Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Senior Equity Administrator role sits at a point many SaaS companies reach once headcount, international hiring, and customer traction make equity programs materially complex. With Harvey described as a private company scaling with a large customer base, the position reflects a maturing SaaS operator where cap table accuracy, grant workflows, and audit readiness become foundational infrastructure rather than occasional projects.
For a SaaS career, equity administration is a durable specialty that stays relevant across funding stages and product categories. The work touches the mechanics behind how SaaS firms attract talent and report financials, linking HR operations, payroll, finance, and external vendors through a single source of truth in tools like Carta. Experience with ASC 718, 409A cycles, and multi country considerations also translates well to other venture backed software businesses preparing for larger audits, reorganizations, or future liquidity events.
This role tends to suit professionals who prefer precise, process oriented ownership and are comfortable being the internal reference point for technical questions. It also fits someone who likes cross functional coordination and documenting controls, while operating independently on recurring calendars and reconciliations in a remote setting.
