A successful candidate will be comfortable working with detailed financial, market, and portfolio data, and will be able to translate that information into clear insights for stakeholders.

The Asset Valuation team operates in a fast-paced environment where recurring deliverables, ad hoc requests, and process improvement efforts must be balanced effectively. The ideal candidate can take a high-level business question, determine the relevant data and analysis needed, and communicate the answer in a clear and actionable way.
