Senior Investment Solutions Specialist

Janus Henderson Investors • Denver, CO

10d • $180,000 - $210,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

We are seeking a senior, commercially oriented investment specialist to help Janus Henderson scale differentiated solutions at the intersection of alternatives, income, ETFs, and portfolio innovation. This role is designed for a top-decile candidate who can operate across private markets, public market implementation, and advisor-facing portfolio construction — translating complex investment capabilities into practical, high-conviction client conversations.

The ideal candidate will bring credibility across alternative investments, income-oriented solutions, active ETF implementation, and emerging portfolio structures. They will help position Janus Henderson as a forward-looking partner for advisors and institutions seeking differentiated sources of income, diversification, risk management, and scalable implementation across traditional and alternative allocations.

This is not a narrow product specialist role. It is a strategic growth role for someone who can connect investment insight, commercial judgment, client education, and innovation — helping shape how we bring alternatives, income, and ETF-based solutions to market.

• Ability to discuss portfolio construction across public equities, fixed income, alternatives, private markets, and income-oriented strategies
• Proven ability to simplify complex investment concepts for sophisticated advisor, platform, consultant, and institutional audiences
• Strong commercial instincts, executive presence, presentation skills, and ability to influence across internal and external stakeholders
• Track record of partnering effectively with sales, product, portfolio management, marketing, and leadership teams to drive business outcomes

• Familiarity with alternative access structures, interval funds, tender offer funds, BDCs, private funds, SMAs, ETFs, and model delivery frameworks

Responsibilities

• Serve as a senior subject matter expert across alternatives, private markets, income solutions, and non-traditional ETF strategies
• Lead client and advisor conversations on portfolio construction, alternative allocations, income generation, diversification, liquidity, access, and implementation
• Partner with sales, national accounts, model portfolio teams, product, portfolio management, ETF capital markets, and marketing to accelerate commercial adoption
• Help shape positioning for private credit, asset-backed finance, securitized credit, real assets, derivative income, structured outcomes, and hybrid public/private portfolio solutions
