About the Team
The Deal Operations team owns the full lifecycle of every deal launched on Sydecar. We are responsible for making sure every deal on our platform runs smoothly. We work directly with fund managers and investors to solve problems, keep timelines on track, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks. We're the first point of contact when something needs fixing, and we work closely with teams across Sydecar to get the right outcome.
About the Role
As a Deal Operations Consultant, you'll take the lead on some of the most complex or time-sensitive deals on the platform. You'll work closely with fund managers, support your teammates when questions come up, and help improve how we work. This is a hands-on role where good judgment, clear communication, and follow-through matter. You'll also help shape how we train, review, and scale this function over time.
This role is a good fit for someone who enjoys staying close to the work, but who also wants to play a role in improving the system around them.

Build relationships with our largest and most important customers to execute their deals as smoothly as possible.

Make fast, responsible decisions in ambiguous situations-and know when to escalate or pull in the right cross-functional partner.
Identify product and process improvements that will shape the future of our product and our workflow.
Liaise with senior members of the team, as well as our Legal, Tax, and Product teams to answer customer questions and educate first-time Deal Organizers.
