About the Company

Our client is a fast-growing U.S.-based investment management firm building institutional-quality alternative investment solutions for investors, financial advisory firms, and multi-family offices.

The company operates a sophisticated investment platform that includes its own investment funds as well as customized fund-of-funds solutions for financial partners. With assets under management growing rapidly and additional investment products in development, the firm is expanding its operational infrastructure to support its next stage of growth.

The organization combines the innovation and agility of a technology-driven company with the rigor, controls, and sophistication of institutional investment management.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Fund Operations Manager to take hands-on ownership of the operational processes that keep a growing investment fund platform running accurately and efficiently.

This is a specialized fund operations role with responsibility across the monthly NAV cycle, fund accounting, investor transactions, KYC/AML, capital activity, investor reporting, management-company accounting, fund launches, and external provider coordination.

You will work closely with the Head of Operations and serve as a trusted operational partner capable of independently managing critical fund processes from beginning to end.

This is not a traditional back-office role. You will have significant ownership, direct exposure to investors and leadership, and the opportunity to improve and automate fund operations as the platform scales.

What You'll Do

NAV & Fund Accounting

• Own the monthly NAV process and drive the close through final review and sign-off.

• Coordinate month-end activities with fund administrators and other external providers.

• Prepare and review monthly NAVs, identifying and resolving discrepancies before leadership review.

• Reconcile positions and cash across internal calculations, shadow records, and official administrator records.

• Manage outstanding manager NAVs and help maintain an efficient and timely close process.

• Maintain accurate fund performance records, including returns, positions, and expenses.

• Ensure fund accounting records remain complete, accurate, and audit-ready.

Investor Operations

• Process investor subscriptions, redemptions, and transfers accurately and on time.

• Own KYC/AML onboarding processes and maintain an accurate investor register.

• Coordinate capital calls, distributions, fee calculations, payments, and wire approvals.

• Serve as a front-line point of contact for investors, handling operational questions with accuracy, professionalism, and discretion.

• Coordinate directly with external administrators, managers, and service providers to resolve investor-related requests.

Investor Reporting

• Produce quarterly fact sheets and investor performance reporting using fund control-book data.

• Support quarterly fund-of-funds reporting and commentary processes.

• Maintain complete and organized shadow and official NAV records.

• Identify opportunities to automate recurring reporting and data processes.

Management Company Accounting & Financial Operations

• Manage the management company's books, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, bookkeeping, and month-end close.

• Prepare recurring management financial reporting, including KPIs, management-fee tracking, and expense reporting.

• Coordinate invoices, payments, expense management, and financial records.

• Help bring recurring bookkeeping and reporting processes in-house while improving and automating them wherever possible.

Fund Formation & Launch

• Support the operational setup and launch of new funds.

• Coordinate account openings, documentation, and required registrations.

• Help establish the operational infrastructure for new funds and feeder structures.

• Ensure new fund launches are executed accurately without disrupting existing fund operations.

Providers, Controls & Operational Infrastructure

• Manage day-to-day coordination with fund administrators, transfer agents, prime brokers, and banks.

• Maintain strong controls around operating accounts, fund accounts, and wire approvals.

• Document fund operations procedures and build scalable operational playbooks.

• Create reliable processes that provide operational continuity and reduce dependency on any single team member.

• Continuously identify opportunities to improve, streamline, and automate fund operations.

Required Qualifications

• C2 / Near-native English proficiency, written and spoken.

• 5+ years of hands-on fund operations experience within a fund administrator, hedge fund, private markets manager, fund-of-funds, asset manager, or similar investment environment.

• Strong hands-on experience managing the NAV cycle, investor transactions, and capital activity.

• Strong fund accounting foundation, including NAV review, position and cash reconciliation, P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow.

• Ability to independently identify and resolve errors in monthly NAVs before final approval.

• Hands-on experience with subscriptions, redemptions, transfers, KYC/AML, capital calls, distributions, and fee calculations.

• Experience coordinating with fund administrators, transfer agents, prime brokers, and banks.

• Hands-on accounting experience with accounts payable, accounts receivable, bookkeeping, month-end close, and financial reporting.

• Experience communicating directly with investors or external financial partners.

• Exceptional attention to detail and a strong controls mindset.

• High level of ownership, judgment, discretion, and follow-through.

• Ability to work independently and manage critical financial processes from beginning to end.

• Availability during U.S. Eastern business hours (9:00 AM–5:00 PM ET).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience within alternative investments or asset management.

• Fund-of-funds or multi-strategy investment experience.

• Experience working with multiple funds simultaneously.

• Experience with feeder funds, holding-company structures, or onshore/offshore investment structures.

• Experience supporting new fund launches and fund formation.

• Experience working directly with founders, investors, and external financial service providers.

• Experience using AI and automation to improve reconciliation, reporting, or recurring fund operations processes.
