CTV is seeking an Investment Analyst to join our Santa Monica office. We are a team committed to building an elite fintech venture capital organization—and this position is a central part of our investment team. This is a role with significant day one responsibility and requires an organized, entrepreneurial mind who wants to be challenged and stretched. If you are passionate about technology, a geek for financial services, and take pride in delivering excellence, we want you to join us.

• Sourcing. You will be our boots on the ground in Los Angeles and the broader fintech scene.

• You are an organizational wizard who makes everyone around you better – a lot better.
