• act as the central point of coordination between client coverage, investment teams, group operations and technology, and internal subject-matter experts
• design, pitch, and represent customised investment solutions across traditional and alternative asset classes and strategies, delivered via advisory or discretionary mandates
• develop and maintain deep expertise across UBS Asset Management’s investment capabilities, including strategic and tactical asset allocation, portfolio construction and structuring, manager research and selection, and risk frameworks and quantitative methodologies
• contribute to the creation of high-quality investment content for proposals, client presentations, marketing materials, and thought leadership
• represent UBS Partnership Solutions internally and externally through client meetings, roadshows, webinars, and investment forums.
