• assist with the ongoing monitoring of approved managers and funds by reviewing portfolio updates, tracking key developments, and summarizing takeaways from manager meetings and reporting
• help manage the team's pipeline of prospective and approved investment funds by maintaining due diligence materials, tracking key milestones and deliverables, monitoring fund performance data, and ensuring investment information is current and readily available for ongoing reviews
• work closely with colleagues across Investment Due Diligence, Operational Due Diligence, Product Development, Legal, and Compliance to support platform initiatives and the ongoing management of the Alternative Investments platform

We operate as one global organization, with streams aligned to each of UBS's key business and functional areas. You'll be based in New York City while being connected to colleagues around the world.
