We are looking for an experienced venture builder, founder, operator, strategist, or business leader who can turn promising opportunities into real businesses.

What you’ll do:

• Own the strategy and venture pipeline at QuantumX Ventures
• Identify and evaluate problems, markets and technologies with venture potential
• Lead selected opportunities from validation through venture launch
• Develop business models, market strategies and initial operating plans
• Work closely with researchers, engineers, founders and operators
• Help identify and build the right founding team for each venture

• Support early ventures through product validation, customer development and initial growth
• Build relationships with founders, industry experts, investors and strategic partners
• Track venture progress against clear milestones

What you have:

• 2+ years of experience in venture building, startups, strategy, corporate innovation, business development or a similar role
• Demonstrated experience building, launching or scaling a venture, business unit or startup initiative
• Strong understanding of market assessment and business model development
• Strong commercial and analytical thinking
• Ability to work across technical and business teams
• Experience working with founders or senior leadership
• Strong ownership and ability to operate independently
• Experience in deep tech, quantum, AI or emerging technology is a plus

Why you’ll love it:

• Build multiple companies instead of working on a single business
• Work at the intersection of quantum technology, research and entrepreneurship
• Work directly with founders, researchers and technical teams
• Help decide what QuantumX builds
• Take ventures from early opportunity to real businesses
• Help shape QuantumX's venture creation process as it grows

Who we are:

QuantumX Ventures is a quantum-focused venture studio building and scaling companies in quantum technology. We identify opportunities, validate them, build products, and bring together founders, researchers and operators to turn them into ventures.

QuantumX School develops quantum talent through cohorts, learning programs, workshops and hands-on technical initiatives.
