Portfolio Operations - Senior Associate (Private Markets- Liquidity, Analytics & Governance)

Our Client is a rapidly growing Global Private Markets firm who provides customized investment and advisory solutions to some of the most sophisticated investors in the world. With $640 billion of total capital allocations, including $143 billion in AUM, we are highly diversified in the private markets across the globe and provide creative solutions to solve for the objectives of any investment program. With a culture built on entrepreneurialism, partnership and being a team within teams, our client offers joiners the opportunity to think out loud, collaboratively.

We are building out a new Portfolio Management function responsible for institutionalizing how our client monitors, manages and governs their portfolios across private markets.  This role sits at the center of the platform, working alongside investment teams, capital markets, treasury, and client solutions. The focus is on liquidity management, portfolio analytics, and operating model design — building the processes, data infrastructure, and governance framework that support decision-making at scale.

This is not a steady-state role. The mandate is highly project-based and execution-driven, with significant time spent on the ground working across teams to push key initiatives forward. The role will help shape the function in real time — building processes, standing up data tools, and implementing operating model improvements as the platform evolves.

• Exposure to data tools (e.g., Power BI, Alteryx, SQL/Snowflake)
• Experience building processes, data tools, or operating models
• Ability to translate analysis into clear, actionable insights
• Strong analytical and modeling capabilities (Excel required; exposure to data tools a plus)
• Experience working across teams in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment
• Organized and process-oriented, with the ability to bring structure to ambiguous situations
