🙋 Whats in it for you?

You will be a key member of the growth team in Australia’s first student VC fund, differentiating you from any other student coming out of university in Australia. By the end of the year, you would’ve contributed to a generational idea, put a unique experience under your belt, met the most ambitious students in the ecosystem, and potentially have helped identify Australia’s next unicorn 🦄


Our promise to you is that we’ll help you learn and grow at an extremely high rate. We’ll do this by giving you autonomy in your role and by connecting you with mentors you need in order to thrive!

🧠 What you'll be doing

Launch event concepts, themes and agendas that align with our mission and objectives around supporting the next generation of student founders. This may include:


  • Coordinate event logistics and develop scalable processes around things including securing venues, catering, AV equipment and other necessary resources

  • Collaborate within a highly-motivated and friendly team of events directors, marketers & designers to build high-quality promotional plans

  • Plan and manage events, including: hackathons (FoundersHack), pitch competitions, workshops, networking sessions, speaker series, etc.

  • Collect and analyse feedback from attendees and other participants to improve future events

  • Create and execute strategic plans for the expansion and diversification of our events portfolio, taking into account market trends and participant preferences

Requirements

  • You care about these values: taking radical ownership, growing a garden of tall poppies, embracing curiosity, and putting humans first.

  • You are a current student at an Australian university and will graduate end of 2026 or later (all degrees and study fields are welcome ie. PhD, MBA, CompSci, Eng, etc)

  • If selected, you can commit a minimum of 8 hours per week (flexibility with exam season) until the end of 2026 with awesome opportunities to continue in 2027
