Job description

About Bridgewater

Bridgewater Associates is a premier asset management firm focused on delivering unique insight and partnership for sophisticated global institutional investors. Our investment process is driven by a tireless pursuit to understand how the world's markets and economies work, using cutting edge technology to validate and execute on timeless and universal investment principles.

Our Culture

Our culture is anchored in excellence, meaning constant improvement, and deeply tied to our mission. Valuing truth means being transparent about decision‑making and mistakes, giving and receiving feedback with humility, and fighting for the best answers over hierarchy, ego, or self‑interest. Operating this way is hard – it becomes possible only because we build meaning in our work and relationships.

In 1997 our founder Ray Dalio wrote down his lessons, starting with a Philosophy Statement that remains our foundation. In 2022, when Ray transitioned the company, we re‑underwrote several principles and evolved others, focusing on Meritocracy. Today the culture sits as our most important edge, powering everything else.

About Your Role

• You will operate the systematized investment logic we use to create ideal portfolios for our clients.
• You will oversee processes that ingest updated market data along with our research view, apply portfolio construction logic, risk controls, and client constraints to determine ideal portfolios.
• You will oversee our logic for choosing which instruments we want to hold and deliver the trades necessary to implement our portfolios to our trading department.
• You will regularly communicate your understanding and assessment to senior investment managers, traders, and developers.
• You will partner with technologists and researchers to constantly improve processes, focusing on increasing efficiency or implementing new logic or portfolios.

Key Responsibilities

• Executing and overseeing the systematized logic we use to generate client portfolios and trades daily.
• Understanding and effectively communicating the state of those portfolios to senior investment teams and CIOs.
• Working with technologists and researchers to construct new investment implementation systems or overhaul old ones.
• Driving initiatives to improve the quality, reliability, and efficiency of the systems you own.
• Evolving the methods and best practices used by the broader investment community.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Analytical, highly logical, and structured.
• Deeply interested in understanding financial markets.
• Think in terms of systems and naturally look for ways to solve problems through the evolution of those systems.
• Hold a high degree of personal responsibility and ownership in everything you do.

Minimum Qualifications

• 4-year degree from an accredited undergraduate institution.
• 3+ years of relevant work experience at an investment bank or asset management firm.
• Experience with portfolio construction and risk management techniques.
