Senior Manager, Ventures Portfolio Management & Strategy
Prosus Group
Who We Are
Prosus is a leading global consumer internet company and one of the largest technology investors in the world, present in over 100 countries with a portfolio of 90+ companies. Through Prosus Ventures, our dedicated venture arm, we invest in early-stage technology companies across the globe -- not just with capital, but with the full weight of our ecosystem: our operating companies, our networks, and our people.
We are builders and operators at heart. We know first-hand what it takes to scale a technology company in a complex, fast-moving world, and we leverage that experience to be the most valuable partner our founders can have. Our core values -- Innovation, Results, People, Impact, and Entrepreneurship -- are not aspirations; they are the standard we hold ourselves to every day.
The Opportunity
As Senior Manager, Ventures Portfolio Management, you will be the connective tissue between Prosus Ventures' portfolio companies and the broader Prosus ecosystem. This is a hands-on managerial role that sits at the intersection of venture portfolio oversight, strategic investment thinking, and deep operational partnership with founders.
You will lead a team of two Associates and report to the Ventures CFO. Your mandate is to ensure that every portfolio company has access to the insight, support, and strategic direction they need to thrive -- while keeping Prosus Ventures' investment strategy sharp, forward-looking, and grounded in technological reality.
Who You Are
An early-stage founder or product leadership background -- you have an entrepreneurial mindset and have built a product or have been instrumental in scaling one.
Deep empathy for founders and a first-hand understanding of the challenges of building technology-driven businesses.
Experience in venture capital, portfolio management, or a strategic investment within the technology sector.
Proven ability to lead and develop a team, with at least 2+ years of direct people management experience.
Strong analytical skills with the ability to assess portfolio performance, identify trends, and translate data into strategic insights.
Excellent communication and storytelling skills -- you can distill complex information into clear, compelling narratives for diverse audiences.
A genuine interest in technology trends and the ability to translate technological advancement into investment and strategic implications.
You have built something. You know what it feels like to face product-market fit challenges, to make difficult resource decisions with incomplete information, and to rally a team around a vision when the path is anything but clear. That lived experience is the foundation of everything you do as an investor and a partner.
You lead with empathy and intellectual rigour in equal measure. You are a strategic thinker who is equally comfortable diving into the operational details of a portfolio company as you are presenting strategic insights to senior leadership. You do not wait to be asked -- you proactively identify where you can add value, and you follow through.
You are a builder of relationships and a trusted advisor. Founders want you in their corner. Colleagues want you at the table. You are low-ego, highly collaborative, and deeply motivated by the success of the companies and people you work with.
