The ideal candidate should possess a strong, demonstrated interest in financial markets, experience in investments or a related field, a sharp quantitative and analytical skill set, a commitment to continuous process improvement, and exceptional attention to detail.

The strongest candidates pair innate curiosity and open-mindedness with a proven ability to work independently and with exceptional attention to detail.


This is a full-time position with an anticipated starting annual base salary range of $95,000 - $105,000 at the time of this posting. Annual salary is a part of Investure's overall compensation and benefits package; full-time positions are typically eligible for discretionary components including merit-based performance bonus, portfolio bonus (based on firm performance), and employer 401k contribution, among other benefits such as group health insurance. The annual base salary range for this position is a guideline and not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in determining base salary include (but are not limited to) position responsibilities, individual education/qualifications, general and role-specific experience, knowledge, skills and other abilities, as well as internal equity, geographic location, and alignment with market data.
