Account Manager - Portfolio

About Droplight

DROPLiGHT is a venture studio for the new creator economy. We are a cultural engine that builds brands, accelerates founders, and connects the worlds of racing, culture, and innovation under one pulse. We back the relentless and the risk-takers, acting as the "pit crew" for founders to fuel ambition and accelerate vision.

The Role

This isn’t a normal job posting. We aren’t looking for a passenger; we need someone ready to get into the arena. As an Account Manager, you will serve as the operational extension across DROPLiGHT’s portfolio companies, working directly alongside the VP of Strategic Operations.

You will function as a "roving resource," embedded within portfolio companies to drive execution, build scalable processes, and ensure every founder has the tactical support they need to grow. You are the connective tissue between our high-level venture strategy and day-to-day execution.

What You Will Own

You will be responsible for driving results across several key pillars:

• Portfolio Operations: Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned companies, identifying bottlenecks and building Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) from scratch.
• Strategic & Analytical Support: Build financial models, conduct market research on acquisition targets, and synthesize data into actionable recommendations for leadership.
• AI & Technology Integration: Proactively identify and implement AI-powered tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Zapier, Make) to automate reporting and 10x operational output.
• Project Management: Manage multiple concurrent projects across different companies, tracking deliverables and identifying "fires" before they start.
• Stakeholder Communication: Facilitate alignment between DROPLiGHT’s vision and founder execution through regular status updates and professional representation.

What You Bring

• Relentless Resourcefulness: You don't wait for instructions. You are a "solution engine" who figures things out via AI, research, or sheer resolve.
• AI-Native Mindset: You already use AI daily and view manual processes as opportunities for automation.
• High-Performance Track Record: A history of performing under pressure—whether in athletics, startups, military service, or consulting.
• Sharp Communication: Strong written and verbal skills with the ability to simplify complex ideas for founders and stakeholders.
• Financial Literacy: Comfort with ambiguity and a solid understanding of P&Ls or financial modeling.
• Educational Background: A Bachelor’s degree or equivalent real-world experience that "speaks louder".

Why Droplight

We offer a front-row seat to brand building and deal-making. You will receive mentorship from experienced operators and own significant projects from day one. This role is a launchpad designed for rapid upward mobility; as the portfolio scales, you are expected to grow into a senior leadership position.
