Job description

We're looking for a Fund Finance Director to join a leading global alternative investment firm and take a key leadership role within a growing asset management platform. This person will serve as the primary day-to-day finance lead for a complex portfolio spanning private credit, structured investments, fund-of-funds, private investments, derivatives, and other alternative asset classes.

The platform supports insurance-related investment mandates, but prior insurance experience is not required. This is much more of an investment management finance role, and the asset classes and accounting knowledge can translate from a variety of alternative investment backgrounds.

Company/Team/ Position Highlights

• Highly visible role with direct exposure to investment professionals, senior finance leadership, and cross-functional teams
• Broad investment exposure across private credit, structured products, private investments, fund-of-funds, derivatives, and other complex assets
• Opportunity to take real ownership of a growing finance function rather than stepping into a narrowly defined reporting role
• Oversee third-party administrators while remaining close to the investments, transactions, and underlying economics
• Collaborative, high-performing culture with a strong track record of internal growth and mobility
• Up to $320k+ total compensation
• Generous profit sharing program, plus an additional long-term profit sharing opportunity at the Director level
• Comprehensive healthcare, retirement, family support, wellness, and other employee benefits
• Hybrid schedule with 3 days in the Boston office and 2 days remote

Key Responsibilities
