RESPONSIBILITIES AND QUALIFICATIONS

Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM) is looking for an attorney with asset management experience (e.g. registered investment companies (including mutual funds, ETFs and closed end funds), separately managed accounts and model delivery portfolios distributed through broker-dealers, registered investment advisers and technology platforms, related investment advisory and/or private fund matters). The role will be within the Asset and Wealth (AWM) legal team and will focus on product development and distribution of registered funds, discretionary separately managed accounts and non-discretionary model portfolios which generally invest in securities in the public markets (equity and debt as well as other asset classes such as credit, real estate, infrastructure and impact investing). The attorney will support various portfolio management teams on negotiating investment management agreements with large institutional clients (including corporate and public pension plans).

This is an exciting opportunity for an attorney with asset management experience, a desire to help the businesses we support evolve and a curiosity for expanding their area of expertise.
