Job Title: Portfolio   Analyst Department: Global Growth Rep orts  to: Director Location: London About the Company Future Planet Capital is a global venture firm backing breakthrough companies that  emerge  from the world’s leading universities and research ecosystems to solve humanity’s greatest challenges. Investing at various stages, from Seed to Series C, we back companies solving the issues of our time across climate change, health, education,  security  and sustainable growth. The portfolio  analyst  role sits within our Global Growth team.  We’re  a scrappy team that helped grow Future Planet Capital from a $20m experiment fund into the $500m platform it is today, and  we’re  not finished. We continue in our mission to scale venture and change how it is done: more systematic, more tech-enabled, more straight talking. The role works across The British Co-Investment Fund (BCF), a UK-focused fund backing high-potential founders across the country’s innovation clusters. The Role We’re  hiring a Portfolio  Analyst  to help ensure we continue to run world-class portfolio monitoring and a world-class value-add platform.  You’ll  be at the heart of how we track performance, run valuations and reporting, helping rebuild our tech stack so we stay at the forefront of how GenAI is reshaping VC.  You’ll  also be communicating regularly with founders and key stakeholders in our existing portfolio companies, supporting them as they grow. However, it is important to stress up front that this is not an investment role and is unlikely to ever lead to one.  We’re  looking for someone who finds planning and delivering world-class operations genuinely exciting. As part of this role, you would: • Run portfolio monitoring across multiple FPC funds within the Global Growth strategy.  You’ll  source KPIs, financial performance, and key milestones from our underlying holdings, and  you’ll  help continually refine the systems that keep that data clean, current, and trusted across the firm. • Help run the quarterly valuation cycle: build and  maintain  valuation models, benchmark against comparables, and produce defensible write-ups for the IC and auditors. • Hold regular check-ins with founders and CFOs across our existing portfolio to surface risks, opportunities, and support needs early. • Partner with portfolio companies on follow-on rounds, strategic introductions, and operational challenges where FPC can add value. • Help produce LP-ready portfolio reporting including fund performance summaries, company deep-dives, and thematic updates. • Extend the tech stack that makes  all of  the above scale.  You’ll   leverage  and improve  what’s  there, layering in lightweight tools, dashboards, and automations that replace manual workflows to give the team genuine leverage. Skills & Background • 2–4 years in VC or PE portfolio operations, fintech (e.g. Republic,  Seedrs ,  Crowdcube , Carta), or a tech-forward investment role. • Genuinely loves tech. We want someone who follows  what’s  happening in startups, AI, and fintech for fun, not just work. • Comfortable vibe-coding, prompting LLMs, and using tools like  Airtable , Retool, or lightweight Python/SQL to build systems that  didn’t  exist yesterday. • Strong financial analysis skills. Comfortable building and stress-testing  models, and  forming a view on company performance. • Highly organised across multiple companies and reporting deadlines, with sharp attention to detail. • Confident communicator who can hold their own with founders, CFOs, auditors, and LPs. • Familiarity with VC fund structures, SPVs, or IPEV valuation guidelines is a plus, not a requirement. What  We’re  Looking For • A systems thinker. You see the firm as a set of workflows that can be designed, instrumented, and improved – not a series of one-off tasks.  You’re  happy to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, but  you’re  always looking for the version that scales. • Highly detail-oriented. You catch the inconsistency in a cap table, the typo in an LP report, the figure that  doesn’t  reconcile – before anyone else does. You also spot gaps without being asked, propose a fix, and run with it. We  don’t  want a list-checker; we want an owner. • Brings order to chaos. Multiple companies, conflicting deadlines, half-built systems – you structure it, document it, and ship it rather than waiting for someone else to. • Bias toward action over waiting for perfect information.  You’d  rather make the call, learn, and adjust. • A grafter . Y ou get things done. • Addicted to Claude. You already use Claude, or the like  every day , f or analysis , drafting, building, thinking. You  don’t  need to be told to reach for it. You use AI to multiply output, not replace judgment, and  you’re  excited to push how far we can take it inside a VC. • Low ego, high empathy, and a genuine belief that the team wins or loses together. • Passionate about impact-driven investing and the companies  emerging  from the world’s research ecosystems. Salary and Benefits We offer a competitive salary of £4 5 - 55 k  commensurate  with experience, alongside a discretionary bonus linked to individual and fund performance and in time, participation in the carried interest scheme. Benefits include: • 10 % pension contribution • Private healthcare insurance • 25 days’ annual leave plus public holidays • Hybrid working arrangements • Access to training and professional development opportunities This is a year 2 fixed term year role, reviewed against fund growth and deployment at the 12- and 24-month mark.
