In an environment defined by volatility, complexity, and accelerating change, investment leadership has become one of the most consequential functions in the enterprise. We are seeking a Chief Investment Officer (CIO) to lead capital strategy, portfolio construction, and long-term investment performance for a large, sophisticated organization managing substantial assets across public and private markets.
This role is designed for a senior investment executive who understands how to balance risk, return, liquidity, and time horizon at scale. The CIO will own the enterprise investment mandate, guiding asset allocation, manager selection, and portfolio strategy to support long-term objectives while navigating market cycles and structural shifts.
As a core member of the executive leadership team, the CIO will partner closely with the CEO, CFO, Board, and Investment Committee to ensure capital is deployed with discipline, foresight, and accountability. You will lead a diverse portfolio spanning traditional and alternative assets, oversee external managers and internal teams, and establish governance that enables both agility and control.
This is not a caretaker role focused solely on performance reporting. It is a mandate to build investment management as a strategic enterprise capability, one that preserves capital, generates sustainable returns, and supports the organization’s long-term mission.
Define and execute the enterprise investment strategy aligned with long-term objectives and risk tolerance.
Oversee asset allocation, portfolio construction, and rebalancing across public and private markets.
Lead manager selection, evaluation, and oversight for external investment partners.
Establish investment governance frameworks, policies, and risk management standards.
Monitor market trends, macroeconomic conditions, and emerging investment opportunities.
Partner with Finance leadership to align liquidity, capital needs, and investment strategy.
Present portfolio performance, risk exposure, and strategic recommendations to the Board and Investment Committee.
Drive diversification, downside protection, and long-term value creation.
Build, lead, and develop a high-performing investment team.
Ensure compliance with regulatory, fiduciary, and internal governance requirements.
15+ years of senior investment leadership experience in asset management, institutional investing, or related environments.
Proven track record managing large, diversified portfolios across multiple asset classes.
Deep expertise in public markets, private equity, real assets, and alternative investments.
Experience working directly with Boards and Investment Committees.
Strong understanding of risk management, portfolio construction, and performance attribution.
Demonstrated ability to lead through market cycles and periods of uncertainty.
Bachelor’s degree required; MBA, CFA, or equivalent credentials strongly preferred.
Enterprise-level strategic thinker with disciplined investment judgment.
Executive presence with credibility among Board members and senior stakeholders.
Calm, decisive leader in volatile and high-pressure market conditions.
Highly analytical with strong quantitative and qualitative assessment skills.
Independent thinker balanced by collaborative decision-making.
Strong communicator who translates complex investment concepts into clear insight.
Serve as a trusted advisor to the CEO and Board on capital allocation and long-term investment strategy.
Support enterprise strategy, growth initiatives, and financial resilience planning.
Partner with Finance on liquidity planning and balance-sheet optimization.
Collaborate with Risk and Compliance on governance and fiduciary oversight.
Support M&A activity, strategic investments, and portfolio repositioning initiatives.
Hybrid executive work environment with global investment responsibility.
Regular engagement with Board members, Investment Committee, and senior executives.
Periodic domestic and international travel for manager meetings and market engagement.
