Manage project tracking, version control, approvals, and handoffs across teams. Partner with Compliance to ensure all materials meet regulatory and brand standards prior to release. Work closely with portfolio managers, analysts, marketing, compliance, and operations to align on priorities and delivery expectations. Act as a trusted operational partner to the investment team, enabling them to focus on content and insights rather than logistics.
