Private markets are one of the largest, most complex, and most underserved corners of global finance. Our mission at Juniper Square is to unlock their full potential. We’re the Operations Partner trusted by 2,300+ GPs, unifying technology, data, and fund administration services into a single platform that helps GPs move faster, make better decisions, and scale with precision.

And with JunieAI, our purpose-built AI platform, we’re reimagining how private markets operate, embedding intelligence across every workflow. Founder-led since 2014, backed by $350M+ in funding, and now 1,000+ employees strong, we’re building a company designed to shape the future of private markets for decades to come.

If you’re energized by high standards, rapid growth, and the opportunity to help define a category at a pivotal moment, come join us!

• Reconcile customer data and review the final setup of the completed customer workspace, checking for quality and accuracy of configuration settings before handoff to the ongoing service teams.
• Identify product development opportunities, routing technical and product feedback from onboarding to the product development teams.
• Participate in special projects as needed.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of fund accounting experience in private equity, venture capital, and/or real estate funds required.

• Proven experience with customer onboarding, data migration, or implementations in a fund administration or fin-tech environment.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related field.
• Proven ability to independently identify, analyze, and resolve complex problems with minimal supervision.
• Comfortable with ambiguity within a hyper-growth, startup environment.
