About Juniper SquareOur mission is to unlock the full potential of private markets. Privately owned assets like commercial real estate, private equity, and venture capital make up half of our financial ecosystem yet remain inaccessible to most people. We are digitizing these markets, and as a result, bringing efficiency, transparency, and access to one of the most productive corners of our financial ecosystem. If you care about making the world a better place by making markets work better through technology – all while contributing as a member of a values-driven organization – we want to hear from you.
Juniper Square offers employees a variety of ways to work, ranging from a fully remote experience to working full-time in one of our physical offices. We invest heavily in digital-first operations, allowing our teams to collaborate effectively across most US states, 2 Canadian Provinces and Mexico. We have physical offices in San Francisco, CA and Austin, TX, for US employees who prefer to work in an office some or all of the time.About your roleWe have open roles on our GP Experience (GPX) team and our Services team.
GP Experience (GPX)
Juniper Square serves two sides of the private capital markets, the investment managers (GPs) and the investors (LPs). The GP eXperience team (i.e., GPX) is responsible for Juniper Square’s product offering for General Partners (GPs). This is our core product that enables all other innovation at Juniper Square as we unlock and improve the world’s private capital markets. Our platform handles billions of dollars of transactions each month and we are actively expanding into additional private asset classes such as Venture Capital & Private Equity. Come help us innovate in fundraising, reporting, asset-ownership mapping, and more.
Our contacts team helps General Partners strengthen and understand their relationships with existing and prospective investors.
You will work in our greenfield project to build a new 3rd party integrations platform that will reduce time to market for new integrations. In addition, you will also work in other areas, including contacts and lead management.
The investor communications team focuses on post-investment (after an investor has committed funds with a manager) communication between GPs and LPs. We strive to make communication easy and available so that investors have the information at their fingertips and GPs can spend less time addressing requests for one-off investor information. We support the ability for managers to perform tasks such as sending and tracking emails, managing investor access to the portal, creating reports and statements to share with investors, uploading and sharing documents, and customizing their workspace and investor experience.
