London, Greater London, United Kingdom PIMCO Full time
About PIMCO's Alternatives Platform

PIMCO has developed a comprehensive and robust alternatives platform over the past 15 years, with more than $145 billion in assets under management today. PIMCO has incorporated alternatives-specific talent and resources into the firm's disciplined investment process and institutional infrastructure, which supports $1.8 trillion of assets under management in total.

PIMCO offers a diverse set of hedge fund, quantitative, alternative credit, private credit, and real estate strategies that emanate from core PIMCO capabilities across credit, global macro, commodities, volatility, and real estate.

Main Focus/Position Responsibilities

A key and well-established pillar of PIMCO's business has been the Product Strategy group that sits between Portfolio Management and Account Management. The role of the Product Strategist group spans product development, structuring, distribution strategy, marketing, sales, and investor reporting. The Alternative Strategy group performs this role exclusively for PIMCO's alternative investment strategies.

The successful candidate will have a depth and breadth of experience and detailed knowledge in one or more of the following strategies: alternative credit, private credit, real estate, or hedge funds.

Key Responsibilities
  • Working with functional specialist groups across the firm to drive the further development of PIMCO's alternatives business and range of offerings
  • Partner with business leaders and investment teams across PIMCO to execute on distribution strategy
  • Serve as a proxy for portfolio managers in speaking to clients and consultants about PIMCO's alternatives strategies
Prior Experience Required

The successful candidate will have extensive professional experience, a majority of which spent in alternatives, and an impressive track-record developing business. Deep knowledge of alternative investment strategies and private fund documentation is a key requirement.

Strong presentation skills, both verbal and written, are essential, as are abilities to navigate systems and work effectively in Excel. A solid grounding in fixed income and a CFA or similar qualification are important.

Leadership Qualities
  • Provide leadership for junior members of the team and gain respect from senior team and constituent peers
  • Confidence, competence, and assertiveness working in a team environment with a range of highly intelligent, professionally driven, and results-oriented professionals
  • Capable of articulating complex ideas, both verbally and in writing, clearly and in a straightforward manner
  • High emotional intelligence and humility in order to work with the firm's internal stakeholders to ensure the business is executing on plan
  • Fits into PIMCO and adapts to the firm's culture, bringing an appropriate level of credibility and resolve to the platform
