Fund Formation & Launch • Support the operational setup and launch of new funds. • Coordinate account openings, documentation, and required registrations. • Help establish the operational infrastructure for new funds and feeder structures. • Ensure new fund launches are executed accurately without disrupting existing fund operations. Providers, Controls & Operational Infrastructure • Manage day-to-day coordination with fund administrators, transfer agents, prime brokers, and banks. • Maintain strong controls around operating accounts, fund accounts, and wire approvals. • Document fund operations procedures and build scalable operational playbooks. • Create reliable processes that provide operational continuity and reduce dependency on any single team member. • Continuously identify opportunities to improve, streamline, and automate fund operations. Required Qualifications • C2 / Near-native English proficiency, written and spoken. • 5+ years of hands-on fund operations experience within a fund administrator, hedge fund, private markets manager, fund-of-funds, asset manager, or similar investment environment. • Strong hands-on experience managing the NAV cycle, investor transactions, and capital activity. • Strong fund accounting foundation, including NAV review, position and cash reconciliation, P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow. • Ability to independently identify and resolve errors in monthly NAVs before final approval. • Hands-on experience with subscriptions, redemptions, transfers, KYC/AML, capital calls, distributions, and fee calculations. • Experience coordinating with fund administrators, transfer agents, prime brokers, and banks. • Hands-on accounting experience with accounts payable, accounts receivable, bookkeeping, month-end close, and financial reporting. • Experience communicating directly with investors or external financial partners. • Exceptional attention to detail and a strong controls mindset. • High level of ownership, judgment, discretion, and follow-through. • Ability to work independently and manage critical financial processes from beginning to end. • Availability during U.S. Eastern business hours (9:00 AM–5:00 PM ET).
