Position Description

The Fund Treasurer's Office (FTO) is responsible for the governance, financial oversight, regulatory reporting, fund finance, and operational stewardship of PIMCO's public funds platform.  The team partners closely with Fund Accounting, Legal, Operations, Technology, and external service providers to support the effective management of mutual funds, ETFs, and other registered investment vehicles.  Key areas of focus include fund governance, financial reporting, regulatory reporting, controls, fund finance, and strategic operational initiatives.

 

We are seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented, and solutions-oriented finance professional to join the Fund Treasurer's Office and lead fund expense administration and reimbursement processing across PIMCO's public funds platform.

 

The immediate focus of the role will be driving backlog remediation, invoice processing, expense administration, and reimbursement activities across the platform while establishing a sustainable operating model for ongoing fund expense management.  Success in this role requires strong judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to interpret fund governing documents, legal agreements, and investment guidelines to determine the appropriate treatment and allocation of expenses across a wide range of investment vehicles.

 

The individual will partner closely with Legal, Accounting, Fund Treasury Operations, Alternatives Operations, Technology, and external service providers to resolve complex expense, accounting, and reimbursement matters while helping modernize fund expense management through process improvements, automation, and AI-enabled solutions.

 

While highly operational at first, the role requires significant judgment in evaluating expense eligibility, allocation methodology, reimbursement treatment, and compliance with fund governing documents.  This role offers a unique opportunity to gain broad exposure across public funds, private funds, and alternative investments while gaining deep knowledge of portfolio investments and finance operations.  As PIMCO continues to evolve its operating model across traditional and alternative investment strategies, this position provides significant visibility and the opportunity to develop expertise across fund finance, operations, expense governance, and process transformation.  Over time, the role may expand into broader fund finance, fund treasury, fund operations, or fund controller responsibilities based on business needs and individual development.
