• This position requires extensive knowledge in gaming investments and deal-making to enhance the Investor and Startup Programme framework.

• The main objective is to develop investment programs and deal-making initiatives that establish Gaming events as the premier investment occasion within the global gaming calendar.

• Create investment programs and deal-making formats for the gaming conference that draw in international investors, publishers, and funds, setting a global benchmark for capital-meets-talent events.

• Establish and manage the gaming investor pipeline from the ground up, identifying gaming VCs, publisher venture divisions, sovereign funds with gaming mandates, angel networks, and accelerator programs, while executing targeted outreach.

• Oversee the investor application and vetting process, confirming fund credentials, alignment with investment theses, and genuine interest in engaging with gaming studios and founders.

• Keep accurate and current records of investors in internal management tools, documenting fund details, investment theses, meeting histories, and post-event feedback.

• Track KPIs for the investor program across assigned events, including investor count, AUM represented, meetings held, investment signals generated, and investor NPS.

• Conduct post-event debriefs with investors, gather feedback, and share suggestions for improvements with the program lead.

• Maintain and cultivate investor relationships throughout the year, ensuring that warm connections continue into future editions.

• Generate innovative ideas for value-driven investor program features and lead the development of concept notes for future events.
