Position Description

We are open to considering candidates at various levels of expertise, and the salary range for this position will be commensurate with individual experience and qualifications.

We are seeking an experienced Alternative Investments Specialist (AIS) to join the U.S. Global Wealth Management (GWM) team. This role offers a dynamic opportunity within a rapidly expanding segment of GWM, partnering closely with Field Sales and Private Client Group (PCG) Account Managers and Account Associates—who own the advisor relationships—to help scale PIMCO's alternatives distribution strategy in the West Region. As a dedicated subject matter expert, you will bring deep alternatives expertise into client and prospect meetings, pipeline discussions, and business planning sessions, educating advisors on PIMCO's alternative products, platforms, investment themes, and market strategies.
