Health benefits include medical, dental, vision, mental health support and additional ancillary insurance plans. Additional benefits include paid parental leave and a hybrid work schedule, promoting both personal and professional fulfillment. The salary for this position will be dependent on experience and location ($85,000–$120,000).

Our sustainability depends on us building and maintaining long‑term relationships with all our stakeholders – including our employees, clients, and local communities – while also reducing our impact on our natural environment. There is always more we can, and should do, to improve – whether in relation to our people, our clients, our planet, or our governance. Our ongoing success as a business depends on our sustainability and agility in a changing and challenging global landscape. We’re committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable and diverse culture for our people, led by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion steering committee. Our learning and development programmes and systems (including PowerU and MyCampus) enable us to invest in growing our employees’ careers, while our hybrid working approach supports our employees in achieving balance and flexibility while remaining connected to their colleagues. We want to empower our 6,500+ employees - from 94 nationalities, across 24 countries - to each achieve their potential. Through IQ‑EQ Launchpad we support women managers launching their first fund in an environment where only 15% of all private equity and venture capital firms are gender balanced. We’re committed to growing relationships with our clients and supporting them in achieving their objectives. We understand that our clients’ sustainability and success lead to our sustainability and success. We’re emotionally invested in our clients right from the beginning. #J-18808-Ljbffr
