Transaction Closing Specialist (Private Markets)

Company Description
Tangible is a fast-growing, tech-enabled platform providing liquidity solutions to LPs and GPs in the private markets secondaries ecosystem. By combining deep sector expertise with modern infrastructure, we unlock liquidity across private equity, private credit, and real assets, enabling investors to move faster and smarter.
Role Overview
You will be a core member of Tangible’s deal team, responsible for driving private-market transactions across the finish line. You will take ownership of the closing process once commercial terms are agreed, coordinating all parties, managing the execution workflow, and ensuring every transaction closes accurately and on time.
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role. You will be deep in the details of live transactions every day, chasing transfer agents, coordinating with fund administrators, managing legal counterparties, and resolving the practical blockers to a completed close. Our internal legal counsel handles documentation and legal review; your job is to ensure the process moves forward.
No two closings are the same. The role demands someone who understands the nuances of the secondaries closing process from experience, and who can adapt, stay calm under pressure, and navigate complexity without losing momentum.
