About the TeamGlobal Private Equity Analytics sits at the intersection of Finance, Operations, IT, Investor Relations, and Capital Markets. We build the metrics, tools, and data products that power decision-making across the platform — from Power BI and Excel reporting to enterprise applications built on our central data lake. Everyone on this team, from associate to leadership, takes a hands-on approach to reaching our goal of an ecosystem of dynamic, scalable, explainable solutions.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Associate to join our data function. This person will be a critical link between raw financial/operational data and the LPs, deal teams, senior leadership, and Investor Relations. You'll spend meaningful time both delivering against existing processes and improving them.
What You'll Do
- LP Data Delivery: Support fundraising and LP engagement by delivering accurate, timely data and analysis in response to investor requests, leveraging existing tools and data infrastructure. This includes bespoke deliverables, held to a high bar for accuracy and turnaround time.
- Process Improvement: Identify repeatable, manual, or error-prone workflows and build tools to fix them — whether that's a better Power BI model, Alteryx workflow, a script, or an application or workflow built with Claude Code — with the goal of faster, more automated analytics.
- Enterprise Tooling: Contribute to enterprise-level applications built with agentic coding tools, working alongside the broader analytics team to extend what our data platform can do.
- Data Quality & Governance: Partner with the Data Governance team to design and maintain an interpretable, well-documented data lake that stakeholders outside our team, including non-technical users, can leverage and trust.
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Work directly with Finance, Investor Relations, Capital Markets, IT, Data Governance, and Investment Professionals to understand upstream data and downstream needs.
Who You Are
- A fund accountant, or someone with a similar accounting/finance background, eager to move into data, analytics, and AI-driven work
- 2–6 years of experience
- A genuine hard worker who wants to understand why, not just execute a task — someone who works proactively rather than waiting to be told the next step
- Comfortable with ambiguity and willing to own a problem end-to-end while also willing to acknowledge when they do not know the answer
- Strong attention to detail — in a data function serving LPs, small errors have outsized consequences
- Clear communicator who can explain technical/financial logic to both technical and non-technical audiences
Nice to Have (not required — we prioritize aptitude and work ethic over a specific toolkit)
- Exposure to private equity/alternative assets and/or fund/partnership accounting
- CPA or CFA designation (active, inactive, or progress towards)
- Prior experience in public accounting
- SQL, Python, DAX/Power BI, or other data/BI tooling
- Experience with source-system data connections or enterprise data lakes/warehouses
- Interest in or exposure to AI-assisted/agentic coding workflows
What Success Looks Like
- Within the first few months: fully ramped on some existing LP data request workflows, handling standard requests independently, creating clear leverage for team members currently filling these roles
- Within the first year: has identified and shipped at least one meaningful process improvement or tool, and is a trusted contributor on cross-functional data initiative
Why Join
- Direct exposure across the firm’s BUs, functions, and to senior leadership
- A team culture where everyone, including leadership, works hands-on with data
- Real ownership of tools and processes from day one, not just report execution
