Operations Manager (Pipeline Management) (m/f/d)

Moonfare is seeking a detail-oriented and proactive individual to join our newly established Pipeline Operations team. This team is central to Moonfare's success, ensuring a seamless, compliant and automated fund launch process from end-to-end. This role is a unique opportunity to help build and shape the operational backbone of our investment platform, working at the intersection of our Investments, Sales, Legal, Compliance, Finance and Tax teams.

• Serve as the single source of truth for the entire fund pipeline lifecycle, from IC approval to Subscription, ensuring all data points are accurate, complete, up-to-date and compliant.
• Establish and enforce governance standards for pipeline information, ensuring all teams are working from the same playbook.
• Proactively track the pipeline through every stage, providing clear visibility on status and next steps to all stakeholders, leading regular check-ins to monitor progress and approvals against launch and closing timelines, identify potential roadblocks, and drive resolutions to keep the process on track.
• Act as a day-to-day liaison between GPs and internal stakeholders, maintaining and communicating status, deliverables, approvals and risks to key stakeholders.

The next Moonfarian:

• 4+ years of experience in project management, consulting, investment operations, private equity, venture capital, or startup operations

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to distill complex information into clear, actionable updates
• A proactive and problem-solving mindset, with a desire to build, document, and improve scalable processes
• Familiarity with regulatory and compliance requirements in the financial industry is a plus
