Get a person's jobs, board roles and education
View all Crunchbase Company & Investment Data endpoints →Look up a person's documented current and past jobs, board and advisory roles, and education. Supply the required person parameter as a Crunchbase person permalink, UUID or person-profile URL. The optional kind parameter accepts current, past, board or all and defaults to all. No page parameter or education-specific kind value is documented for this operation. No endpoint-specific live response is available in the supplied evidence. An unverified documentation example contains person, kind, counts, current_jobs, past_jobs, board_and_advisor_roles and education. The person object contains id, image, link, name, type and uuid. The counts object contains current, current_advisor, past and past_advisor; past and past_advisor are null in the example, while past_jobs is an empty array. Populated current_jobs and board_and_advisor_roles records contain id, title and a company reference with id, image, link, name, type and uuid. They also include started_on, ended_on, started_on_precision, ended_on_precision, featured_order, is_current, job_type and person. The example contains string start dates and precision values for current jobs, but many other role fields, including is_current and job_type, are null. Do not assume that every role has dates or an explicit status. Education records in the example contain id, subject, school, degree, started_on, completed_on and is_completed. School references contain id, image, link, name, type and uuid; degree, education dates and is_completed are null in the example. These are documented example fields, not a confirmed runtime schema or a complete employment or education record. Use the available affiliations for professional-background research, not identity verification or proof that a degree was completed.

Use Cases
- Assemble a founder's professional timeline from listed current and past company roles, leaving unknown dates unresolved.
- Distinguish employee affiliations from board seats and advisory relationships during executive due diligence.
- Build an executive-background panel that links job titles to referenced companies and education entries to schools.
- Prepare a recruiting research brief that keeps listed education subjects separate from unconfirmed degrees or completion status.
Frequently asked questions
Which identifier is required for a jobs lookup?
Use a Crunchbase person permalink such as patrick-collison, a person UUID or a crunchbase.com/person/ profile URL in person. A display name alone is not a documented identifier format.
What can I select with kind?
The documented values are current, past, board and all. If kind is omitted, the documented default is all. There is no documented education-only kind; do not add education as a filter value.
Does this endpoint support page numbers?
No page parameter is documented for the jobs operation. Use person and, optionally, kind; the paginated event and investment operations have separate contracts.
How are board and advisor roles represented?
The unverified example places those affiliations in board_and_advisor_roles, separate from current_jobs and past_jobs. Populated role entries include a title and company reference, but job_type and is_current are null in the example, so do not rely on those fields as guaranteed role labels or status flags.
Can I treat missing career counts or dates as zero or complete dates?
No. The example contains null past and past_advisor counts, an empty past_jobs array, and several null role dates and precision fields. Preserve unknown values rather than converting them into verified zero totals or inventing a start or end date.
Does an education entry prove that a degree was completed?
No. The example includes school references and subject, but degree, started_on, completed_on and is_completed are null. This endpoint provides background-research data, not proof of qualifications or identity.
Has the jobs response been live-verified?
No endpoint-specific live response is available in the supplied evidence. The listed response fields come from an unverified documentation example and do not guarantee complete or current employment, board or education coverage.
