This is a newly created, full-time seat sitting at the intersection of investment transaction operations, fund administration, and corporate treasury. You'll coordinate investment transactions end-to-end with headquarters and outside counsel, assist with capital calls and fund reporting with external fund administrators across multiple U.S. investment entities, and own day-to-day treasury work — cash positioning, bank reconciliations, and short-term cash flow forecasting. You'll also serve as the primary bilingual liaison between U.S. entities and the Japan-based headquarters on finance and investment matters, so business-level Japanese and English are both required for this role.
