Job description

About Juniper Square 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. With $300B+ under administration and 700,000+ LPs on platform, we’ve built the scale to match our ambition. 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.

Our culture is built for people who want to do ambitious, meaningful work alongside exceptionally talented teammates. We think like owners, move with urgency, and take pride in solving hard problems that truly matter to our customers and the future of private markets. We believe the best ideas come from open debate, deep collaboration, and diverse perspectives, which is why we believe transparency is the default and feedback makes us stronger. If you’re energized by high standards, rapid growth, and the opportunity to help define a category at a pivotal moment, come join us! Juniper Square offers employees a variety of ways to work, ranging from a fully remote experience to working full-time in one of our physical offices. We invest heavily in digital-first operations, allowing our teams to collaborate effectively across 27 U.S. states, 2 Canadian Provinces, India, Luxembourg, and England. We also have physical offices in San Francisco, New York City, Mumbai and Bangalore for employees who prefer to work in an office some or all of the time.

About Your Role

Juniper Square is building one of the most exciting sales teams in private markets, and as an Account Executive on our Private Equity team, you'll sell the full Juniper Square platform - our industry-leading SaaS solutions and our fund administration offering - giving you a differentiated value proposition that no competitor can match. The tailwinds are real: we already power fundraising, investor onboarding, and reporting for thousands of firms across real estate and venture capital, and our PE fund administration solution brings something the market has never seen, combining hundreds of collective years of fund administration expertise with private markets' most powerful, purpose-built AI. We're looking for true enterprise sellers - consultative, solutions-oriented professionals who are hungry, gritty, and maniacally obsessed with delivering real value for customers. If that sounds like you, come build this with us.

Executive Influence

Show up with executive presence in front of Partners, CFOs, and COOs and lead high-stakes conversations without hesitation
