Job description

About StartEngine

StartEngine is the FinTech powerhouse driving the future of fundraising and alternative investing. StartEngine was founded by Howard Marks, the co-founder of Activision (now valued at over $75B), with the goal of helping entrepreneurs achieve their dreams by removing funding barriers. Howard partnered with co-founder Ron Miller, a veteran entrepreneur and early advocate of equity crowdfunding, to build a platform that democratizes access to capital. In 2020, StartEngine welcomed Shark Tank judge and serial entrepreneur Kevin O'Leary (aka Mr. Wonderful) as Strategic Advisor and Investor. Since its inception, StartEngine has helped over 550 companies raise more than $1.5B from retail investors, with investments starting at as little as $100.

Why merely back a company when you can own a piece of it?

Looking to break into private equity, pre-IPO investing, and alternative assets? StartEngine is offering a unique opportunity to launch your career in one of the fastest-growing segments of private markets.

As a Private Equity Coordinator, you’ll connect directly with accredited investors on the StartEngine platform, introducing them to exclusive private market investment opportunities, including pre-IPO companies and secondary offerings through StartEngine Private. Your primary goal will be to build relationships, educate investors on our offerings, and schedule introductory meetings with our Senior Private Equity Associates.

This role is designed as a 120-day development program that provides hands-on experience in private markets, investor relations, and capital raising. During the program, StartEngine will sponsor and support your licensing journey, including the SIE, Series 7, and Series 63 exams. Successful candidates will have a clear path for promotion into a Senior Private Equity Associate role upon program completion.

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, performance-oriented environment
• Must live and work permanently in the United States

Why This Role Matters

• Front-row seat to private and secondary markets as they scale rapidly
• Direct exposure to accredited investors and real investment conversations
• Clear growth path into Private Equity Associate or other sales leadership roles
• Learn how sophisticated capital is raised, allocated, and deployed
• Join a fintech company actively shaping the future of alternative investing
