As part of a team of six professionals, your role will be split across performance management and investment risks, and cover our three businesses - hedge funds, private equity and real estate (both direct and fund of funds), including mandates.
As such, you will be responsible for:
• Managing one team member with a view to automating existing processes and developing new analytics.
• Devising and implementing a methodology to assess performance (including benchmarking, peer grouping, etc.) and investment risks for the three businesses.
• Managing and documenting reporting processes.
• Producing quarterly performance data to be presented to PAA and Pictet Governing bodies.
• Preparing investment risk review (IRR) meetings to cover all risks and performance topics.
• Where relevant:
• Providing PAA management (Board, ExCo, etc.), investment teams or other stakeholders with ad-hoc analysis, as necessary.
• Attending meetings of a number of internal committees of PAA or the wider Group; especially those associated with the Group's risk community.
• University degree in a quantitative subject such as engineering or maths.
• At least 10 years' experience in the field of investment risk or performance, gained with an asset manager or an alternative investment firm - ideally with a focus on private equity/private real estate funds (direct or fund investment).
• Excellent knowledge of investment risk management and performance techniques and methodologies.
• In-depth knowledge of the regulatory environment for risk and performance applicable to alternative investments.
• You are well acquainted with alternative funds (private equity, real estate and hedge funds) and understand the specific issues linked to them.
• Attention to detail, rigor and accuracy come naturally to you.
• Good knowledge of private assets data (such as Burgiss, Preqin and/or Cambridge Associates) and tools would be an asset.
• Good knowledge of French would be an asset.
As a strong team player, you will bring energy, proactivity and enthusiasm to your work and be rigorous in your approach. One of your key priorities will be to add value to the Risk & Compliance team by bringing innovative ideas and improvements to the function. Strong organisational skills and the ability to multi-task and work to tight deadlines will be key to success. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain exposure and insight into a wide range of asset classes, fund strategies and operating models, to join a fast growing business and to work in an intellectually challenging environment.
