  • A minimum of 8 years of experience in an asset management or financial management company in an analytical or sales position.

  • Proficiency in Spanish is required; Portuguese language skills are a plus.

  • Familiarity with Bloomberg is advantageous.

  • Outstanding attention to detail and process; highly professional, organized, and committed to excellence.
