Position: Account Associate

The Account Associate Group serves a unique and dynamic role that is based around the core responsibility of servicing PIMCO’s institutional clients. The individuals that make up this team work within the broader account management group to ensure delivery of the highest level of service to clients. The primary responsibility of the associate we seek is to work alongside the account managers in gathering, analyzing, and discussing economic and fixed income trends, evaluating portfolio structures, and delivering attribution analyses to other investment professionals and clients. The Associate would have more direct interaction on a daily basis with the financial advisors of our Latin American distribution partners (such as Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, UBS, Morgan Stanley, etc). We expect he/she could quickly become the point person for the daily interaction.
In addition to client servicing responsibilities, most members of the group participate in the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) program through the CFA Institute.
