The investment office looks to maximize risk-adjusted returns within the context of the University’s overall strategy and financial condition. The investment office at Boston University seeks a skilled investment professional, with Privates experience, to join its team.

Ideal candidates will be those who enjoy working on a team, discussing investment ideas developed from rigorous, data-driven-analytical work and qualitative assessment, and sharing their knowledge with colleagues. The investment team currently comprises three Directors, one Associate Director, two Associates, three Analysts, all reporting to the CIO. The CIO reports to the President of the University. This new hire will be a key senior member of the team, expected to work closely with the most-Privates-oriented Investment Director to affect a smooth transfer of responsibilities and relationships over the next 12-18 months, while also pro-actively contributing to generalist investment activities. The position is located in Boston, Massachusetts; global travel, with team members or independently, will be required.
