Salary
💰 $145,000 - $165,000 per year
About the role
- Own the day-to-day execution of the asset data team and hold the quality bar at every level
- Develop analysts through hands-on coaching, markup reviews, and direct feedback on domain knowledge gaps
- Set standards and enforce them — you are accountable for every data point your team produces
- Build and maintain GP-level and asset-class-specific playbooks that enable consistent, scalable processing across the team
- Design comprehensive extraction rules for complex asset-level documents: portfolio company financials, operating metric reports, valuation statements, MOIC/IRR calculations, and multi-asset-class structures
- Codify financial concepts — valuation methodology nuances, cost basis adjustments, operating KPI definitions — into systematic rules that Product and Engineering can implement
- Serve as the final escalation point for asset data integrity
Requirements
- Deep, hands-on experience in private markets asset data — within an LP, fund of funds, family office, fund administrator, or data service provider with direct exposure to underlying asset-level reporting (we’re open on years; depth of exposure matters more than time in seat)
- Fluency across multiple asset classes: PE/VC, real assets, private credit, infrastructure — you understand how reporting conventions differ and why
- Experience leading or mentoring a team — you know how to develop people and hold a high bar simultaneously
- A builder’s mindset: you are energized by taking a messy, manual industry problem and solving it with systemic logic
- Technical instincts without needing to write code — you understand data structures, can define strict extraction rules, and communicate precisely with engineers
- Uncompromising standards — you know what audit-ready looks like and you refuse to compromise on precision
- Startup energy — you are comfortable with ambiguity, motivated by ownership, and excited to define the function rather than inherit it.
