Description

About Juniper Square

Our mission is to unlock the full potential of private markets. Privately owned assets like commercial real estate, private equity, and venture capital make up half of our financial ecosystem yet remain inaccessible to most people. We are digitizing these markets, and as a result, bringing efficiency, transparency, and access to one of the most productive corners of our financial ecosystem. If you care about making the world a better place by making markets work better through technology – all while contributing as a member of a values-driven organization – we want to hear from you. 

Juniper Square offers employees a variety of ways to work, ranging from a fully remote experience to working full-time in one of our physical offices. We invest heavily in digital-first operations, allowing our teams to collaborate effectively across 27 US states, 2 Canadian Provinces and Mexico. We have physical offices in San Francisco, CA and Austin, TX, for US employees who prefer to work in an office some or all of the time.

GP Experience

The GP eXperience team (i.e., GPX) is responsible for Juniper Square’s product offering for General Partners (GPs). This is our core product that enables all other innovation at Juniper Square as we unlock and improve the world’s private capital markets. Our platform handles billions of dollars of transactions each month and we are actively expanding into additional private asset classes such as Venture Capital & Private Equity. Come help us innovate in fundraising, reporting, asset-ownership mapping, and more.

The Team

We call this team "Team Club" and we focus on the post-investment part of the investment lifecycle (after an investor has committed funds with a manager). At a high level we can describe the team as responsible for manager/investor communications. Our mission is to make communication easy and available so that investors don’t need to reach out to managers for one-off information, and to make them feel like they are the only investor. We support the ability for managers to perform tasks such as sending and tracking emails, managing investor access to the portal, creating reports and statements to share with investors, uploading and sharing documents, or customizing their workspace and investor experience.
