Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa CAnnection Full time R120 000 - R180 000 per year

VP of Finance & Operations – Venture Capital | Cape Town | Remote

CAnnection has partnered with a UK based VC firm that's rethinking how venture capital is done. They back exceptional founders early — people with bold ideas and the grit to tackle tough problems. Their approach is intentionally hands-on: they act as an in-house VC partner, offering network, insight, and genuine collaboration rather than just capital.

Their belief is simple: small funds can do big things when they focus on trust, transparency, and deep partnerships with founders. It's an ambitious, values-driven team with a clear mission to build one of the best small funds in Europe.

My client is now looking for their first
VP of Finance & Operations
— someone to be the operational and financial backbone of the business, and a key driving force as they scale.

You'll take full ownership of finance and operations, from fund reporting and compliance to running internal processes and supporting data-driven portfolio decisions. This is a senior role with meaningful upside, working directly with the Founder & General Partner to shape how the firm runs and grows.

You'll be involved in:

  • Overseeing the fund model — budgeting, cash flow, and forecasting.
  • Managing fund accounting, audits, tax, and compliance.
  • Providing liquidity insights and analysis to support portfolio decisions.
  • Overseeing entity management and keeping everything running efficiently.
  • Managing treasury, banking, FCA compliance, and key stakeholder relationships.
  • Coordinating deal execution from end to end.
  • Supporting portfolio financial functions and fundraising processes.
  • Supporting LP reporting and fundraising strategy for future funds.

What we're looking for:

  • Qualified CA(SA)
  • 3+ years in a top-tier accounting firm (Big Four or similar) plus 2+ years in venture capital, private equity, or a high-growth startup environment.
  • Strong comfort with audit processes, compliance, and fund administration.
  • Excellent judgement and communication skills — able to distil complexity and influence decisions.
  • A high-performance finance leader with a founder's mindset
    .

What's in it for you:

  • Competitive compensation.
  • A fast-paced, ambitious but human environment
    — offering unparalleled learning and growth.
  • Action:
    direct exposure to Europe's top founders and the world's best LPs.
  • A high-impact role:
    you'll be the business's engine, defining how the firm scales and operates while shaping its fund strategy.
