Experienced in managing and coordinating the end-to-end RFP and due diligence questionnaire (DDQ) process, and delivering timely, high-quality servicing to prospective and existing investors.
A data-driven thinker and can help map, track, and analyze investor engagement activity to support fundraising and relationship management efforts.
A proactive self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, collegial environment and is eager to build deeper expertise in infrastructure and real assets over time.
What you will do:
Own recurring deliverables for the Infrastructure & Real Assets practice across funds, separate accounts, and individual deals, including portfolio updates and reporting, presentation materials, DDQs, client reporting, and other ad hoc investor requests.

Ability to quickly understand complex topics, distill information into key insights, and communicate effectively to a variety of audiences.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly PowerPoint and Excel.
A foundational understanding of private markets terminology and performance metrics; familiarity with infrastructure and real assets is a plus, and we will help you build depth in the asset class.
