Job Description

Head of US–Australia Partnerships | Leading APAC VC | Sydney or Melbourne – Hybrid \n

Ghost AI is partnering with one of Australia’s leading venture capital firms on a newly created Head of Network role.

\n

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 .

\n

Now, as the firm expands into the US, they're looking for someone exceptional to build the network function from the ground up .

\n

This isn't a traditional recruiting or BD role.

\n

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 \n

    \n
  • Build the function from scratch — you'll own the network strategy as the firm expands into the US
  • \n
  • Bridge Australia + the US (Bay Area) — quarterly US travel is a core part of the role
  • \n
  • Build relationships with founders, senior operators, and exceptional talent across both ecosystems
  • \n
  • Help portfolio companies solve critical hiring and growth challenges through high-value introductions
  • \n
  • Work at a firm behind some of Australia's most successful tech companies
  • \n
  • Join an AI-native, ~38-person team where everyone is expected to use AI to create leverage
  • \n

The Role \n

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: \n

    \n
  • Get out into the market and build relationships with top founders, operators, and senior talent
  • \n
  • Become a trusted partner to portfolio founders, understanding their needs and making the right introductions at the right time
  • \n
  • Partner with the investment team to identify exceptional operators who could become future founders
  • \n
  • Build the network strategy for the firm's US expansion , initially focusing on GTM talent before expanding further
  • \n
  • Use AI, LLMs, automation, and data to make the network more scalable and effective
  • \n

Who they're looking for You should have: \n

    \n
  • 7+ years of experience in technology, ideally across a high-growth startup or major tech company
  • \n
  • Experience in BD, partnerships, talent, strategy & ops, investing, or a similar broad operator role
  • \n
  • Deep knowledge of either the Australian or US tech ecosystem , with credible familiarity with the other
  • \n
  • A genuine ability to build relationships with senior operators, founders, and investors
  • \n
  • A broad, generalist mindset — you're a connector , not a niche specialist
  • \n
  • Experience building systems to track, manage, and leverage professional networks
  • \n
  • Genuine AI fluency — you actively use LLMs and workflow automation in your day-to-day work
  • \n
  • A Bachelor's degree from an Australian or US university
  • \n
  • Based in Sydney or Melbourne and comfortable travelling to the US quarterly
  • \n

This probably isn't for you if... \n

    \n
  • You're purely a recruiter focused on filling roles
  • \n
  • You prefer managing a team rather than being hands-on
  • \n
  • Your experience is primarily internal-facing with little connection to the tech ecosystem
  • \n
  • You don't already have a meaningful network across founders, operators, or senior talent
  • \n

\n

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.
