Portfolio Management Associate

Position Overview

ABOUT THE FUND

Apollo Aligned Alternatives Fund (AAA) is Apollo's flagship vehicle providing institutional and individual investors with access to private market opportunities by investing alongside Apollo's balance sheet. With a highly diversified "go anywhere" mandate, AAA targets equity-like returns with relatively lower volatility and currently manages $27 billion in net asset value, one of the largest funds of its kind in the market.

AAA expands on an alternatives strategy that Apollo and Athene have executed successfully for over a decade, spanning private credit, equity, real assets, and opportunistic investments across the capital structure.

T HE ROLE

The AAA team is small and centrally positioned within Apollo's broader organization. This role sits at the heart of that work, with direct exposure to senior leadership and the Investment Committee from day one.

Day-to-day, you'll work across quantitative analysis, portfolio management, and strategic initiatives, often in the same week. The work spans building risk attribution tools, synthesizing investment data, and preparing materials that inform how the fund is positioned and performing.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Core responsibilities:

• Support top-down fund-level portfolio construction, including asset allocation analysis, factor modeling, portfolio optimization, and investment cash flow modeling.
• Perform performance attribution and risk analysis across portfolio cuts and asset classes
• Develop and maintain quantitative tools and models in Excel and Python to support portfolio management and risk monitoring
• Synthesize information across investments and underlying funds to inform portfolio-level views

You'll also:

• Interface with the Investment Committee and senior management to communicate exposures and develop investment theses
• Partner with various asset management and deal teams at Apollo on investment implementation
• Translate complex quantitative analysis into clear, actionable insights for senior leadership and external stakeholders
• Support investor materials and client meetings, IC presentations, and strategic initiatives as they arise

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

This role is well-suited for someone who thinks like an investor but works like an analyst, comfortable building quantitative frameworks and equally comfortable using them to form a view. Backgrounds we've found succeed here include:

• Portfolio management, risk, or quant research: experience with factor models, performance attribution, or risk analytics
• Fixed income or macro/asset allocation: comfort working across asset classes with a top-down lens
• Hedge fund or asset management analytics: familiarity with multi-strategy portfolios and fund-level dynamics
• Private markets experience: preferred, but not required

Qualifications & Experience

• 2-5 years of relevant professional experience in an investing or analytical role
• Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, mathematics, statistics, engineering, or a related quantitative field; MBA or advanced degree welcome
• Strong financial modeling skills; experience with performance attribution and risk analytics required
• Excel proficiency required; Python experience a plus. Intellectual horsepower, ability to learn quickly, and willingness to grow technically matters more than current tooling.
• A clear communicator who can translate quantitative complexity into actionable insight
• Collaborative and proactive, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
