We're Hiring!

FirstMark Capital is an early stage technology venture capital firm based in NYC. FirstMark launched in 2008 to invest behind visionary entrepreneurs who are creating new markets or disrupting old ones with a fresh approach. We take a partnership-driven, long-journey approach and have made our singular goal to ease the frictions for our entrepreneurs as they build large, impactful businesses.

Our current portfolio consists of over 40 companies, including market leaders such as SecondMarket, Pinterest, Knewton, Lot18, Lumosity, and Shopify to younger, emerging companies like Aereo, Tapad, Jirafe, LollyWollyDoodle, NewsCred, Meteor Entertainment and more. We have been fortunate to work with the incredible entrepreneurs at Riot Games (acquired by Tencent), Boomi (acquired by DELL), and SPADAC (acquired by GeoEye). Select historical investments include Duck Creek Technologies (Acquired by Accenture); Netgear (NASDAQ: NTGR); StubHub (Acquired by eBay); Netegrity (Acquired by CA); OutlookSoft (Acquired by SAP); and Navic Networks (Acquired by Microsoft).

Position: Director of Community, FirstMark Capital

Description: The Director of Community (DC) position is a newly created, pivotal position that sits at the intersection of our portfolio companies and the deep institutional relationships of the firm to create maximum impact amongst the portfolio.

Process: We are using TakeTheInterview as our preliminary assessment tool.

Responsibilities:

In addition to the above, the DC is expected to be a participant in and contributor to all existing and new investment related discussions.

The role is a pre-MBA role with a minimum two year commitment. The successful candidate will most likely choose to join a portfolio company or another venture firm, pursue a graduate degree, or potentially start his or her own company following completion of the role. This is a unique opportunity to learn from the triumphs and pitfalls of some of the best entrepreneurs prior to continuing with one's endeavors.
