At Chronograph, we get to go "behind the scenes" and work directly with investors who are driving some of the most impactful changes across high growth start-ups, global infrastructure and renewable energy, growth equity, and all other private capital strategies. The firm is backed by Sixth Street Growth, Summit Partners, Carlyle AlpInvest, and Nasdaq Inc., and has seen continuous rapid growth since its founding in 2016. Our client base today includes hundreds of investors and asset managers monitoring more than $5.9 trillion in invested capital with 8 of the 10 largest GPs and 5 of the 10 largest LPs using Chronograph.

The Opportunity

Join a team of former private equity professionals building a cutting edge cloud based portfolio monitoring platform for institutional investors.

We’re looking for highly motivated professionals to contribute to our Data Operations team as we continue our rapid growth. This is a unique opportunity to gain deep experience in alternative assets at a market leading fintech company. You will gain expertise in financial analysis, private capital concepts and practices, corporate finance, financial research and relationship management.

As an Analyst on our Data Operations team, you will:

• Manage data, perform financial analysis, and conduct research on private equity, venture capital, credit, real estate, infrastructure and natural resource funds.
• Structure data from private capital reports, including capital accounts, quarterly reports, cashflow notices, financial statements, limited partnership agreements, and other documentation at the portfolio, fund, and underlying asset levels.
• Provide feedback and ideas for innovation for both the analytics platform as well as other proprietary data capture technology.
• Communicate issues, client feedback, and edge case scenarios to the Client Services team, Product & Technology teams, and other relevant team members as appropriate.

The analyst program is a two year program, with exceptional candidates being offered a third year or direct promotion within the company. You can check out more information about the Data Operations team here.

You will be successful in this role if you:

• Have exceptional attention to detail
• Demonstrate an ability to learn quickly
• Maintain a positive attitude when faced with challenges
• Have familiarity with and / or desire to learn corporate finance and investing concepts, not least including GAAP accounting, valuation analyses, and leveraged buyouts, private equity fund accounting and some financial modeling
• Desire to take on a leadership role at a rapidly growing company
• Are an independent, highly-motivated self-starter who can simply get things done right
• Bring energy, enthusiasm, and humility to the workplace
• Take pride in your attention to detail and operate with a "zero defect" mentality
• Accounting or Finance degree (nice to have)
• Internships or experience in the finance industry (nice to have)
• Familiarity with the alternative assets industry, and private equity in particular (nice to have)

During the interview, candidates should be prepared to speak to:

• Background and motivations for applying
• Concepts listed on the Chronograph website and in other public materials
• What kind of work environment you do your best work in
• How you rebound after a setback
• What you like to do for fun outside of work
• We’re looking to ensure it’s a great fit from both sides: we want you to step into a role you love, and we want to offer you a place you’re proud to come to everyday.

We value creativity, open communication, cutting edge technology, striving for excellence in all things – and having fun along the way. We want you to be happy here for the long-term.

We offer:

• Flexible work arrangements (including in person / hybrid)
• 401k
