Turn/River applies a proprietary growth engineering strategy to investing in software businesses, partnering with companies to accelerate growth through hands-on operational support.

The ideal candidate holds an undergraduate degree from a top-tier institution and brings 1-3 years of investment banking experience, ideally within a Software or Technology group, or prior growth/private equity experience. Experience with SaaS, software, or subscription businesses is essential, along with strong analytical skills and the ability to manage complex workstreams simultaneously.

The position is based in San Francisco on a hybrid work model, with a base salary of $280,000 to $290,000 annually.
