Head of Distribution

Who we are

We're OIF Ventures, a Sydney-based venture capital firm investing in Australia's most ambitious founders from Seed to Growth stage. Our portfolio includes some of the country's most exciting startups, and we take a hands-on approach to supporting founders - from hiring and product strategy, go-to-market, fundraising and beyond.

What makes us different? We're small by design, high-conviction in our investments, and deeply embedded in the startup ecosystem. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with founders and partner closely with our LPs - most of whom have followed on with us across every fund.

Now, we're looking for someone to scale our capital engine.

The difference you'll make

This is a senior, high-impact role that sits at the heart of how we grow and engage our investor community.

As Head of Distribution & Investor Relations, you'll drive the strategy and execution of how we raise, engage, and grow our investor base. Working closely with our partners, you'll help us raise $100–150M+ per year across core funds & SPVs (in Australia and offshore), expand into new channels like wealth platforms and private banks, as well as deepen relationships with our 200+ LPs.

Just as importantly, you'll bring scale to how we deliver value to our investors - crafting communications, events, and experiences that match the calibre of our investors, our portfolio and track record.

If you're commercially minded, passionate about venture and the craft of capital raising, and ready to help fuel the next generation of iconic startups and scale-ups in Australia - this is your moment to shape something bold inside one of Australia's most respected venture capital firms.

What you'll do

• Drive capital raising: Lead strategy and execution for fundraising across core funds and co-investment vehicles (~$100–150M/year)
• Expand our network: Identify and cultivate new investor channels - particularly wealth managers and private banks.
• Deepen LP engagement: Build scalable ways to keep our investors informed, engaged, and excited
• Optimise investor journeys: Develop investor onboarding, reporting, and education processes that build trust and long-term partnerships
• Run investor events: Organise and host intimate LP gatherings, summits, and touchpoints that create memorable experiences and deepen alignment
• Share the OIF story: Craft and deliver compelling investor pitches and fund narratives that cut through - underpinned by strong performance metrics
• Own comms & reporting: Collaborate with our investment, finance & legal teams to ensure timely, clear, and high-quality communication and materials for current and prospective LPs
• Support strategic growth: Partner with the broader team on capital planning and market expansion as the function scales

What we're looking for

• 5-10+ years of experience in capital raising, private wealth, fund distribution, and/or investment sales (VC, PE, or private funds)
• Proven ability to raise capital, particularly from HNWIs/family offices and wealth advisor networks
• Deep understanding of the investor mindset and what drives LP decision-making
• Excellent communication and presentation skills - you know how to pitch and build trust
• Highly organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple investor conversations at once
• Good understanding of fund operations, investor due diligence process, and investor servicing workflows from pitch through to close
• Strong commercial instincts and passion for startups, with a genuine interest in VC as an asset class

Nice to haves

• Existing relationships across family offices, private banks, offshore capital (e.g. Singapore, US, Middle East) and institutions
• Familiarity with Fund and SPV structuring and experience working alongside internal teams on fund documentation
• Background in finance, commerce, or economics (or equivalent real-world experience)

Why join us?

Real impact, real results: Join a VC firm with market-leading traction - $700M+ under management, 3x net DPI (7x TVPI) on our first fund, and 95%+ LP follow-on across funds.

High trust, high autonomy: Work directly with Partners in a fast-moving environment. We trust you to own your remit and deliver the best outcomes.

Global reach: Work across local and offshore investor ecosystems - from Australian family offices to Singapore private wealth to private banks and global institutions.

Comp with upside: We know compensation isn't everything - but it matters. We offer a competitive base and performance-based bonus, plus meaningful carry for the right person.

Hybrid & growth-oriented: Enjoy flexibility and work with a highly collaborative team, plus yearly L&D spend and a supportive culture that values both performance and people.
