Vacancy Investment Manager

About Living Hope VC
Living Hope VC, based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, is a new venture capital firm
with a mission to invest differently. As a faith-driven investor, we center everything
we do around stewardship, aiming to generate redemptive returns in as many ways
as possible. Our focus is on inclusively supporting values-aligned, innovative
companies during their (pre-)seed and growth phases.
We strive to build a supportive community of expectant investors and entrepreneurs
who believe in driving Europe forward through innovative solutions. With an
evergreen fund structure, we provide patient capital without exit pressure, allowing
founders to flourish and focus on creating outstanding products and services.


Our founding general partner, Leen, is a proven entrepreneur who successfully
exited his company after a decade and invested in a lot of startups himself as an
angel investor before he started Living Hope VC. His book, “Building a Startup
Without Going Crazy”, illustrates his people-first approach to entrepreneurship. At
Living Hope VC, we embody this philosophy, standing alongside founders and
providing strategic, operational, and personal support.
We aim to build a portfolio of 100+ promising companies in sectors like health tech,
robotics, clean tech, agri-tech, and education. Starting with an initial fund close of
€5M, we envision rapid growth to €50-100M within the next five years.


About the Position
We are looking for a versatile Investment Manager with 5-10 years of experience in
deal-making, M&A, or other relevant fields. If you are passionate about startups,
scale-ups, technology, traveling Europe and working closely with entrepreneurs,
this role offers a unique opportunity to combine purpose and professional growth.
You will be involved in all aspects of the investment lifecycle, from identifying
opportunities and leading due diligence to monitoring investments and shaping our
investment strategy. You will also play a role on the investor side, assisting with

  • Shape Strategy: Collaborate with the team to develop and implement
    investment strategies that align with Living Hope VC’s vision.
  • Support Fundraising Efforts: Assist in securing new investors, preparing
    reports, and representing Living Hope VC to stakeholders.
    About You
  • Having an active, personal faith integration in everything you do.
  • 5-10 years of relevant experience in investments, deal-making, or M&A.
  • Curious and persistent, you ask the right questions at the right time.
  • An optimizer by nature, embracing new tools and methods to improve
    outcomes.
  • Analytical and detail-oriented, but you value people over numbers.
  • A pragmatic decision-maker with a focus on what truly matters.
  • Entrepreneurial at heart, thriving in dynamic and fast-moving environments.
    What We Offer
  • A share in the carried interest of the fund alongside base salary.
