Portfolio Implementation Associates develop a deep understanding of AB's investment products, portfolio management processes, and operational infrastructure while gaining hands-on experience managing portfolios in a fast-paced investment environment.

Specific Responsibilities

•Implement investment decisions across individual equity portfolios.

•Monitor portfolio positioning, trade execution, cash levels, and compliance with client-specific investment guidelines.

•Manage client requests and portfolio events throughout the account lifecycle, including cash flows, transitions, account openings, and account closures.

•Support a high volume of portfolio activity and client specific requests while maintaining strong attention to accuracy, risk management, and client outcomes.

•Partner with Senior Portfolio Managers, Research Analysts, Legal/Compliance, Sales, Trading, and Investment Operations/Accounting.

•Participate in projects focused on portfolio implementation, new and evolving investment capabilities, technology and automation, scalability, and process improvement.

•Identify opportunities to improve existing processes, controls, and portfolio implementation workflows.

What We're Looking For:

•Bachelor’s degree in business, finance, economics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, liberal arts, or a related field.

•2 - 4 years of experience in wealth management, investment operations, or a related financial-services role preferred.

•Experience supporting U.S. equities, portfolio implementation, or investment-product processes is a plus.

•A technical background or experience working with data and analytical tools, such as AI Tools, SQL and Power BI, is helpful.

•A strong interest in financial markets, investment management, and portfolio construction.

•Strong quantitative and analytical skills with the ability to evaluate portfolios and identify potential issues.

•Excellent attention to detail and a strong risk-management mindset.

•The ability to prioritize and manage multiple responsibilities effectively in a deadline-driven environment.

•Strong interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to build effective relationships across the organization.

•The ability to think holistically, understand end-to-end processes, and challenge existing approaches when appropriate.

•A proactive, inquisitive mindset and willingness to take ownership of new challenges.

•An interest in using technology and automation to improve investment and operational processes.
