Portfolio Management Associate
About The Position
Apollo Aligned Alternatives Fund (AAA) is Apollo’s flagship vehicle providing institutional and individual investors with access to private market opportunities by investing alongside Apollo’s balance sheet. With a highly diversified “go anywhere” mandate, AAA targets equity-like returns with relatively lower volatility and currently manages $27 billion in net asset value, one of the largest funds of its kind in the market. AAA expands on an alternatives strategy that Apollo and Athene have executed successfully for over a decade, spanning private credit, equity, real assets, and opportunistic investments across the capital structure. The AAA team is small and centrally positioned within Apollo’s broader organization. This role sits at the heart of that work, with direct exposure to senior leadership and the Investment Committee from day one. Day-to-day, you’ll work across quantitative analysis, portfolio management, and strategic initiatives, often in the same week. The work spans building risk attribution tools, synthesizing investment data, and preparing materials that inform how the fund is positioned and performing.
