What it’s about
Based in Partners Group’s fast-growing Broomfield-based Americas headquarters, you will be part of a global proposal management and content marketing team. This is an exciting opportunity to join a Switzerland-based global investment management firm with European roots that is quickly expanding into the US market. The firm recently opened its state-of-the-art campus in Broomfield, which is one of the largest offices of the firm. The position represents an opportunity to get in on the ground level of the firm’s key growth initiative in the US.
The team works closely with fundraising professionals and client relationship managers and is responsible for coordinating and writing responses to requests for proposals (RFPs) and other proposal documents and written marketing materials (DDQs, RFIs, etc.). A key aspect of the role is to ensure that the company and its products are professionally and accurately described, and that proposals clearly demonstrate the firm’s ability to meet clients’ specific requirements. The successful candidate will be able to develop and maintain written content that demonstrates the firm’s competitive advantages and positions its products and corporate platform in a highly differentiated manner.
The position is expected to grow into a value-adding internal subject matter expert across the firm’s corporate functions, asset classes and products, providing advice and guidance to client-facing professionals on the use of specific content across all types of submissions. The role is highly interactive and will include extensive collaboration with teams across the organization, including investment professionals, product management, portfolio and risk management, legal and structuring, among other corporate departments. Responsibilities include:
- Write tailored, persuasive and high-quality proposals to support the firm’s fundraising efforts across the globe; utilize the firm’s tools and databases and collaborate with teams across the organization to source detailed inputs to craft differentiated, well positioned responses; ensure that questions are comprehensively answered and that written responses are appropriately customized for the specific opportunity.
- Manage a structured, organized proposal development process that incorporates stakeholder inputs, reviews and strict client-driven deadlines
- Develop a strong knowledge base of the firm’s products, asset classes, investment approach and other aspects of the corporate platform to effectively understand and respond to client requests
- Support client relationship managers with written proposals, as well as respond to ad-hoc requests for information
- Coordinate and liaise with various teams and specialists within the firm to develop and maintain accurate and up-to-date written material and other marketing collateral
- Initiate, participate and lead projects within the team to help support and build out the firm’s proposal development process and a range of other marketing materials (e.g., database maintenance, updating standardized content, etc.)
What we expect
- A bachelor’s degree in marketing, finance, management, journalism, public relations, or business administration; the ideal candidate will have a combination of finance and marketing communications in their background
