Analyst, Investments

The Team

Across our work in Science, Education, and within our communities, we pair technology with grantmaking and collaboration to help accelerate the pace of progress toward our mission. Our Investment team provides the support needed to push this work forward. 

The investment team's goal is to manage the investment portfolio to fund CZI’s ongoing operations over the long term. The investment program pursues a “manager of managers” approach, scouring the globe to find extraordinary investment organizations that invest across a wide spectrum of styles and asset classes. 

The Opportunity

CZI’s investment analyst program offers the unique opportunity to learn about the world of investing. The investment team seeks to build a portfolio that will deliver superior risk-adjusted returns to fund CZI’s ongoing operations. We pursue a manager of managers approach, seeking out exceptional partners that invest across geographies into public equities, hedge funds, leveraged buyouts, venture capital, and real assets. Investment analysts will have broad exposure to all asset classes, while focusing on a subset day-to-day.

Investment analysts enjoy early responsibility, work directly with senior staff, and are engaged in all aspects of the investment process from day one. This includes traveling to participate in meetings with world-class investment managers, closely monitoring existing investments, and helping manage and report on the portfolio as a whole. 

We are looking for intellectually curious candidates with an interest in investing, exceptional communication skills, and a desire to work collaboratively as part of a team. We value thoughtfulness, analytical rigor, and the pursuit of excellence.

Please note that CZI also has a separate team that makes mission-aligned impact venture investments. That work sits outside of the Investments function.
