LemonEdge is a scaling FinTech company with a vision to revolutionize the private markets industry by redefining the benchmark for back-office accounting technology. LemonEdge launched in March 2020 and has seen continued growth; today, with over 90 employees working remotely across four continents. Our seed investors include leading investment firms and industry leaders, giving us unparalleled advisory and strategic support.

Our fund and portfolio accounting solution is proven across the most complex and largest clients globally in the private capital markets, with a combined AUM of $1.4 trillion. Our client base spans North America, the Channel Islands, the UK, Europe, and the Middle East.

The depth and caliber of our team’s experience speaks to the excitement we are creating in the industry and our ability to attract the very best talent. LemonEdge gives you the empowerment to get the job done in a very fast-paced environment.

Our people are entrepreneurial and importantly hands-on. As a member of a scaling growth-stage company, you will be well supported by an open, approachable senior team and given the freedom to deliver against our overall business goals. Our fully remote working policy provides you with the flexibility and autonomy to meet your goals on your terms.

Your ability to work within a cross-functional team, engage with clients, and build strong relationships while working remotely are traits that come naturally to you. You are a self-starter who can quickly ascertain insights from client conversations, translate those into tangible action items, and deliver with a ‘can-do’ attitude.

You bring deep experience in financial or accounting software implementation and consulting, with a specific focus on fund accounting and private assets — particularly Private Equity. You are comfortable navigating complex client environments and are passionate about technology’s role in transforming back-office operations.

We are growing our Implementation Team to meet the needs of our rapidly expanding client base and to set the foundation for continued growth over the coming years. We have the technology, funding, experience, and capability to scale our business quickly.

We are seeking an experienced Implementation Consultant with a strong background in fund accounting and private assets software. The successful candidate will have played an active role in delivering financial software solutions through the full implementation lifecycle, and will be confident and comfortable in client-facing engagements.

• Apply deep fund accounting knowledge to configure the platform to meet complex client-specific requirements across Private Equity, Real Estate, Fund of Funds, Evergreen Funds, Open-Ended Funds and other private asset strategies.
• Support data migration activities including data mapping, validation, and reconciliation to ensure accuracy and consistency during system transitions.
• Develop and document SQL queries and procedures to support implementation tasks including data migration, reporting, and process automation.
• Assist in the production of supporting materials for clients and partners, including project plans, configuration documentation, and training materials.
• Ensure clients are trained and supported on an ongoing basis, and that implementation best practices are met on all engagements.
• Interact with clients, partners, and professional services teams on a daily basis, providing clear and proactive communication throughout the project lifecycle.

• 5+ years of experience implementing or consulting on financial or accounting software solutions, with a focus on fund accounting and private assets.
• Strong background in Private Equity fund accounting, including an understanding of fund structures, capital calls, distributions, NAV calculations, waterfall mechanics, and investor reporting.
• Experience working with one or more industry-standard systems such as Investran, Allvue (formerly Black Mountain), eFront, Advent Geneva, or equivalent fund accounting platforms.
• Comfortable in a client-facing role, with the ability to lead client workshops, manage expectations, and communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to understand and translate complex financial processes into system configuration and data requirements.
• A team player who is eager to help where possible, with a passion for technology and financial services.

• Proficiency in SQL for data analysis, migration support, and reporting tasks.

• Understanding of Alternative Assets more broadly, including Real Estate, Fund of Funds, Evergreen Funds, Open-Ended Funds, Secondaries, or Infrastructure strategies.
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Computer Science, or a related field; professional qualifications (CFA, ACCA, ACA, or equivalent) are a plus but not essential.

• An active role in delivering enterprise-scale software solutions for some of the world’s most prominent private markets firms.
• The opportunity to help shape the culture and direction of a fast-paced, disruptive technology company.
