• Supporting the drafting of fund marketing documentation (introductory fliers, investor pitchbooks, generic DDQ)
• serving as point person / project manager for assigned funds or products, coordinating across fund teams, research, marketing, legal and compliance
• Track and report on capital raising progress and pipeline for assigned products, including management of CRM updates and leading internal product fundraising calls
• Organizing and coordinating investor due diligence meetings and related materials
• Liaising with our various operational, research and fund teams to create and maintain up-to-date product information and case studies for use by IR and other internal teams
• Conduct competitive research and market analysis on competing products, and research and build lists of penitential investors
• Proactively communicating status updates on all active workstreams to relevant stakeholders, closing the loop on deliverables and escalating decisions or issues that require senior input
• Partnering with IR colleagues in Chicago and our other offices around the world regarding best practices, information sharing and other relevant tasks
