This position will supervise a direct report and will be based in the New York office. The firm’s Marketing and Business Development professionals predominantly operate in a remote fashion, but the firm expects their team members to be able travel into an office 1-2 times a month for meetings and events.

This is a great opportunity for someone at the Manager level, who is looking for an opportunity to have direct line management and strategic oversight responsibilities in their day-to-day.
