About The Position

Clocktower is an alternative asset management and advisory firm based in Santa Monica, with a global presence, including an office in Shanghai. In public markets, we seed macro-oriented hedge fund managers and manage an Asian equity platform. In private markets, we invest in fintech and Latin American startups. Several times a year we host global conferences bringing together our clients and partners, including sovereign wealth funds, tech founders, hedge fund managers, and successful individuals in creative niches. Clocktower’s edge is our network. This is a rare seat. You will work directly with the Managing Partner on the work that defines the firm: building investor relationships, supporting capital formation, and helping execute across every initiative that matters along the way. In practice, that means you’ll be in the room for conversations with some of the world’s most sophisticated allocators, including sovereign wealth funds, pensions, endowments, and family offices. You'll help shape how those relationships are built and sustained over time, including the global events and roadshows that are central to Clocktower's reach and impact. Over time you’ll come to understand how Clocktower thinks, what we’re building, and why the right people want to be part of it. And as you earn trust, the role expands. You will help the Managing Partner think through priorities and act on them across the platform, while taking on increasing ownership of the projects and relationships that shape the firm’s trajectory.
