The CalSTRS Investments Branch is seeking an experienced individual to work as a Portfolio Manager on the Sustainable Investment & Stewardship Strategies (SISS) team.

The Sustainable Investment & Stewardship Strategies (SISS) unit was initially established in 1978 to protect assets through good governance and operational accountability.

The SISS unit also leads multiple efforts across the Investments Branch, including the Net Zero Portfolio Emissions Strategy, which includes reducing financed emissions, increasing investment in low-carbon solutions, and using CalSTRS influence to accelerate the transition to a net zero global economy.

Under the direction of the Senior Portfolio Manager (SPM) of Sustainable Investment & Stewardship Strategies (SISS), the Portfolio Manager (PM) manages and provides a high level of expertise and leadership to the SISS team and Investment Branch. This position provides expert knowledge, analysis and research that supports the CalSTRS Stewardship Program, the SISS Public and Private Portfolios and provides critical subject matter expertise on a wide variety of sustainability considerations affecting the CalSTRS fund, with a focus on the net zero transition.

The ideal candidate will possess the following skills:

  • Strong understanding of market trends, ability to research and provide analysis based on organization's needs
  • Demonstrated commitment to creating and sustaining a diverse, inclusive and equitable workplace.
  • Strong connections within the sustainable investment industry with peers and partners.
  • Ability to manage and build new strategic relationships and partnerships.
  • Ability to foster diversity and inclusion while empowering a team to achieve professional growth and business objectives.
  • Ability to collaborate with CalSTRS senior management to implement Investment Branch strategic initiatives.
  • Ability to work cross functionally with other CalSTRS business areas and asset classes.
  • Ability to work independently, as well as a member of a team.
  • Ability to build and maintain relationships with internal employees and external parties.
  • Ability to adapt to changes in priorities, assignments, and other interruptions which may impact pre-established timelines and courses of action.
  • Ability to demonstrate a high degree of initiative, professionalism, confidentiality, and ability to work well under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, attention to detail, and organizational skills.

An incumbent who possesses a professional certification in one of the following designations: Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM), Financial Risk Manager (FRM), Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA) or Chartered Alternative Investment Analysts (CAIA) may receive a 5% monthly base pay differential.
