Director of Fee Calculation & Performance (Private Markets)
About The Position
We are looking for a highly driven, tech-forward leader to take full ownership of our Fee Calculation and Performance function. This is a build, scale, and transform mandate — not a maintenance role. You will lead from the front, rethinking how fees and performance are calculated, controlled, and delivered across a modern private markets platform. The right candidate combines deep domain expertise with a product and automation mindset, and a proven track record of delivering scalable, production-grade solutions — not just ideas or incremental improvements. If you’ve led the implementation of systems or processes that materially changed how an organization operates at scale, this role is designed for you.
Requirements
- 10+ years in private markets fund administration or asset management with deep expertise in fees, waterfalls, and performance
- Proven track record of delivering scalable, production-grade solutions (systems, engines, or platform transformations) with measurable impact
- Strong systems/data mindset — able to translate complex financial logic (LPAs, allocations, performance) into automated, repeatable architectures
- Experience partnering with engineering and product to build and deploy tech-enabled solutions
- Demonstrated leadership building high-performing teams in fast-paced, high-accountability environments
- High attention to detail with a bias for action, ownership, and execution
Nice To Haves
- CPA/CFA preferred; technical fluency (data architecture, SQL, automation) a plus
Responsibilities
- Own & Lead the Function: Take full end-to-end ownership of fee calculation and performance, establishing standards, accountability, and a high-performance team culture
- Build & Deliver at Scale: Design and implement scalable, production-grade fee and performance solutions that replace manual processes and support growth across complex fund structures
- Technology & Data Integration: Partner with engineering and product to translate LPAs, waterfalls, and performance logic into automated systems, data models, and calculation engines
- Ensure Accuracy & Integrity: Oversee all fee calculations and performance outputs (IRR, MOIC, TVPI, DPI), ensuring they are consistent, auditable, and supported by strong validation and control frameworks
- Drive Process & Control Excellence: Implement repeatable, institutional-grade processes with robust controls, minimizing operational risk and key-person dependencies
- Lead Client & Stakeholder Engagement: Act as the senior escalation point, confidently addressing complex issues while influencing cross-functional stakeholders and building client trust
- Build a High-Impact Team: Recruit, develop, and lead a team that operates with urgency, ownership, and a relentless focus on execution and measurable outcomes
- Measure & Improve Performance: Define and track KPIs (automation rates, error reduction, cycle time, scalability) to continuously improve efficiency and deliver results at scale
Benefits
- Flexibility: Hybrid Work Model and Business Casual Dress Code, including jeans
- Your Future: 401k Matching Program, Professional Development Reimbursement
- Work/Life Balance: Flexible Personal/Vacation Time Off, Sick Leave, Paid Holidays
