Job description

This role asks someone to start and run a private equity partnerships program from scratch, building senior ties with PE firms and turning those ties into introductions, pipeline and revenue. A strong candidate already has a working network among PE firms and a record of partnerships that produced measurable results. Comfort with cross team work, clear reporting and a hands on style matter, along with some grounding in finance team software.

How it fits the AI era

The product is an AI native ledger and ERP, so the role sells a platform that automates bookkeeping and reconciliation work. The partnership work itself stays human: earning trust with senior PE partners, hosting events and shaping a consistent story. AI can speed up tracking of market and investment activity, but judgment about which firms to pursue and how to keep relationships warm remains with the person.

How it builds AI experience

Working here gives exposure to how AI changes finance operations, since the platform targets faster book closing for growth stage companies. A candidate can build relevant knowledge by learning how AI assisted accounting tools fit into the office of the CFO and by following where PE firms are investing in finance technology. That context helps in conversations with portfolio companies and their finance leaders.

Worth showing

• PE firm relationships
• Partnership program building
• Measurable pipeline results
• Executive presence
• Finance software familiarity
