The Investment Office oversees The Museum of Modern Art’s Endowment and Pension and advises on the retirement plan. The Investment Office works closely with senior leadership of the Museum across all functions. The Museum’s $1.9 billion investment portfolio supports the Museum’s mission by providing a reliable source of funds for current and future use. The Endowment provides a major source of revenue for the Museum and is stewarded by a fourteen-person Investment Committee.
Reporting to and working closely with the Chief Investment Officer and collaborating across the Investment Office, the Associate Director/Director of Investments will be involved in all aspects of managing the Endowment and Pension Plan. These include sourcing, evaluating, recommending, and monitoring investments across asset classes, conducting research into trends and opportunities, and developing asset class strategies. The Investment Office is seeking excellent candidates with a range of experience for this new role and would consider individuals at an Associate Director to Director level that would best complement the cohesive four-person team.
While the responsibilities for an Associate Director and Director are similar in nature, a Director would bring more investment diligence and supervisory experience, deeper relationships, broader asset class knowledge and strong investment judgment.
