Associate

Three years ago we had a thesis: the best returns are shaped by emerging managers, and nobody had built the machine to find them first. So we built it. We see roughly 80% of new fund managers globally, back the top 3%, and anchor them with day-one capital.
Now the machine needs a second builder. We're hiring one Associate, Growth & Intelligence, to build with our existing AI automation lead Oliver: more of our internal processes on autopilot, training our proprietary AI Ori deeper into what we do and how we work, and accelerating fundraising operations running faster and smoother. You'll work hand in hand with Oliver, the IR team, and directly with the founders.
Who we are
Allocator One is the AI-first asset manager for emerging fund managers in private markets. Markets are moving from generalists to specialists, and durable alpha is formed upstream, before the opportunity becomes consensus. Our job is to find it first. We anchor the top 3% of emerging managers and give our LPs day-one access, backed by the largest deal flow in the category. The team is small by design. We build our own tools, including Ori, and we expect you to do the same.
Tasks
This is not a support role that inherits a process. You'll rewrite ours. Every workflow you automate and every capability you add to Ori compounds across the firm, from the IR desk to the platform our investors log into, we move faster every week because of what you built.
General responsibilities:
* Map how we actually work, find what can be automated, and build the agents that do it. You don't do the busywork. You build the AI that eats it.
* Make Ori smarter and more useful: new capabilities, better context, and deeper integration into our daily workflows and the Infra One platform.
* Streamline the processes behind our investor relations team, so every LP touchpoint is faster, cleaner, and more consistent.
* Turn our data, from the largest deal flow in the category, into intelligence the team and our LPs can act on.
* Work alongside the IR team on LP relationships: onboarding, due diligence, follow-ups.
Requirements
Your skills and qualifications:
* You've shipped things without being asked twice. Titles matter less than proof.
* Genuine fluency with AI tools, including prompt and context engineering, and a track record of using them to automate real work. Experience in machine learning is a plus.
* A systems mind: you see a messy process and can't help redesigning it.
* Process-driven, with a low tolerance for stale or inaccurate data.
* Comfortable with fund numbers and investor conversations, and curious about venture and private markets.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
* Fluent in English; German is a nice-to-have.
One thing to know before you apply: we don't build what we build without giving it all. If that excites you, keep reading. If it scares you, all good, not for you.
Benefits
* Full-time, in-office in London, with travel for summits and LP/GP events.
* Competitive base salary.
* A fast track to a lead role based on performance.
* Direct exposure to the founders and every major decision across the business.
* A front-row seat to the emerging fund manager ecosystem, the future of venture capital.
* From London to San Francisco to Singapore: help host our global Alpha Summits, where the guest list reads like a news feed, and meet the people shaping global private markets.
