"Associate Director, Investments"

The Associate Director of Investments is a key member of the investment team responsible for managing the endowment of Mount Holyoke College, the oldest continuing women’s college in the US. The investment office is based in Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA and was formed in 2020 to oversee the $1 billion endowment, which is a critical resource for the College providing significant support to operations and financial aid.

The office is looking to add an investor to its tightknit team, currently comprised of the CIO, a director of investments, and an analyst.
