Director, Fund Finance & Operations

EQUIAM; San Francisco (CA); Presencial; USD 150.000 - 230.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

EQUIAM is seeking a hands-on Operations role focused on building scalable fund operations. You will own end-to-end processes from deal execution to LP reporting, coordinating with fund administrators, auditors, tax advisors, and outside counsel.

You will drive calendar discipline, automate workflows, and ensure tight control of money and LP data as the firm scales. This is a high-impact seat that evolves with the firm and its needs.

Responsabilidades

• Deal execution for primary and secondary transactions: closing checklists, transfer documents, ROFR and issuer consents, funds flow, settlement, and position tracking through exit
• Capital calls, distributions, and the monthly and quarterly close, with our fund administrators
• LP reporting and the quarterly valuation process
• The annual audit and tax cycle, including K-1s
• The compliance calendar and regulatory filings, with outside counsel
• LP onboarding, operational diligence, and the operations for new vehicles
• Map and measure the firm's workflows, starting with fund operations, so every improvement has a before and an after
• Replace the manual ones with agentic workflows, with a human checkpoint wherever money or LP data moves

Descripción del empleo

EQUIAM is an investment firm managing funds focused on growth and late-stage technology companies. We systematically screen thousands of private companies, rigorously underwrite, then make high-conviction investments (often) through direct secondary transactions. Our LP base is 250+ family offices, UHNW investors, and institutional allocators.

We are looking for someone who is clever, relentless, and thrives when their role is evolving and growing.

We are a lean team. Nobody here works a narrow lane, and we would not know what to do with someone who wanted one.

The role

We are building EQUIAM into an agentic firm, where agents do the large majority of the work and people make every decision that matters. A year ago, an IC-ready memo here took three or four days to write. Today it takes less than one. This seat does the same for operations first, then for the rest of the firm. It reports directly to the CEO.

Day one looks like a classic fund operations seat. Since 2018, we have invested in 90+ companies and exited 40, and every one of those deals had to be papered, funded, closed, valued, and reported on, usually on someone else's deadline. You own that work, and a lot of it you will do yourself. The rest is split with our fund administrators, tax accountants, auditors, brokerage firms, transfer agents, and outside counsel. A big part of the job is knowing exactly which work belongs where. You set the calendar, hold everyone to deadlines, and catch whatever falls through the cracks.

Why this seat is interesting: few roles at any firm can change both how it runs and what it costs to run. This one can. Every process you automate is one we can bring in-house, which means faster, more accurate operations and, over time, less work we pay outside providers to do. We have already built internal tools for fundraising, research, and portfolio monitoring. You will do the same for the support functions that hold the firm up.
