Overview

We are seeking an accomplished investment professional to establish and lead a newly created Public Markets vertical for a globally oriented institutional investment fund based in the UAE. This role presents a rare opportunity to build a public markets platform from inception—starting with direct responsibility for a $100 million portfolio, and the mandate to scale it to over $1.5 billion over time, subject to performance.

Initially operating as a solo contributor, the selected candidate will be fully accountable for portfolio strategy, construction, and manager oversight. Upon demonstrating success, the individual will be empowered to expand the team to three professionals, creating a high-impact public markets function integrated into a broader, multi-asset institutional portfolio.

This is a strategically important position, offering both autonomy and visibility, with direct reporting to the Chief Investment Officer and collaboration with peers leading private equity, infrastructure, and other alternative asset classes.

Key Responsibilities

Public Markets Strategy & Vertical Leadership

• Define and implement the long-term strategy for public market investments across asset classes, aligned with the institution’s overall objectives, liquidity needs, and risk framework.
• Act as the founding leader of the new vertical, building governance, operating procedures, and long-term goals from the ground up.
• Collaborate with the CIO and other asset class leads to integrate public market exposures into the fund’s multi-asset allocation framework.
• Design and manage a global public markets portfolio comprising equities, fixed income, ETFs, and liquid alternatives.
• Set strategic asset allocation targets, return expectations, and dynamic positioning in response to market and macroeconomic trends.
• Establish performance benchmarks and risk-adjusted return goals to guide and assess investment activity.
