The role also supports financial strategy, operational improvement, and special projects for fund managers and their management entities. This position is ideal for a self-starter who thrives in a hands-on, fast-paced setting and wants exposure to both fund operations and management company finance.

Requirements

• Direct client access and advisory exposure

• Visibility into fund launches, restructurings, and capital events
• Growth path tied to performance, leadership, and client impact
