Portfolio Manager - Job Description
eVenturing is a London based Accelerator that partners with brands selling on Amazon. Our partnerships have one central objective: grow the valuation of our partners’ brand.
The last decade has seen the rise of e-commerce for consumer goods with Amazon at the centre of this boom. With Amazon annual sales exceeding the GDP of Austria and the world trending digital, the space is booming with business entities using Amazon as their market channel thriving alongside them.
eVenturing is placed right in the beating heart of this new world, straddling the lines of finance, tech, venture capital and entrepreneurship. Our partners range from large multinationals looking to take their operations international on Amazon, through to SMEs looking to develop the equity value of their business online.
We cover end to end within the space and have a wide range of partnership models to cater to founders and companies of all shapes and sizes in the Amazon space. The connecting thread across all our offerings is a performance driven model, whether than be between eVenturing and it's partners, or within the team here itself.
The Story
Our founders have a financial background, as well as many years of hands-on Amazon selling experience. Bridging the gap between finance and e-commerce, we wanted to create an all-encompassing business, one that can work with founders from start to finish, and in 2018, eVenturing was born.
Since its inception, eVenturing has gone from strength to strength. The business has doubled in size year over year with a continuously expanding team of 35. With ambitious targets, this is an exciting time to join a young, fast growing, scaling business within a truly 21st century niche
