At Endeavor, we back the founders who will define the next decade of Ukraine's economy – not incrementally, and not from the sidelines.
This is the role at the center of that work. You'll own a portfolio of Endeavor Entrepreneurs as their trusted advisor and strategic partner.
You'll know their businesses cold – the model, the growth levers, the bottlenecks – and you'll bring the full weight of a 3,000-entrepreneur, 50-market network to bear on their hardest problems, whether that's a Series C raise, a US market entry or a pricing overhaul.
Success here isn't measured in activity. It's measured in the trust founders place in you and the outcomes you help them reach. We're looking for someone with real business firepower – the kind of person who has spent years in top-tier consulting, VC, PE, or a senior operating seat, and who can be a genuine thought partner to a unicorn founder rather than a note-taker.
Location: Kyiv, Ukraine (hybrid)
Employment type: Full-time

We move fast and we're clear at every step, because good people have options and a foggy process tells them the wrong thing about us. Here's what to expect along the way:
Conversations with both our local team and the wider Endeavor network – because this role plugs into a community that spans 50 markets, and we want you to feel that from the start
Interviews conducted in both Ukrainian and English
A practical task – a real slice of the job – followed by a feedback
A clear decision, and hopefully an offer
Throughout, expect to always know where you stand: every applicant hears back within several working days.
We set the bar high and we won't extend an offer until we're confident we've found the right person. The founders you'll support expect a lot of us, and the process is our first chance to show you we hold ourselves to the same standard.
A front-row seat. Direct exposure to Ukraine's fastest-growing technology companies, from the inside
Real relationships, not networking. Hands-on experience evaluating high-growth companies alongside experienced operators and investors
A network most people spend a career trying to access. 50 markets, thousands of founders, investors and mentors – yours to activate on day one.
Rooms full of people worth learning from. Direct exposure to world-class business leaders, investors, and thought leaders – not from a stage, but across the table.
Investment in you, not just your output. Professional development through Endeavor's international retreats and training programs.
International exposure through Endeavor's global events and programs
Pay that reflects the weight of the role
Health insurance.
24 paid vacation days.
Flexible, hybrid work from our Kyiv office – because presence here is part of doing this job well.
Work that matters, with people who mean it. A mission-driven team building something real for Ukraine's future
This is a fast-moving, high-ownership role. We're ambitious, we hold ourselves to a high standard, and the pipeline you help build directly shapes who Endeavor backs next. That's exactly what makes the work meaningful, and it means we're looking for someone who leans into that pace rather than away from it.
If this role speaks to you and you're ready to give it your best, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now – we can't wait to meet you.
A reminder: exceptional recent graduates with strong analytical ability are encouraged to apply.
Being based in Kyiv matters for this role. We're flexible on working hours and don't expect daily office presence, but this one is a firm requirement: we can only consider candidates already based in Kyiv or planning to relocate here.
We don't just write our values down, we live by them. Every hire, every decision, every hard call gets measured against them. We're looking for someone who embodies…
Entrepreneur First: You are someone who passionately believes in the power of high-impact entrepreneurs to change the world for the better. You care about our mission
Go Big: You are someone whose curiosity drives them to dream (and execute!) big. You are a self-starter, who will roll up your sleeves to take our office to the next level
Network of Trust: You are someone who can naturally build trust with anybody, from CTOs of cutting-edge startups to CEOs of established ventures
Pay It Forward: You are someone with a service-oriented attitude, who asks “What can I do?” before asking “What can I get?”
One Endeavor: You are someone who thrives on working with colleagues in over 30 different countries around the world. You are collaborative and a bridge builder
Always Agile: You are someone who understands that it's the planning, not the plans, that matter and therefore isn't deterred by pivots or evolutions
Endeavor is the leading global community of High-Impact Entrepreneurs in underserved markets. Together, we create a Multiplier Effect by inspiring them to dream bigger, supporting and investing in them to scale faster, and providing a platform to pay it forward. Today, Endeavor operates in 45+ countries and has helped over 2,900 entrepreneurs in their journeys to scale.
