About The Role

We are only accepting Spring 2026 college graduates at this time.

We are looking for driven individuals with an interest in tech and finance to join Turn/River’s growing Investment & Sourcing Team. Deal identification and sourcing is an increasingly important function as we look for strategic investment opportunities. After building a strong foundation in sourcing, for exceptional individuals there is an opportunity to grow into partner-track investing or operating roles.

As an investor, Turn/River provides strategic operational expertise and executional support to our portfolio investments. Many of our team members come from operational backgrounds and focus on various aspects of digital marketing, sales, and account management in our portfolio companies. In this role, you will be expected to exercise strategic insight to identify and qualify B2B software businesses based on their financial profiles, as well as by the potential operational improvements we can execute as a firm with our proprietary go-to-market playbooks. You’ll speak directly with CEOs of software companies, learning how to grow software companies with modern strategies.

Successful candidates will often have experience in finance, B2B software businesses, and/or business development. Finance experience isn’t a prerequisite - rather we’re looking for a strong interest and passion for investing. Ideal candidates will take pride in sharing the Turn/River experience with prospective companies and presenting these findings to our senior investment team. They will have high energy, provide thoughtful insights, excel in prioritization, and take creative approaches to identifying and getting in front of top prospects.
