## About your role

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team as we continue to evolve and scale Juniper Square's fund administration service within our real estate private credit practice. As a Director, Fund Administration (Real Estate Credit), you will oversee fund accounting operations for a portfolio of third-party real estate private credit clients - including debt funds, CLOs, bridge lending vehicles, and other credit structures. This role reports to the Senior Director, Fund Administration (Real Estate Credit), and manages a team of fund accounting professionals at various levels. You will have a meaningful opportunity to help shape the trajectory of our real estate credit function and deliver a best-in-class experience to our customers.

## What you'll do

- Own the end-to-end fund accounting function for a book of real estate private credit clients, including NAV calculations, financial statement preparation, capital activity processing (calls, distributions, recallable capital), and fee/carry calculations
- Oversee accounting for underlying credit positions — interest income accruals, OID/PIK treatment, origination fees, prepayments, and loan modifications — ensuring accuracy and consistency across client portfolios
- Review and sign off on complex waterfall calculations, preferred return hurdles, catch-up mechanics, and LP/GP allocations across fund structures of varying complexity
- Oversee preparation and review of quarterly and annual financial statements (GAAP/IFRS as applicable), investor capital statements, and management reporting packages delivered to clients and their LPs
- Serve as the primary operational lead for annual audit and tax processes — coordinating with external auditors, tax advisors, and client finance teams to ensure clean, timely completion
- Act as a senior point of contact for client CFOs, controllers, and finance teams; manage escalations professionally, set and maintain service expectations, and proactively surface issues before they become problems
- Manage and mentor a team of fund accounting professionals across levels (managers, associates, senior associates); own hiring, performance management, workload distribution, and career development within your team
- Drive continuous improvement across workflows, controls, and documentation; partner with internal technology and product teams to improve how Juniper Square's platform supports real estate credit accounting needs
- Partner cross-functionally with Investor Services, Compliance, Legal, and Product teams to deliver a seamless client experience and inform the evolution of Juniper Square's real estate credit service offering

## Qualifications

- 10-12+ years of experience in fund accounting, fund administration, or finance roles with meaningful exposure to real estate private credit, commercial real estate debt, or structured credit
- Deep working knowledge of credit fund structures — including debt funds, CLOs, bridge vehicles, or mezzanine funds — and the accounting treatment associated with loan portfolios
- 5+ years of experience managing and developing teams; demonstrated ability to build and retain talent in a high-growth environment
- Strong technical accounting skills (GAAP); familiarity with ASC 946, fair value measurement, and interest income recognition for debt instruments
- Proven track record managing client relationships at a senior level — comfortable presenting to and communicating with client CFOs, controllers, and IR teams
- Experience owning or overseeing audit and tax processes for investment funds
- Bachelor's degree required, with a degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or related discipline
- Comfortable with ambiguity within a high-growth environment
- Passion for technology and a desire to use technology to streamline business operations and improve the client experience
- Excellent client service, verbal and written communication skills
- Experience at a third-party fund administrator a plus (e.g., Citco, SS&C, Alter Domus, Apex, NAV Consulting)
- Background in CRE debt, CMBS, or commercial mortgage servicing environments a plus
- CPA license or equivalent professional certification a plus
- Experience with IFRS a plus but not required
