## Job description

## ABOUT ALLOCATE

Allocate transforms private market investing by enabling RIAs and family offices to discover, model, and manage their private market exposure. The platform provides curated fund and co-investment opportunities with institutional-grade infrastructure across venture capital, private equity, private credit, and other private asset classes.

The Opportunity

Private market data is messy. It arrives as unstructured documents from hundreds of managers and fund administrators in no consistent format, and it spans both the pre-investment picture — fund terms, manager and vehicle characteristics, track record — and post-investment reporting: capital account statements, capital calls, distributions, financial statements and tax documents.

This role owns data as a system across all of it, not a single dataset or a single product line: the fund and entity master, the checks that catch problems before clients do, the reconciliation that proves the numbers tie, and the analysis that explains where data is wrong and why. It is a broad remit

The work is equal parts investigation and design. You will spend as much time working out why something broke as you will building the thing that stops it breaking again.

## What You'll Own

- Data as a system, across every product line. A consistent, governed view of funds, entities and positions that holds up wherever it is consumed — operated vehicles, administered funds, and client-held positions alike.
- Fund and entity data quality — the security master. Fund and manager records, entity resolution and duplicates, fund properties and characteristics.
- Data quality and completeness. Design and run the checks that validate data before it reaches clients, and the exception workflows behind them.
- Reconciliation. Reconcile data across our systems and sources, and explain the differences clearly.
- Root-cause analysis. Trace a wrong number back to its source, size the problem, and specify the fix.
- Extraction quality. Expand the data we capture and evaluate how well our tooling captures it.
- Documentation. Definitions, assumptions and edge cases, written down and kept current.

Must Have Experience

- 3+ years in data operations, reference or master data, fund operations, or financial operations
- Basic SQL
- Hands-on data reconciliation experience
- Experience designing or operating data quality checks, validation rules or exception workflows
- A process improvement mindset — you would rather fix the cause than clear the queue faster
- Comfortable in a startup environment: ambiguity, shifting priorities, and limited existing process
- Detail-oriented, with strong, consistent judgment under SLAs
- Comfort with data and modern software, including AI-assisted tools

Nice To Haves

- Proficient SQL
- Python for data analysis
- Security master or reference data management experience (instrument, entity or fund master)
- Entity matching or entity resolution — canonical entities, deduplication and merge review
- Data modeling — dimensional modeling, dbt, or data warehouse concepts
- Private markets experience, particularly fluency with capital account statements, capital calls, distributions, schedules of investments and K-1s
- Prompt engineering, or evaluating model extraction output against golden datasets
- BI tooling — Metabase, Looker, Tableau or similar

Education

- Bachelor's degree, or equivalent practical experience

## Compensation & Benefits

- Salary: $95,000–$135,000 base, plus potential discretionary bonus and equity.
- Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and responsible vacation time

Values & Culture

Allocate prioritizes world-class client experiences, welcomes unconventional thinking, emphasizes continuous learning, operates on meritocracy, encourages civil discourse, and embraces technological innovation and automation.

## About Allocate

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Allocate builds the operating system and infrastructure layer that connects wealth advisors and asset managers for private markets investing.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Funding Stage: Series C – $60.8M total raised)
- **Headquarters**: Palo Alto, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Samir Kaji (Co-Founder, CEO & President) and Hana Yang (Co-Founder, CXO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Financial Services / Private Markets Infrastructure
- **Target customers**: Wealth advisory firms (RIAs from $500M to $250B+ in AUM) and institutional asset managers operating in the wealth channel.
- **Mission or purpose**: To build the private markets operating system for the wealth channel – bringing an end-to-end institutional-grade solution around structure, controls, and reporting.

## Products & Services
- **Allocate Platform (Operating System for Private Markets)**: A unified technology platform that handles subscriptions, capital flows, portfolio operations, and AI-powered workflows. Enables wealth advisors to curate opportunities, create white-labeled feeder vehicles, and track performance across their entire private markets program.
- **Integration Layer**: Works alongside existing reporting platforms (e.g., major wealth advisor reporting systems) rather than replacing them, minimizing disruption and operational lift.
- **AI-Powered Workflows**: Extracts data from fund documents, structures comparisons, and updates portfolios from manager reports automatically.
- **Curated Investment Opportunities**: Allocate offers a vetted selection of private markets offerings that meet platform eligibility criteria, augmenting advisors’ own diligence efforts.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: $4.5B+ assets on platform; 1,500+ private asset manager relationships; 370+ wealth advisory firms trust Allocate (as of mid-2026). Estimated annual revenue of $1.0M (per LinkedIn data – likely a proxy estimate; not officially confirmed).
- **Total Funding**: $60.8M from institutional investors including top-tier VCs (specific lead investors not named in provided materials, but described as “long-term institutional investors”).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not individually listed in source, but backed by institutional investors; leadership includes alumni from First Republic, J.P. Morgan, SS&C, Carta, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, AngelList.
- **Growth Signals**: 73 employees as of 2026 (+16.7% YoY). Serving 370+ wealth advisory firms (up from 325+ at end of 2025, per February 2026 news). Co-founder Hana Yang named to Inc.’s 2026 Female Founders 500 List. Presence in Canada and Brazil.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Dual-sided platform**: Serves both wealth advisors and asset managers – complete capital flow coordination rather than a one-sided tool.
- **Infrastructure layer**: Focuses on automating manual processes (subscriptions, vehicle administration, portfolio tracking) that create bottlenecks in private markets.
- **Integration-first approach**: Does not require replacement of existing reporting systems, reducing friction for adoption.
- **Scale**: Built for firms from $500M to $250B+ in AUM, with institutional-grade compliance (SOC 2 Type II), role-based permissions, and audit trails.
- **Founder expertise**: Samir Kaji (26 years in private markets, hosted “Venture Unlocked” podcast) and Hana Yang (15+ years, former Managing Director at First Republic, Kauffman Fellows) bring deep domain knowledge.

## Strategic Focus
- Continue scaling the platform to capture the $3T projected wealth channel capital into private markets by 2029.
- Deepen AI capabilities to automate repetitive fund document processing and portfolio updates.
- Expand integration partnerships with major wealth advisor reporting platforms.
- Grow relationship management team (open roles in RIA relationship management across East/West Coast) to onboard more advisory firms and asset managers.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Emphasizes “relentless problem-solving” and “extreme client service” – described as builders who care deeply about client experience, operational rigor, and systems thinking.
- **Work Environment**: Flexible remote/hybrid policy (some roles fully remote, e.g., Information Security Lead; others based in Palo Alto office). Offers responsible time off (RTO) and comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans.
- **Growth & Impact**: Join a fast-growing fintech with institutional backing and a clear mission to fix infrastructure in a huge market. 73 people scaling rapidly – opportunity to shape engineering, product, and operations.
- **Diversity & Inclusion**: Co-founder Hana Yang is a prominent female leader in venture; the company likely values diverse perspectives (Women In Venture initiative founder).
- **Benefits**: Parental & family leave, flexible work environment, and a focus on professional development.
