Operations Analyst

Pantera Capital is the first institutional investment firm focused exclusively on bitcoin, other digital currencies, and companies in the blockchain tech ecosystem. Pantera launched the first cryptocurrency fund in the United States in 2013. The firm subsequently launched the first exclusively-blockchain venture fund. In 2017, Pantera was the first firm to offer an early-stage token fund. Pantera manages $3.5bn across three strategies - passive, hedge, and venture - exclusively focused on bitcoin, other digital currencies, and companies in the blockchain tech ecosystem.

Pantera is hiring an Operations Analyst to assist with fund operations & automation. This role requires presence at least 3 days a week in our San Juan office.

Responsibilities:

Daily Books

• Run the morning position reconciliation: pull the breaks, sort each into timing, known standing item, or needs a look, and write up the ones that need a decision.
• Draft trade bookings for review: exchange and OTC fills, staking income, vesting unlocks and fees. Venture deals, token conversions and write-offs come later, once the routine bookings are second nature.

Cash and Wires

• Tag and reconcile bank activity with Finance (about 1,000 rows a month).
• Match deal wires to their approvals, flag any wire that has not been booked, and draft wire approval requests for sign-off.

Month-End and Audit

• Support the close: maintain the pricing checklist, chase and document mark sources, and prepare the tie-out to the fund administrator for review.
• Prepare and track annual audit confirmations with the auditors and counterparties.

Automation and AI

• Use our AI coding agents every day. Review what they propose, and flag anything that looks wrong before it reaches the books.
• Write and maintain runbooks so every task can be repeated without help. With guidance, turn repeat steps into small Python and SQL scripts.

Counterparties and Inbox

• Handle routine requests with custodians, prime brokers, trading venues and staking providers (statements, balance confirmations, address whitelisting), and escalate anything non-routine.
• Triage the shared operations inbox: route what needs action and file the rest.

Qualifications: 

• 0-2 years in fund operations, fund administration, audit, trading operations or a similar analyst role. Strong new graduates are welcome.
• Comfortable in Excel and able to write basic SQL queries. Some Python, or clear evidence that you pick up tools quickly.
• Careful with numbers. You check your own work before you hand it in.
• Clear, precise writing. You can explain a break in three sentences.
• A controls mindset. You ask before guessing, and you would rather flag something than "just book it to clear the rec."
• Interest in crypto: you have used a wallet, read a block explorer, or followed a token launch.
• Exposure to pandas, Jupyter or Git.
• Coursework or an internship in accounting, fund administration or audit.

Compensation:

$50,000 - $65,000 USD*
