Career Impact: Step into a newly created senior leadership position with the opportunity to influence how the business scales. Variety & Exposure: Gain exposure to traditional drawdown funds, managed accounts, and evergreen investment vehicles.
What You'll Be Doing:
Oversee fund accounting, financial reporting, and operations across a diversified secondaries platform.
Lead process improvements, automation initiatives, and the development of scalable financial infrastructure.
Manage relationships with third-party administrators and oversee fund reporting and data integrity.
Partner with investment teams on liquidity forecasting, budgeting, and new product launches.
Mentor and develop junior professionals while collaborating with senior leadership on strategic initiatives.
What We're Looking For:
10+ years of accounting and finance experience, ideally within alternative investments.

Fund accounting leadership experience at the Fund Manager, Assistant Controller, Controller, or equivalent level.
Strong understanding of fund structures, U.S. GAAP, financial reporting, and fund operations.
Demonstrated success improving processes, implementing automation, or building scalable operating models.
CPA preferred.
