This is an exciting opportunity to develop deep subject matter expertise in underlying asset data, own core functionality, and drive meaningful improvements across service delivery and ongoing operations.

What You’ll Do:

Operational Support & Workflow Management:

• Support Asset Data Processing Workflows: Assist in the intake, review, and processing of asset-level data—including cost basis, valuations, and operating metrics—ensuring data moves through the pipeline accurately and on time.

• Monitor & Triage Exceptions: Review automated outputs, identify processing exceptions or anomalies, and escalate or resolve issues in coordination with senior operations staff.

• Deliver Quality: Reconcile extraction data against source documents, manage conflicting data points, and maintain high standards across all client deliverables.
  

Subject Matter Expertise & Data Quality:

• Be an SME: Be the go-to individual within Canoe's Asset Data team for underlying asset data points—including cost basis, valuations, and operating metrics—and support the manipulation and enrichment of such data.

• Own Quality: Take charge of ensuring the highest standard of output for our asset data product offering, including standardizing asset-level data points across the platform.

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

• Derive Insights: Perform analysis on data trends to inform our product and service offering, and flag patterns that can inform process improvements or automation opportunities.
  

Process Improvement & Product Development:

• Continuous Improvement: Identify technology and process improvements to efficiently and effectively process asset data, and assist in refining operating procedures.

• 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 asset data 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 asset data work is executed accurately and on schedule.

• Client-Adjacent Support: Assist client-facing team members by preparing operational summaries and asset data quality reports that support client communications and onboarding.
  

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience: 4+ years of experience in fund operations, fund administration, private market data, or a related financial services role. Internship experience in relevant fields will be considered.

• Domain Knowledge: Strong familiarity with asset-level data points including, but not limited to, cost basis, valuations, and operating metrics, as well as 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.

• Technical Comfort: Comfortable working with structured data in Excel or similar tools. Exposure to SQL or data platforms is a bonus, but not required.
