Job description

Fund Admin Manager Role at Fast-Growing Fintech Firm — Remote

Compensation vs. Market: The US range of $130,000–$140,000 is competitive but sits at the mid-range for a Fund Administration Manager with 7+ years of experience in major financial hubs. In cities like New York or San Francisco, senior fund accounting managers often command $150,000–$180,000+. However, given the fully remote option and strong equity component, the total package may be compelling — particularly outside high-cost metros.

Career Development Signals: This role offers meaningful exposure to high-growth fintech infrastructure, including AI-driven fund operations (JunieAI). Skills you'll build include:

• Technology-driven fund accounting at scale ($300B+ AUM)
• Cross-functional product feedback loops with engineering teams
• People leadership in a hyper-growth startup environment
• Private equity, real estate, and private debt fund structures

Growth Stage & Culture: At 1,000+ employees and $350M+ raised, Juniper Square is past early startup chaos but still scaling rapidly — a strong career inflection point. Founder-led culture signals mission alignment and less corporate bureaucracy, but also higher performance expectations and some ambiguity.

Green Flags: Digital-first operations, unlimited PTO, equity participation, and an explicit emphasis on transparency and open feedback culture are positive signals for work-life balance.

Watch For: The "hyper-growth, startup environment" qualifier and comfort with ambiguity language suggest the role may involve shifting priorities and evolving processes — rewarding for those who thrive in build-mode, potentially stressful for those preferring stable structures.
