  • Senior Stakeholder Management: Partner directly with the Global Heads of Public Investing Businesses (Fixed Income, Fundamental Equity, QES, QIS) and Business COOs to translate high‑level vision into actionable business plans.
  • Cross‑Divisional Synergy: Lead collaboration with Sales, Engineering, Legal, and Compliance to ensure the infrastructure for product growth is robust, scalable, and compliant.
  • KPI & Performance Governance: Establish and oversee metrics for success across strategic initiatives, providing transparent reporting on progress against financial and commercial goals.

  • 10‑12+ years of experience in Asset Management, Transformation, Operations, Management Consulting, or Corporate Strategy with a proven track record of executing complex business initiatives.
  • Execution Mindset: A delivery‑first approach with the ability to manage multiple high‑priority workstreams in a fast‑paced, high‑pressure environment.
  • Leadership & Influence: Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to influence senior Partners and Managing Directors across different functional areas.
  • Problem Solving: Advanced ability to operate in ambiguity and navigate the gray space of a global organization to find creative solutions to institutional hurdles.
  • Communication: Ability to distill complex strategic concepts into executive‑level presentations and briefing materials for Board‑level consumption.

The Culture

Goldman Sachs values excellence, integrity, and transparency. As a senior member of the team you will mentor junior talent (Analysts and Associates), fostering a diverse and inclusive environment that values the power of the team over the individual.
