- Strong network and relationship-building capability
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a bias toward action
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and helping build systems from the ground up

Compensation Structure
This role is structured around a phased “build-and-own” model:

- Flexible structure designed for entrepreneurial operators rather than traditional employees
Bonvalet is building a faster, more applied model for strategic advisory and institutional engagement. We are looking for builders — not spectators.
