Access Venture Partners is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Denver, CO. Founded in 1999, we have built a track record for investing in some of Colorado's leading software companies. Our core team of 6 includes three general partners, two investment principals, and an office managers. For more about us check out our website - https://accessvp.com/team/.

We are looking for a high-energy individual to join our team as a Community Marketing Associate. This individual will be a driving force for maximizing the impact of our network, engaging the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and building the Access brand.

Our network is our most strategic asset that we constantly nurture and grow through our interactions with entrepreneurs, customers, investors, and through community initiatives. We leverage our network to source investment opportunities, research and diligence those opportunities, recruit talent to our portfolio companies, and raise funds for the portfolio and Access itself.

Your role will be to work with the team to define, coordinate, and execute a strategy to engage our network and the broader community in a way that extends our impact and creates value for those we interact with.

This role is perfect for someone earlier in their career who is hungry to learn and get involved in the venture and startup community. This is a two-year role with potential for extension. Following this opportunity, future career paths could include progressing in venture outside of Access or joining a startup.

Some specific responsibilities will include:

Act as an ambassador for Access
Grow and manage relationships with our Access network
Manage our contact database
Reach out and set appointments with new prospects (founders, investors, partners)
Coordinate the creation and distribution of monthly newsletter updates
Effectively use technology to execute a direct messaging effort to founders, investors, etc. that we want to bring into our network
Manage our digital presence and extend the Access brand
Coordinate the updating of our website
Write engaging blog content
Maintain and manage the Access brand on social media platforms
Coordinate with our portfolio companies to distribute and amplify their marketing and recruiting messages through social media and direct email to our contact database
Organize monthly events, workshops, dinners and other social gatherings with curated groups of entrepreneurs, executives, investors and other thought leaders
Help define and execute a strategy for network building

This role is for you if:

You are based in the Greater Denver Area (and willing to travel as needed)
You have worked in a startup or other entrepreneurial organization and are comfortable operating in a relatively unstructured environment
You are interested in technology and comfortable evaluating and applying innovative tools in your work
You are comfortable and competent at managing a large contact database
You are comfortable cold-calling prospects
You are meticulous and detail-oriented and can handle multi-tasking
You have the self-confidence to communicate effectively with senior executives
You enjoy writing and have experience with developing compelling content
You are a connector and thrive on networking and engaging with people
You believe that who you know is as important as what you know
You love to throw a great party
You are bold and can operate independently and take the initiative to implement things from scratch with limited direction

This role is not:

An investment role. You may work with the investors on top of funnel process and operations, but will not be responsible for sourcing or evaluating companies.
A backfill. You won’t have a handbook to follow - we’re looking for a driven individual willing to develop new processes to push our entire team and portfolio forward.
