Account Executive
What We Do:
Gridline provides access to top-tier alternative investments, creating an efficient way to gain diversified exposure to non-public assets with lower capital minimums, transparent fees, and greater liquidity.
While the traditional investing process is cumbersome, manual, and inefficient, we are redeveloping the entire system from the ground up, building a technology-first approach that makes it simple to discover, deploy and manage alternative investments.
Just as other platforms have revolutionized the financial industry (payments, lending, trading, etc), we are building the on-ramp for new journeys into alternatives by reducing complexity and putting usability at the core of our platform.
Who We Are:
Our team collectively brings decades of experience across the technology and investing landscape, and are looking to continue our growth alongside people that:
Make decisions based on data with a focus on delivering long term value.
Think strategically, and can articulate what they are (and not) trying to accomplish.
Take calculated risks, are open to possible failure, and continuously make progress.
Are passionate about what we’re building and seek to constantly learn.
Operate with a high degree of candor, authenticity, and transparency.
