Sacramento, California, United States California State Teachers' Retirement System Full time

The CalSTRS Investments Branch is seeking an experienced individual to work as an Investment Officer II, CalSTRS on the Investment Strategy and Risk team.

The Investment Strategy & Risk (ISR) team's primary goal is to improve the risk-adjusted returns of the CalSTRS portfolio through a total fund approach with smart rebalancing, risk management and the inclusion of alternative investments and overlay strategies. Due to CalSTRS being a mature pension fund with negative cash flows, tighter cash management with efficient rebalancing and total fund management are increasingly important to fund performance. The ISR team focuses on the longer-term asset liability management and shorter-term tactical fund positioning with risk budgeting.

Under the general direction of the Associate Portfolio Manager in Investment Strategy & Risk, the Investment Officer II is responsible for quantitative modeling to support the management of the overall CalSTRS fund. The Investment Officer II serves as a quantitative resource to manage total fund risk and liquidity, source ideas for tactical asset allocation, implement strategies to improve the total fund risk-return profile, and manage the strategic asset allocation. The position requires the ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a diverse, cross-functional team.

The ideal candidate will possess the following skills:

  • Undergraduate or advanced degree in statistics, economics, mathematics, and/or similar technical field
  • Ability to implement quantitative models spanning optimization, machine learning and simulation
  • Proficiency with statistical software packages such as R or Python
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel & VBA
  • Investment experience within a large financial institution, pension fund, endowment or foundation
  • Knowledge of investment principles and trends across multi-asset classes, both public and private
  • Strong understanding of quantitative research process and methods to produce and interpret information
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate effectively with individuals across a broad spectrum of disciplines
  • Ability to organize research, summarize and convey complex concepts in a consistent, sensible and approachable manner without loss of technical integrity
  • Ability to work effectively as an individual and as part of a team to support team, unit, and Investments Branch goals
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills

    Additional Salary Information:
    • An incumbent who possesses a professional certification as a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) may receive a 5% monthly base pay differential.
    • Every 12 months, based on performance evaluation, employees may receive a 5% salary increase until they reach the maximum salary for the position.
    • The Investment Officer II, CalSTRS position is eligible for incentive compensation and has a maximum incentive opportunity of 10% of base salary.
