Customer Reference Program Manager, Investors

The Company You’ll Join

Carta connects founders, investors, and limited partners through world-class software, purpose-built for everyone in venture capital, private equity and private credit. 

Carta’s fund administration platform supports nearly 7,000 funds and SPVs, representing  $150B in assets under administration in venture capital and private equity. Trusted by more than 40,000 companies, Carta also helps private businesses in over 160 countries manage their cap tables, valuations, taxes, equity programs, compensation, and more.

Together, Carta is creating the end-to-end ERP platform for private markets. Traditional ERP solutions don’t work for Private Funds. Private capital markets need a comprehensive software solution to replace outdated spreadsheets and fragmented service providers. Carta’s software for the Office of the Fund CFO does just that - it’s a new category of software to make private markets look more like public markets - a connected ERP for private capital.

The Problems You’ll Solve

At Carta, our employees set out on a mission to unlock the power of equity ownership for more people in more places. We believe that the problems we solve today unlock the opportunities of tomorrow. This is a brand new function at Carta, offering a unique opportunity for a builder who thrives in creating programs from the ground up. Backed by strong cross-functional support from Sales, Delivery, and Marketing teams, this role will play a critical part in shaping and scaling our customer reference engine to support strategic growth across the business. As a Customer Reference Manager, you’ll work to: 

• Build a customer reference framework  that aligns with pipeline priorities, revenue goals, and GTM motions across Carta’s business lines.
• Create and manage a searchable repository of pre-approved reference customers, tagged by fund type, buyer persona, product, and region.
• Operationalize a consistent intake, matching, and tracking process for all reference requests across the deal cycle.
• Partner with Sales, Customer Success and Delivery to identify, qualify, and onboard net-new reference customers across strategic product areas and segments (e.g., Private Equity Fund Administration, Upmarket Venture Capital Fund Administration, Fund Tax, and Carta Total Compensation).
• Capture and operationalize NPS insights to drive testimonial and reference generation for the Companies business, while systematically supporting the creation of net-new sales references, testimonials, and social proof across the Investors business.
• Build repeatable processes to operationalize the reference program from intake, qualification, approval, and fulfillment of reference requests, ensuring alignment across Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and Delivery teams.
• Scale a library of high-impact reference assets, case studies, and social proof points, while increasing coverage across products, personas, and use cases. Activate these assets across priority GTM channels and enablement, leveraging tools and automation to drive efficiency, consistency, and reach across Carta’s business.
• Measure the effectiveness and utilization of reference content by tracking engagement, usage, and impact on pipeline and deal velocity. Use insights to continuously optimize content strategy and program performance.
• Be a power user of the User Evidence customer evidence platform to support key GTM product launches, campaigns, and competitive with customer claims and assets.
• Drive internal enablement to educate teams on how to request, access, and use references effectively.
