Role overview

A leading private equity / asset management firm is expanding its Portfolio Operations capability.

Candidates will be considered at one of three levels based on experience and scope:

Program Manager – senior, autonomous leader for complex, multi-partner programs.

Assistant Program Manager – coordinator/analyst who consolidates reporting, governance, and scheduling across workstreams.

Project Manager – delivers individual project components and workstreams within the program.
