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.

The Problems You’ll Solve

  • Communicate the business impact of our product offerings to key decision-makers
  • Demonstrate ability to influence through persuasion, negotiation, and consensus-building to identify and sell new opportunities
  • Own sales cycles that are 12–18 months
  • Understand customer needs and requirements, and act as a trusted business advisor
  • Drive revenue through strategic outbound prospecting
  • Own the entire sales lifecycle, from lead generation to close
  • Develop a comprehensive sales strategy and sales plan that ensure consistent achievement of goals over the short and long term

About You

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field
  • 10+ years of account executive experience; enterprise sales a must
  • In-depth understanding of fund structures (venture capital, private equity, private credit, or real estate)
  • Relevant sales experience, preferably in a SaaS or financial services organization
  • Experience managing a pipeline and closing large contracts
  • Proven ability to execute, especially negotiation and closing
  • Intellectually curious, fast learner
  • Articulate, poised, and concise
  • Flexible and resilient
  • Competitive and driven to achieve goals
  • Experience in venture capital, private equity, institutional investing, or wealth management preferred
