Head of US–Australia Partnerships | Leading APAC VC | Sydney or Melbourne – Hybrid Ghost AI is partnering with

one of Australia’s leading venture capital firms

on a newly created

Head of Network

role.

Founded in Australia in 2012, the firm has grown into a

$4.6B+ AUM investment platform

backing exceptional founders across APAC — including

Canva, Airwallex, and Rokt .

Now, as the firm expands into the US, they're looking for someone exceptional to

build the network function from the ground up .

This isn't a traditional recruiting or BD role.

You'll own the strategy for how the firm builds, maps, and activates relationships across the Australian and US tech ecosystems — turning individual relationships into a compounding firm-wide advantage.

Why this is exciting

Build the function from scratch

— you'll own the network strategy as the firm expands into the US

Bridge Australia + the US (Bay Area)

— quarterly US travel is a core part of the role

Build relationships with

founders, senior operators, and exceptional talent

across both ecosystems

Help portfolio companies solve critical hiring and growth challenges through high-value introductions

Work at a firm behind some of Australia's most successful tech companies

Join an

AI-native, ~38-person team

where everyone is expected to use AI to create leverage

The Role As Head of Network, you'll build the systems, relationships, and strategy that make the firm's network a

compounding asset for the entire firm .

You'll:

Get out into the market and build relationships with

top founders, operators, and senior talent

Become a trusted partner to portfolio founders,



understanding their needs and making the right introductions at the right time

Partner with the investment team to identify exceptional operators who could become

future founders

Build the network strategy for the firm's

US expansion , initially focusing on GTM talent before expanding further

Use AI, LLMs, automation, and data to make the network more scalable and effective

Who they're looking for You should have:

7+ years of experience

in technology, ideally across a high-growth startup or major tech company

Experience in

BD, partnerships, talent, strategy & ops, investing, or a similar broad operator role

Deep knowledge of either the

Australian or US tech ecosystem , with credible familiarity with the other

A genuine ability to build relationships with

senior operators, founders, and investors

A broad, generalist mindset — you're a

connector , not a niche specialist

Experience building systems to

track, manage, and leverage qualified networks

Genuine AI fluency — you actively use

LLMs and workflow automation

in your day-to-day work

A Bachelor's degree from an Australian or US university

Based in

Sydney or Melbourne

and comfortable travelling to the US quarterly

This probably isn't for you if...

You're purely a

recruiter

focused on filling roles

You prefer managing a team rather than being

hands-on

Your experience is primarily internal-facing with little connection to the tech ecosystem

You don't already have a meaningful network across founders, operators, or senior talent

If you're the person people call when they need to know who the best operators are, where the next great founders are coming from, or who they should meet next — this could be a very special opportunity.
