Backed by top investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Bill Ackmann, and Kindred Ventures, Heron Finance is unlocking the power of private markets. For decades, private markets have been the secret weapon of the biggest institutional investors. We believe technology can not only open access to this increasingly important asset class, but create a fundamentally better product—for everyone.

Our mission is about more than just investing, it's about unlocking potential. We envision a future system where anyone with a great idea can access the capital they need, and where any investor can participate, supporting that growth and sharing in its success.

Heron is looking to expand its Credit team. This is a highly visible, foundational role that directly reports to the Chief Credit Officer. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who has completed a formal credit training program at a top-tier firm and has experience in managing deal process. This role is full time, preferably located in the Bay Area or New York City, but we are open to remote for the right candidate.
