Managing Director, CAIA Curriculum

The Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst Association (“CAIA Association” or “CAIA”) is a global professional body dedicated to creating greater alignment, transparency, and knowledge for all investors, including savers, beneficiaries and the general  public, with a specific emphasis on alternative investments. As the ultimate goal of the financial markets is to efficiently allocate investment capital to the most socially and economically-sound opportunities, it follows that diversification across the full-risk  premia spectrum, including private asset classes, is a founding principle of proper fiduciary responsibility. With strong evidence that professional and patient capital allocation serves to catalyze innovation, cultivate societal wealth, and ultimately contribute to more healthy and inclusive economic growth, the CAIA Association advocates for a sustainable, long-term and fair capital markets system that will improve investment and societal outcomes. With the aspiration to be the alternative investment industry’s “operating system,” CAIA Association supports the often-overlooked space between asset managers and the end investors.

CAIA’s mission obligates the organization and its Members to acclimate to a dynamically changing world and investment profession. CAIA is committed to providing world-class education and thought leadership, improving transparency, and raising ethical and professional standards, all to ensure underlying investors’ interests are paramount. CAIA’s unique professional program places the CAIA Candidate in the chair of the capital allocator while assuring clients and the profession benefit from well-trained and ethically-sound investment professionals to steward their wealth and retirement. Located in the Americas or EMEA and reporting to CAIA’s Executive Vice President, the Managing Director, CAIA Curriculum is an outstanding opportunity for an innovative leader with a strong understanding of global investment industry markets, trends and asset classes and excellent communication and presentation skills to source, develop, and create a world-class curriculum for the CAIA Programs.
