Building the structure,
not just the back office
We don't simply trace existing workflows — we redesign fund administration itself as a system. You join as a builder of the new standard, not as an outsourced contractor.
We are looking for people who will
reshape the structure of fund administration
from the inside out.
FUNDKEY is not an outsourcing firm. We are looking for people who will resolve the inefficiencies and over-reliance on individuals inherent to fund operations through expertise and systems.

Detailed responsibilities and conditions are discussed during a casual conversation. Feel free to reach out about whichever role interests you most.
