[Hiring] Advisor - Investor Relations @Viva Benefits

Role Description

We are entering a focused fundraising phase and are looking for an Advisor — Investor Relations to help us re-engage our existing investor network, build a new pipeline of aligned seed investors (VCs + Angels welcome), and drive a consistent cadence of high-quality investor meetings. This includes measuring our conversion rates and progress toward our fundraising goals.

This is a highly execution-oriented role for someone who has done this before — who understands the mechanics, psychology, and operational discipline required to support an early-stage raise.

During the interview process you will propose items to include in a paid 2-week sprint which will constitute the final hiring “experience” – where you can both deliver immediate value and outcomes (e.g., by the end of your first day) as well as assess the ongoing needs of the Investor Relations process and our CRM (HubSpot), and propose a broader plan of action and improvement – a 30/60/90 day plan you will present after you conclude the 2-week sprint.

Qualifications

• Direct experience supporting or leading pre-seed and/or seed fundraising (multiple times with references)
• Well-networked with angels, micro-VCs, and early-stage funds
• Strong operational instincts; you naturally bring order to messy processes
• Experience working inside HubSpot CRM
• High follow-through and responsiveness
• Willingness to do real execution work—not just strategy

Requirements

• Convert outbound and intro-based engagement into 8+ meetings per week
• Schedule and manage pre-meeting preparation, post-meeting debriefs, and clear, timely follow-ups
• Reduce friction and cognitive load for the CEO wherever possible
• Willing and comfortable using calls and texts (when appropriate) to prompt introductions, nudge scheduling, and maintain momentum

Benefits

• Flexible schedule, with responsiveness during business hours as needed
• Minimum commitment: 10 hours per week
• Ceiling negotiable based on impact and availability
• Compensation: $25–$50/hour, commensurate with experience
• Opportunity to revisit scope and compensation based on performance and fundraising progress

Company Description

If you have helped founders successfully navigate early-stage fundraising and enjoy turning warm networks into real momentum, we’d love to hear from you. This is an opportunity to make an immediate, visible impact at a pivotal moment for a mission-driven company scaling fast.
