About Bridgewater

Bridgewater Associates is a premier asset management firm, focused on delivering unique insight and partnership for the most sophisticated global institutional investors.

Our investment process is driven by a tireless pursuit to understand how the world's markets and economies work – using cutting edge technology to validate and execute on timeless and universal investment principles.

Founded in 1975, we are a community of independent thinkers who share a commitment for excellence. By fostering a culture of openness, transparency, and inclusion, we strive to unlock the most complex questions in investment strategy, management, and corporate culture.

Our culture is anchored in excellence, meaning constant improvement, and it is deeply tied to our mission. Because markets are objective, competitive, and getting smarter everyday, we need to keep rapidly improving to have any chance of beating them. Truth is our most essential tool for engaging with the markets and constantly improving because once you know what's true about your problems and opportunities, you can determine how to get better.

Valuing truth means being transparent about your decision-making and mistakes, giving and receiving feedback with humility, and fighting for the best answers over hierarchy, ego, or self-interest. Operating this way is hard – it's only possible because we build meaning in our work and relationships. This meaning comes from the audacity of the mission, and the joy of working alongside people who make you a better version of yourself.

The culture, like Bridgewater itself, is always evolving.

In 1997 our founder Ray Dalio wrote down his lessons, starting with a Philosophy Statement which remains our foundation. This later evolved into a set of 300+ Principles. In 2022, when Ray transitioned the company, we re-underwrote several of those principles and evolved others, with a specific focus on Meritocracy. Today the culture sits, alongside our people, as our most important edge.

When we get it right, it's the engine that powers everything else.

The goal of Client Service is to build and grow meaningful relationships with the world's largest, most sophisticated investors and help clients achieve their goals through high-quality return streams and tailored insights. To this end, we deeply understand the global pools of capital, develop strategies to effectively develop relationships, and partner with clients on their most difficult investment and portfolio construction problems.

We help our clients broaden their understanding of our investment process, strategies and performance as well as deepen their understanding of financial markets more generally.

The Management Partner (MP) is a vital role on the Client Service & Marketing's Advisory management team. The Advisory business is at the center of Bridgewater's commercial engine, responsible for building and maintaining relationships with Bridgewater's most sophisticated institutional clients.

• Operational management – the MP will collaborate directly with a Senior Commercial Leader in our Advisory business, internalizing their strategic priorities, cultivating the project plan to deliver it, and supervising the execution to achieve the necessary impact on client relationships and commercial objectives. This includes visualizing the team's roadmap and key milestones, rigorously measuring and reporting against them, diagnosing deviations, and holding others accountable to standards of excellence across commercial outcomes, client coverage quality, and operational health of the book.
• Talent Management – the MP supports the team's senior leaders to develop and drive the team's talent strategy, including the proposal for team design and employee life cycle management, which will take the form of both direct management (team of 3-4 reports at the Associate level) and dotted-line supervision of more senior team members, operating as an extension of the Senior Commercial Leader.
