Successful candidates will proactively identify opportunities to make reporting more efficient, scalable, and repeatable through standardization, automation, technology, and AI-enabled tools.

Responsibilities

• Own the accurate and timely execution of recurring performance reporting processes and deliverables, including client reporting, presentation materials, consultant database, third-party portal updates and manage associated workflows, dependencies, deadlines, and issue escalation.
• Assume ownership of newly established reporting processes once requirements, methodology, data sources, and procedures have been defined, ensuring consistent and reliable execution thereafter.
• Support Adams Street's growing Private Wealth business by partnering with Investor Relations and other stakeholders to update sales and marketing materials, prepare client and prospect meeting materials, and respond to performance- and data-related inquiries.
• Maintain complete and up-to-date procedures for assigned recurring processes, including data sources, calculation logic, controls, dependencies, review requirements, and key deadlines, so responsibilities can be executed consistently across the team.
• Perform detailed data validation, reconciliation, and quality-control reviews to ensure performance information is complete, accurate, consistent, and appropriate for internal and external use.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve recurring reporting processes through standardization, automation, technology, and improved data utilization. Develop solutions that are scalable, well-controlled, documented, and maintainable by the broader team, with appropriate validation procedures to preserve data quality and reporting accuracy.
• Collaborate across Investor Relations, Investment Teams, Marketing, Finance, Accounting, Middle Office, Technology, and other functions to obtain information, resolve data issues, and support reporting requirements.
• Assist with ad hoc performance analyses, RFP/RFI requests, and other PRA initiatives as needed, while maintaining primary responsibility for recurring reporting and production processes.
• Continually deepen knowledge of private markets performance measurement, Adams Street's investment strategies and fund structures, and evolving institutional and Private Wealth investor reporting needs.

Requirements 

The ideal candidate will possess the following experience and competencies:

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited undergraduate university, with an analytically oriented degree, such as Finance, Accounting, Statistics, or related field, with proven academic success.

• Strong analytical aptitude and attention to detail, with demonstrated ability to work with complex financial datasets, investigate discrepancies, and ensure reporting accuracy.
• Strong organizational and project-management skills, with the ability to independently own recurring deliverables, manage competing deadlines, and maintain clear and comprehensive process documentation.
• Intermediate Microsoft Excel skills, including experience manipulating, reconciling, and analyzing large datasets; familiarity with Power Query, Power BI, AI-enabled tools, or other reporting and automation technologies is a plus.
• Demonstrated interest in process improvement and automation, with an ability to identify inefficiencies and develop solutions that are repeatable, scalable, and maintainable by the broader team.
• Strong written and verbal communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to prepare polished client-facing materials and work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Knowledge of private markets, investment performance measurement, or private-market fund structures is preferred, with an interest and ability to develop expertise across Adams Street's investment strategies.
