The Company You’ll Join

At Carta we create owners and make private markets liquid. 

We live in a world where some people live on the equity stack and enjoy exponential wealth growth and preferential tax treatment; others live on the debt stack and may work their entire lives for a company and retire only with the cash they’ve managed to save from their paychecks. Our contribution to solving the wealth inequality problem is moving people from the debt stack (payroll) to the equity stack. By making it as easy to issue equity to employees as it is to put them on payroll, we can create more owners. 

At Carta, we are helpful, transparent, fair, and kind. We are relentless executors, unconventional thinkers, and masters of our craft.

The Team You’ll Work With

Join Carta’s elite enterprise sales team and work directly with the largest, most influential venture capital firms in the industry. As the driving force behind our biggest and most complex deals, you’ll shape the future of private markets by delivering transformative solutions to top-tier VC clients.

As a Fund Admin Senior Account Executive, you’ll introduce clients to our wide range of product offerings, including portfolio management, reporting and analytics, investor management, investor portals, valuations, and data collection. These Carta services include selling consultative access to our team of Carta fund administration accountants, who support funds’ quarterly reporting needs. We offer tech-focused investor portals to both the fund GPs/Admins and their investors/LPs.

You will also work closely with new venture capital funds as they navigate the process of forming a new fund. That process involves advising them on best practices and referring them to additional vendors, which may include fund formation lawyers and tax professionals.
