Job description

PIMCO is a global leader in active fixed income with deep expertise across public and private markets. We invest our clients’ capital across a range of fixed income and credit opportunities, leveraging our decades of experience navigating complex debt markets.

We believe each of us is here to help others succeed and this has led to PIMCO being recognized as an innovator, industry thought leader and trusted advisor to our clients. Position Description PIMCO is seeking an Account Manager to join our Institutional Corporate Client Group. This role is structured for a recent MBA graduate (completed within the last 5 years) who is looking to build a long-term career in institutional client coverage within a leading global asset manager. PIMCO’s client management team is comprised of client-facing relationship management and sales professionals (Account Managers) who are directly responsible for contributing to the firm’s success through a combination of client relationship management and business development initiatives. Account Managers represent PIMCO to our clients and prospective clients and seek to deliver investment solutions that leverage PIMCO’s position as one of the world’s premier fixed income and alternative investment managers.

Over time, the role offers increasing opportunities for direct client interaction. Initially, your focus will be on developing a strong understanding of your clients’ objectives, portfolios, and priorities, and on helping translate PIMCO’s investment perspectives—macroeconomic views, portfolio positioning, and performance—into materials and insights that support client discussions. While senior Account Managers lead overall relationship strategy, you will play an important role in supporting those efforts as you build the foundation to contribute more directly in the future.

Partner with investment teams to prepare for client meetings, quarterly reviews, and strategic portfolio discussions. Support a high volume of deliverables across multiple mandates, maintaining consistency, quality, and attention to detail under tight timelines.
