Data Analyst - Data Operations

Company Overview

LP Analyst is a leading independent private asset cloud-based analytics and consulting solutions firm that works closely with many of the industry’s most prominent institutional investors (LPs) and fund managers (GPs) to get better, more actionable decision-making intelligence into the hands of today’s demanding investors.
 
Our firm truly sits at the intersection of private asset analytics and consulting which means we take both a highly quantitative and qualitative approach to tackling big challenges and developing cutting-edge solutions for our clients. For our analyst team, this means not only getting into the details when working with large amounts of private asset data across a wide range of strategies but also an opportunity to synthesize this information, through the firm’s proprietary reporting and analytics platform, for key decision makers at our clients’ investment programs, including private asset class leads and chief investment officers.

If you are a high achiever with a passion for learning about the private asset analytics and consulting landscape while also being part of a strong, motivated and innovative team of forward-thinking professionals, LP Analyst might be the right place for you.

LP Analyst encourages and promotes diversity within its team. Women, minorities, people with disabilities, veterans and members of all underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
