• Support the coordination of partner-led events, including materials preparation, firm communications, and post-event follow-up, in collaboration with the Partnerships and Events teams.
• Serve as a consistent point of contact for program participants on logistical and administrative matters, directing substantive coaching and advising questions to the appropriate team member or coach.

• Support the Associate Director in managing work streams across the Alternative Investments portfolio, tracking progress against program milestones, flagging risks or delays, and helping to keep deliverables on schedule.

  Alternative Investments and Investment Academy to support the pipeline for alternative investments roles, ensuring scheduling and logistics are aligned.
• Collaborate with coaches and AIFP mentors supporting the Alternative Investments programs — coordinating their schedules, managing session logistics, and tracking participation and completion — to ensure coaching is well-integrated and consistently delivered across the portfolio.
• Assist in the development and maintenance of program curriculum materials, sourcing publicly available resources and coordinating with third-party training providers as directed by the Associate Director and Senior Resident.
