About The Position

The Program Coordinator is an execution-focused role at the center of Bridgewater’s Investor Talent team, which partners with investors across the firm’s investment departments on how investors are identified, assessed, developed, and compensated. Working directly with the team’s manager, leads, and senior investors, the coordinator translates priorities into practical plans and drives investor programs from planning through delivery. The work varies with the calendar, with team operations and programs taking up most of the role during peak periods. The team is hands-on, and the coordinator is expected to contribute to operational work and attend events they help plan. Over time, the role can expand to broader project management ownership, program improvement, and increasingly complex workstreams. The anticipated onsite requirement is four days per week, primarily at Bridgewater’s New York City campus. Flexible hours may be needed, including some evenings or additional onsite days for key program events. The wage range is $120,000–$175,000, inclusive of base salary and discretionary target bonus; the expected base salary is between 80% and 90% of that range. Immigration sponsorship is not provided for this position.
