Diagram Ventures is a venture builder and early-stage investor focused on Fintech and Climate Tech. Since 2016, the firm has raised over $480M and launched or invested in approximately 50 companies. Diagram is part of Sagard, a global multi-strategy alternative investment platform with over US$46B in AUM.
You will serve as Chief of Staff to Amélie Foz-Couture, General Partner, acting as a force multiplier by driving strategic initiatives, enabling focus on key priorities, and ensuring operational excellence. This is a 2-year mandate with significant growth potential and a path to expand into other roles within the Diagram or Sagard ecosystem.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading end-to-end special projects and strategic initiatives, including building business cases, investor decks, and presentations that drive decision-making
- Collaborating cross-functionally and externally to ensure buy-in and execution follow-through
- Supporting fundraising processes end-to-end in collaboration with Investor Relations and Legal
- Supporting the GP's day-to-day communications and priority management (email drafting, calendar management, follow-ups)
- Owning the GP's relationship-building and management strategy with founders, investors, and the broader ecosystem
- Leading Diagram's OKR and quarterly budget tracking process, owning the cadence and quality of leadership meetings
- Preparing and running quarterly team off-sites and contributing to culture building
- Tracking and maintaining key data (CRM) and driving process optimization, automation, and AI integration
- Documenting and continuously improving Chief of Staff systems and processes, eventually helping recruit and train your successor
This is an execution-first role requiring minimal oversight after a ramp period. You should be comfortable taking ownership end-to-end, making judgment calls, and reporting back with resolved outputs. A can-do, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude is essential.
The firm offers a high-impact seat working directly alongside leadership, broad exposure across fundraising, strategy, and operations, a team of accomplished and supportive individuals, competitive compensation, and beautiful offices in Montreal and Toronto.
Requirements:
- Track record of outstanding performance
- Demonstrated organizational rigor
- Self-starter mentality with high degree of ownership; comfortable operating with minimal oversight
- 2-3 years of experience in relevant fields: management consulting, investment banking or private equity, business operations, fundraising or investor relations
- Strong communication skills, particularly written, with ability to produce high-quality deliverables
- Excellent analytical skills and comfort getting into the substance of work, not just managing process
- Familiarity and excitement around leveraging AI and automation tools to improve workflows
- Business or related degree, or familiarity with core business concepts (finance, accounting, etc.)
