About Artha Group

Artha Group is a performance-first investment house managing over ₹1,250 crores (USD 150M+) across venture capital, private equity, and cross-stage capital strategies. Our fund platforms include:

• Artha Venture Fund (AVF): India-focused sector-specific early-stage fund
• Artha Continuum Fund (ACF): Cross-stage investing across India and global markets
• Artha Select Fund: Follow-on capital into top-performing portfolio companies

With 130+ companies backed and 30+ exits, we operate with conviction, founder alignment, and execution speed. Our investors include top Indian family offices and global UHNIs.

Role Overview

We’re hiring one mid-level Associates to lead portfolio execution across ACF. This is not a sourcing-first role. We want someone who’s already managed companies, handled founder complexity, and can turn data into insight—and insight into action.

You will:

• Own 8–12 active portfolio companies, reporting directly to a Principal
• Run KPI tracking, quarterly reviews, and intervention planning
• Lead analysts focused on data quality, financial performance, and board-ready reporting
• Support AOP reviews, follow-on round preparation, and founder-side support
• Help turnaround underperforming companies or flag red flags early

This is a Partner-track role for a portfolio operator, not a pipeline hunter.

What You’ll Lead

Portfolio Oversight & Value Creation

• Lead structured monthly and quarterly reviews across 8–12 active companies
• Track KPIs across revenue, org design, GTM execution, hiring, and cash flow
• Collaborate with founders to build or challenge AOPs and hiring plans
• Flag underperformance early, and recommend interventions to the Principal
• Support downstream rounds—materials, narrative, and investor calibration

Founder Alignment & Support

• Maintain high-touch relationships with founding teams
• Push for accountability without overstepping—own the “trusted challenger” seat
• Act as the first escalation point for operational fire drills
• Navigate difficult founder dynamics with maturity and clarity

Analyst Team Management

• Lead 1–2 analysts in tracking and interpreting portfolio data
• Ensure output is accurate, timely, and IC-ready
• Drive reporting discipline, deadline adherence, and performance visibility

Investment Support & Execution

• Support Principals on live deals: due diligence, benchmarking, IC memos
• Review models, validate AOP assumptions, and identify operational risks pre-investment
• Manage post-deal integration into the portfolio review system

Who You Are

• A buy-side trained portfolio manager, not just a transaction executor
• Strong at handling complexity, ambiguity, and cross-functional founders
• Can turn disorganized startup data into structured insights
• Comfortable leading junior team members, reporting up to Principals, and working cross-border
• Deep understanding of founder psychology, cap tables, burn, and operating leverage

Required Experience

• 3–5 years in venture capital, private equity, or cross-stage fund investing
• Must have managed a portfolio of 5+ companies , including KPI and founder oversight
• Must have supported AOP planning, follow-on fundraising, or company turnarounds
• Must have closed at least 2 investments end-to-end on the buy-side
• MBA or CA required OR strong proof of financial modeling, AOP structuring, and decision-prep ownership
• Experience managing analysts or junior team members in fund settings is a plus

Candidates with only investment banking, transaction advisory, or consulting backgrounds will not be considered.

Compensation Structure

• Total Annual Package: ₹6,50,000
• ,00,000 fixed annual salary
• 25,000 confirmed annual retention bonus (paid every 12 months)
• 25,000 ESOP grant annually (each annual grant comes with its own vesting schedule)
• Performance bonus (based on portfolio success and personal execution)
• Carry participation (disclosed during the final interview stage)

Fixed compensation is non-negotiable . All upside is earned through performance.
