Head of International Expansion

LEVA is building a cutting-edge software ecosystem for private markets, integrating essential services such as legal, financial, and tax accounting within a single operating system. Our mission is to improve the efficiency of the private markets which have not experienced innovation in the past 30 years and are still full of outdated processes. The venture capital industry is where we started, working with leading venture capital firms, family offices, asset management firms and emerging managers, but 2025 is a transformative year when we will expand to multiple new asset classes.

At LEVA we are building the tools for a new breed of investors that they need to fund the winners of tomorrow. If you are eager to be part of this change, join a fast-growing and innovative young company and be part of the next growth phase.
