You are an emerging operations professional eager to grow your career at the intersection of private markets and cutting-edge AI. As a member of our Canoe Data Operations Team, you will apply your expertise in private market data to build, define, and execute on our product and service offering-while supporting day-to-day operations, ensuring data quality, and tackling the operational complexity of the private markets ecosystem.

• Advocate for Standards: Champion best practices, perform quality checks, and drive consistency across the team to foster a culture of excellence.

• Document Operational Logic: Help capture and organize process notes, workflow rules, and exception-handling procedures to be shared across operations and product teams.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Work closely with Data, Product, and Engineering teams to communicate operational needs, contribute to product roadmap discussions, and flag issues that require systemic fixes.

Collaboration & Client Support:

• Manage Offshore Coordination: Support delivery through onshore and offshore team structures, ensuring work is executed accurately and on schedule.

• Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with private market data points including asset-level data (cost basis, valuations, operating metrics), capital calls, distributions, and fund financial statements.
• Operational Mindset: Process-oriented and organized, with a proven ability to self-manage in a remote or hybrid work setting and balance individual focus with team collaboration.
• Attention to Detail: You take accuracy seriously and understand that clean, reliable data is the foundation of everything we do.
• Communication Skills: Strong communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively across teams and time zones.
• Comfort with Ambiguity: Comfortable navigating complex, fast-paced environments and uncovering answers to open-ended product and operational questions.
