Bridgewater Associates

About Bridgewater


Bridgewater Associates is a premier asset management firm, focused on delivering unique insight and partnership for the most 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.


Founded in 1975, we are a community of independent thinkers who share a commitment for excellence. By fostering a culture of openness, transparency, and inclusion, we strive to unlock the most complex questions in investment strategy, management, and corporate culture.


Explore more information about Bridgewater on our website here.



Our Culture


Our culture is anchored in excellence, meaning constant improvement, and it is deeply tied to our mission. Because markets are objective, competitive, and getting smarter everyday, we need to keep rapidly improving to have any chance of beating them. Truth is our most essential tool for engaging with the markets and constantly improving because once you know what's true about your problems and opportunities, you can determine how to get better. Valuing truth means being transparent about your 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's only possible because we build meaning in our work and relationships. This meaning comes from the audacity of the mission, and the joy of working alongside people who make you a better version of yourself. The culture, like Bridgewater itself, is always evolving. In 1997 our founder Ray Dalio wrote down his lessons, starting with a Philosophy Statement which remains our foundation. This later evolved into a set of 300+ Principles. In 2022, when Ray transitioned the company, we re-underwrote several of those principles and evolved others, with a specific focus on Meritocracy. Today the culture sits, alongside our people, as our most important edge. When we get it right, it's the engine that powers everything else.



About the Team


The Investment Recruiting team is responsible for attracting and engaging the world's best investment talent. In partnership with our business partners, we identify and cultivate relationships with high caliber talent and converts candidates to hires. Finding top talent not only sustains Bridgewater's position as one of the top investment management firms, but also positions the company for the continual innovation necessary to solve tomorrow's problems.



About Your Role


The goal of Bridgewater's recruiting department is to be the best talent acquisition organization in the world. Finding top talent not only sustains Bridgewater's position as one of the top investment management firms, but also positions the company for the continual innovation necessary to solve tomorrow's problems in a rapidly changing world. Bridgewater's recruiting department is responsible for partnering with a diverse set of internal business units to build and evolve their organizations by meeting their talent demands and cultivating an exceptional candidate experience.

Within the role, your primary responsibilities will include:

  • Partnering with your team to help create the best ways to find, attract, and assess talent
  • Ensuring candidates move through the recruiting process smoothly and efficiently
  • Engaging effectively with candidates, hiring managers, and external partners through strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Being a time management wizard, balancing deadlines and demands while organizing multiple streams of information
  • Tracking candidate data and event metrics, and analyzing this information to inform decisions
  • Building cross-departmental relationships and learning the company's internal systems
  • Thinking about the big picture - frequently stepping back to determine how you can systemize processes and categorize people for the benefit of your team and the entire organization

You'll click with us if you:

  • Thrive in fast-paced environments thanks to your agile mind, curiosity, and strong common sense
  • Are a jack/jill-of-all-trades who's willing to roll up your sleeves and do what it takes to get the job done
  • Are a natural "problem perceiver" - you can sense when something's gone awry and can quickly propose solutions to right the ship
  • Can keep track of many threads at once - you understand what must happen in a day, a week, a month while keeping the overall mission in mind
  • Are open-minded, appreciate direct feedback, and revel in intellectually rigorous environments
  • Are comfortable handling unexpected challenges and are willing to adjust your priorities based on changing needs

Minimum qualifications

  • A bachelor's degree with a strong academic record (any field of study)
  • 3+ years of professional experience

Physical requirements:


This role will follow a hybrid schedule, with an onsite requirement alternating between our NYC and Westport campuses.

  • Taking on larger and more complex projects as you learn from your manager and master the day-to-day responsibilities of your job, having more impact through time
  • Working within a department responsible for one of Bridgewater's top strategic priorities while getting to know different groups across the company - giving you a unique view of other Support & Coordination or Management roles you could explore in the future
