The Opportunity
Chronograph was founded to bring next-generation technology to private capital markets. Through our suite of cloud-based analytics and data management solutions, we help many of the world’s largest and most sophisticated venture capital, private equity, and credit funds understand their investment performance in unprecedented detail, with over $19 trillion of AUM monitored via our solution suite.
At Chronograph, we get to go “behind the scenes” and work directly with investors who are driving some of the most impactful changes across high growth start-ups, global infrastructure and renewable energy, growth equity, and all other private capital strategies. The firm is backed by The Carlyle Group, Nasdaq Inc., and Summit Partners, and has seen continuous rapid growth since its founding in 2016.
We’re looking for highly motivated professionals to contribute to our Data Operations and Analytics team as we continue our rapid growth.
This is a unique opportunity to gain deep experience in alternative assets at a market-leading fintech company focused on the space. You will gain expertise in financial analysis, private capital concepts and practices, corporate finance, financial research, and relationship management.
As an Analyst on our Data Operations team, you will:
- Manage data, perform financial analysis, and conduct research on private equity, venture capital, credit, real estate, infrastructure and natural resource funds.
- Structure data from private capital reports, including capital accounts, quarterly reports, cashflow notices, financial statements, limited partnership agreements, and other documentation at the portfolio, fund, and underlying asset levels.
- Provide feedback and ideas for innovation for both the analytics platform as well as other proprietary data capture technology.
- Communicate issues, client feedback, and edge case scenarios to the Client Services team, Product & Technology team, and other relevant team members as appropriate.
The analyst program is a two year program that puts motivated Analysts on track for Associate Manager roles within Chronograph. Our program further enhances your ongoing learning and development: you’ll be positioned for success for opportunities within Chronograph and beyond.

- Have exceptional attention to detail
- Demonstrate an ability to learn quickly
