At Gratia, we believe potential is globally distributed, but opportunity is not. Our mission is to turn great talent's potential into fulfilling global careers through professional development and tech-enabled platforms. We bridge the gap between ambitious companies and hands-on experts who deliver real results instead of just theoretical plans.

Gratia is a remote-first, apprenticeship-based platform where opportunity is defined by what you can do and deliver. Our clients include global names like USA Today Co., Endeavor, and New York Life. We maintain an 88.2 Net Promoter Score because we focus on rigorous execution, not just high-level advice.

THE MISSION

A leading global alternative asset manager is looking to bring structure to a complex, fast-moving data environment across treasury, finance, risk, and accounting. The data landscape spans fund-level positions, security master, cash flows, management fees, ratings, and accounting data — and it needs someone who can navigate that complexity without a roadmap. You won't be trained into this. You'll be expected to understand the terrain, ask the right questions, and drive the work forward from day one.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Create and structure data domains across treasury, finance, risk, FP&A, and accounting — defining granularity, business logic, and data ownership from scratch where needed

• Own source-to-target mapping end-to-end — extract, transform, enrich, cleanse, and map data from messy source systems into clean, reliable outputs

• Translate business needs into clear technical requirements — work directly with finance, treasury, and risk stakeholders to clarify what they actually need, and spec that clearly for technology teams or external vendors

• Navigate accounting and financial nuance — understand concepts like management fee structures (receivables vs. payables, date logic, transaction-level detail), ratings hierarchies, and cash flow categorization well enough to avoid pulling the wrong data

• Operate with minimal ramp-up — whether you've worked inside a comparable firm or come from a strong treasury/risk data background, you're expected to orient quickly and drive work forward without heavy training

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years of hands-on experience working with treasury, risk, or accounting data in asset management, private equity, private credit, or a related financial services environment

• Deep familiarity with data domain creation — you've personally built or restructured data domains, not just managed someone else doing it. Source-to-target mapping, data cleansing, enrichment, and transformation are core to your experience

• Strong accounting and financial literacy where you can distinguish between different definitions of the same metric (e.g., management fees, ratings types) and know what follow-up questions to ask before pulling data

• Experience with OneStream and/or Snowflake preferred

• Prior experience at a large-scale alternative asset manager preferred firms like Blackstone, KKR, Ares, Carlyle, Brookfield, or similar. Fund-level data experience on the asset management / HoldCo side is a strong differentiator
