Arch is a Series B financial technology company that automates the management of private investments, improving access, understanding, and the human experience of investing across asset classes.
Private investments such as venture capital, hedge funds, and private equity, make up roughly 25% of the investment universe. Traditionally, investors, advisors, banks, families, and managers track hundreds of investments in complicated spreadsheets, file folders, and busy inboxes. Not only is this tedious and time-consuming, but it is rife with opportunity for manual data entry errors, inconsistent reporting, and lost information. Enter, Arch.
Arch delivers standardized data, documents, and insights in a single platform, avoiding the need to chase information across dozens or hundreds of ‘portals’. Our purpose is to save investors’ time while empowering them to make more informed investment decisions, leading to better financial outcomes.
We are a fast-growing, dynamic team of 200+, serving over 400 clients, including several of America’s largest banks, families, and financial institutions. We’ve over doubled the size of the company every year since inception and we are looking to hire in all departments as we scale.
We are looking to hire a Senior Manager, Data Operations to lead and scale the data services function within Arch's data organization.
In this role, you will lead a team responsible for extracting, analyzing, and delivering data from Arch's platform for business use. You'll formalize processes, establish operational cadences, and build the foundation for a scalable data services function that enables teams across the company to operate more effectively.
This role is key to solving the company's most difficult operational data challenges, including problems that don't neatly fall into product or engineering and require strong business judgment to navigate. You will investigate root causes, determine whether solutions are possible, and drive the work through completion.
You'll serve as a bridge between technical teams and internal stakeholders, advising on data processes and best practices while ensuring projects move forward and deliver meaningful outcomes.
The ideal candidate enjoys solving complex problems, is comfortable operating in ambiguous environments, and takes full ownership of projects from initial idea through delivery.
