YOU HAVE: * 2–5 years of relevant experience in private equity, venture capital, private funds, fund administration, or investment operations. * Experience supporting middle- or back-office operations for private investment funds, with exposure to distributions, capital activity, treasury/payments, investor operations, or similar fund life-cycle activities. * A working understanding of private fund structures and the operational relationship between funds, investors, portfolio investments, and fund administrators. * Experience working with high-volume, detail-oriented operational processes where accuracy, controls, and deadlines are critical. * Strong attention to detail and the ability to review financial and operational data, identify inconsistencies, and investigate discrepancies. * Strong written and verbal communication skills, including communicating issues clearly, escalating appropriately, and keeping stakeholders aligned. * Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills and comfort working with financial data and large data sets.
