The WSIB is seeking a qualified candidate to join our Tangible Assets team as an Assistant Senior Investment Officer (ASIO). This is a unique opportunity to join a globally recognized investment management organization.

The primary objective of the ASIO – Tangible Assets is ongoing selection, due diligence, and monitoring of individual tangible asset investments, while ensuring consistency with the State of Washington’s statutes, regulations, and Board policies.
 
The ASIO is expected to work with the highest standard of professional and ethical conduct, and for the exclusive benefit of WSIB beneficiaries. The position will assist the Senior Investment Officer – Tangible Assets (SIO) in prudently deploying the allocation the Board has established for tangible assets and implementing the annual plans and objectives for the unit with the intent to create a well-diversified and well-performing risk adjusted portfolio.  


The WSIB operates in a hybrid work environment and this position should anticipate 60% of their time in the office.

Duties

We are looking for a skilled investment professional with experience in infrastructure, energy, and natural resources; a self-starting, critical-thinking, principal investor interested in improved work/life balance while taking on the challenges associated with working for one of the world’s leading asset allocators. This position requires an independent performer who excels at building strong working relationships, and is a trustworthy professional who values diversity, equity, and inclusion.

IF SELECTED FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY, YOU WILL:
Actively participate in the development, recommendation, implementation, monitoring, and termination of investments in the tangible assets portfolio. Some of these duties include:

Assisting the SIO in the creation of innovative investment programs in areas often overlooked by traditional capital providers.   Mentoring and assisting with the skill-set development of less experienced team members. Performing all initial research and due diligence necessary to educate staff and the Board relative to non-traditional tangible assets investments. Monitoring current investments, reviewing partners' financial statements, and analyzing the results for acceptability, as well as identifying and reporting any potential problems or opportunities.   Reviewing potential investments for possible inclusion in the tangible assets portfolio; conduct robust due diligence efforts which includes general investment overview, document review, financial structure analysis, meetings with management, and the preparation/presentation of findings and conclusions to the appropriate investment committee following approval by the SIO.

 

Qualifications

COMPETITIVE APPLICANTS WILL HAVE:

Bachelor’s Degree coupled with 5 years' investment experience in tangible assets, specifically including infrastructure type assets and natural resources, preferably in an institutional investment setting.  

THE STRONGEST APPLICANT WILL HAVE:

CFA and/or CAIA Certification. Management Skills: The ability to participate in key relationships on behalf of the WSIB with partners, consultants, and attorneys; thus, excellent management skills such as planning, organizing, leadership, negotiation, time management, communication, mentoring, and problem solving are vital. Understanding of Portfolio Management: The ability to understand and recommend changes and enhancements to a diversified tangible assets portfolio. The ability to compare firms and investment opportunities based on investment, business, and operational risk assessments, and to evaluate teams and opportunities to meet risk and return objectives for the WSIB. Knowledge of Investment Vehicles: A working knowledge of, and experience with, the variety of ownership structures related to the private and public tangible investments and their associated legal documentation. This would include but not be limited to partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies, operating companies, and master limited partnerships.   Analytical Skills: The ability to analyze financial, economic, statistical, legal, accounting, market, and other matters quickly, efficiently, and accurately and to summarize those results. Financial Modeling Skills: The ability to objectively combine accounting, financing, and other business, and economic metrics to create an abstract representation of a company’s and/or assets’ future financial and liquidity position. Interpersonal Skills: The ability to foster an environment where investment officers feel included, which is critical to the success of the Tangible Assets unit. In addition, the ASIO will coordinate and facilitate workflow with a diverse group of external parties, including consultants, attorneys, managers, and general partners. Ability to effectively manage multiple projects simultaneously, often complicated by tight time frames and travel demands. Computer Skills: Proficiency in Word and Excel.
