Clocktower Group is an alternative asset management and advisory firm based in Santa Monica, California, with a presence in London and Shanghai. Our top-down macro framework and relationship-based investing approach inform our strategies and drive the way we do business. In public markets, we seed macro-oriented managers and manage an Asian equity platform. In private markets, we invest in early stage fintech and climate disrupters. We also provide global macro research and advisory services.
Clocktower Ventures
Clocktower Ventures, the venture investing arm within Clocktower Group, partners with phenomenal entrepreneurs who have the vision and drive to innovate across two domains: financial services and climate change. Across these verticals, our stage-agnostic approach offers investment exposure from the earliest stages of company formation all the way to late-stage growth underwriting. The model empowers investors to source and evaluate actionable opportunities across a wide latitude of sectors and stages.
We are seeking a force-of-nature Chief of Staff to support the Partner who leads our venture investing arm. This is not a passive coordinator role; it’s for someone who is outrageously organized, relentless about keeping people and projects on track, and able to “bend reality” to make things happen.
The ideal candidate combines a love of structure and follow-through with an insatiable curiosity about venture capital, startups, and investing. You’ll thrive if you can toggle between the details (schedules, systems, deadlines) and the big picture (strategic initiatives, portfolio growth, firmwide priorities). Above all, you’ll act as a force multiplier for the Partner and team, ensuring our VC platform runs at the highest possible level.
