Job Description

At Unreasonable, we believe entrepreneurs building rapidly scalable businesses are our best bet for solving the most significant social and environmental challenges of our time. Every day, our team strives to give the entrepreneurs we work with an unfair advantage. We do this by connecting entrepreneurs with the networks of mentors, investors, business leaders, and policy makers they need to scale their businesses. Today, the over 160 CEO’s in the Unreasonable Fellowship have raised more than $3.5B in financing, generated more than $2.6B in revenue, and are measurably impacting the lives of more than 350 million individuals in nearly every country and territory worldwide.

We are now searching for a Manager of our Asia Pacific Community (“Manager”). The Manager will serve as the Relationship Manager for all of Unreasonable’s Asia Pacific-based (APAC) entrepreneurs across our fellowship and oversee the region as a whole understanding the general ecosystem across ventures, funders, partners, and influencers. In addition, the Manager will support across APAC entrepreneur selection, regional investor relations management, as well as pre-programme onboarding and support when applicable. The Manager will report directly to our Director of Global Community and work closely with our Director of Investor Relations as well as the broader Venture Selection Team. This is an exciting, multifaceted role balancing a number of dynamics and responsibilities. This position is based in London, England but will require significant international travel to APAC - if that excites you, you should keep reading =)
