Our hiring model allows us to match candidates with the team that aligns best with their skills, experience, and career aspirations. At the initial stage of our interview process, you'll have the chance to gain insights into the respective domains we're hiring for: Fund Tax We are hiring a Lead Product Manager to lead the evolution of our Fund Tax platform, one of Carta's fastest growing products. Our Fund Tax offering is a critical component of this ecosystem. We bridge the gap between complex accounting data and regulatory compliance, automating the preparation, filing, and distribution of federal and state tax returns (e.g., Form 1065s and Schedule K-1s) for thousands of GPs and LPs. Your mission is to not just build a better tax product, but to reimagine the way partnership tax is done in venture & private equity in an AI first world. You will be responsible for building the "rails" that allow data to flow from our General Ledger into tax-ready outputs with zero manual intervention. Fund Operations We are hiring a Lead Product Manager for Fund Operations. In this role, you'll transform the way we deliver core fund operations to our private venture fund CFOs. Fund Operations owns the core workflows that drive how thousands of funds on Carta are managed -- how expenses get paid, how investment events are booked, how capital calls and distributions with investors work, and how cash activity is reconciled. Our goal is to deliver the most real-time and delightful experience across these workflows to our clients. You'll be responsible for leveraging AI to transform our core workflows to be faster, more intuitive, and more powerful. About You We are looking for a strong product leader who can drive strategy, prioritization, and product delivery. If you are passionate about building intuitive solutions to complex problems and have a desire to impact how ownership is managed and distributed around the world, we’d love to talk with you.

- You are empathic and driven by solving problems for your users. You have the ability to dig deep into their problems and really understand what drives them.

- You traverse between altitudes with ease. You can think big picture on product strategy in one moment and then get in the trenches to solve a calculation definition issue in the next.
- You are resourceful and scrappy in the right ways. You know when to invest versus stand-up fake doors to validate a hypothesis. You understand that sometimes the best path forward may not be through building software.
