The Company You’ll Join

The Team You'll Work With

This role is on the Private Equity sales team, working to strategically grow Carta's presence into private equity. The team works with both investment firms and their portfolio companies.

Carta has developed an ownership management platform exclusively for Private Equity Firms and their portfolio company management teams — including the first and only Advanced Scenario Modeling tool capable of handling the most complex Private Equity waterfalls. This empowers deal teams, valuations teams, and management teams to improve accuracy and time-to-insight for their most important strategic decisions.

As an Account Executive, you'll join a cross-functional team to strategically navigate Private Equity Firms and their portfolio companies, evangelize the Carta value proposition, and drive net new revenue.

The Problems You'll Solve

Carta is transforming how private companies, their investors, and employees manage ownership and make strategic decisions. We have acquired substantial market share across industries, but managing ownership and modeling complex waterfall distributions remains a critical challenge for private companies across sectors — notably in the private equity industry.

You'll work in a fast-paced, innovative environment — taking initiative, trying new strategies, and collaborating closely across teams to provide a best-in-class sales process. Always prospecting for new opportunities, you'll close new accounts while building relationships with some of Carta's most sophisticated partners in the private equity space.
