As a private partnership, we believe our ownership structure fosters a long-term view that aligns our perspectives with those of our clients.

POSITION

Wellington currently manages $525 billion in fixed income assets on behalf of our clients worldwide. Within our fixed income group, the Emerging Markets Debt (EMD) book of business is large, diverse and growing, and today totals $32.5 billion. To ensure we continue to exceed our clients' investment expectations, we are seeking to recruit an experienced Portfolio Manager to join our EMD portfolio management team to be based in Boston or London. Specifically, this individual will provide directional expertise and both long and short idea generation in a subset of portfolios across the book of business. The ideal candidate will be highly networked in policy circles (e.g., DC, Brussels, the IMF), have a strong understanding of central bank policies around the globe, and be able to work collaboratively with team analysts to dig deeply into high-risk countries.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS

• Investment acumen and track record - The Portfolio Manager will have deep global macroeconomic expertise, a policy-driven mindset, and a demonstrated track record of expressing macro-oriented views in the market that translate into positive alpha in portfolios.

Furthermore, the Portfolio Manager will be able to implement those ideas through a highly analytical and detailed approach.
• Superior collaboration skills - The successful candidate will enjoy being an individual contributor within a highly collaborative team and embrace the benefits of overlapping lines of idea generation. The Portfolio Manager will build strong trusting relationships internally with colleagues. The ability to take risk and challenge investment views is critical, as is the humility to admit mistakes and a desire to learn from others; the Portfolio Manager must recognize the benefits of diverse perspectives. The ability to communicate (both verbally and in writing) action-oriented opinions clearly and with conviction and contribute to an open investment dialogue is important.
