identify future unicorn opportunities.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain high-trust relationships with founders, domain experts, and co-investors. Your communication and people skills will enable you to gain access and add value in every interaction.

• Ecosystem Mapping & Network Building: Actively develop your network across the European startup ecosystem - tracking emerging talent, attending events, and building rapport with founders even before they start companies.

• Portfolio Support: Collaborate with our portfolio companies on strategic projects, research requests, or ecosystem introductions.

You’re curious, analytical, ambitious - and eager to grow into a future investor. We’re looking for someone with:

• Academic Background: Outstanding academic record with a completed Bachelor’s degree and preferably a Master’s degree in any field - from Business and Economics to Engineering or Political Science.

• Relevant Work Experience: You’ve already gained practical, high-exposure experience through internships or full-time roles in consulting, venture capital, private equity, investment banking, or fast-paced startup environments. You’ve worked on strategic analyses, transactions, or business building, and are ready to bring those skills into a VC context.

• Investment-Ready Mindset: Solid grasp of market dynamics, business models, and financial logic. You're able to assess opportunities with both rigor and intuition.

• Analytical Strength: You’re fluent in Excel, frameworks, and logic. You know how to structure problems and communicate insights clearly - whether in memos or decks.

• People & Project Skills: You work well across functions, manage multiple deadlines, and bring a collaborative, solution-oriented approach to everything you do.

• Venture Curiosity: You bring a demonstrable passion for startups, technology, and innovation - and ideally have taken first steps to engage with the ecosystem (internships, scouting, side projects).

• Language & Location: Fluent in English, with full work authorization in either Germany or the UK. We expect you to be based in either Munich, Berlin or London.
