Position Description

PIMCO's Alternatives platform manages approximately $150 billion across a broad range of strategies and vehicle structures, including evergreen and closed-ended funds. The Alternatives Finance team is responsible for end-to-end financial oversight across the platform, including financial accounting and control, investor reporting, tax structuring and compliance, treasury and liquidity management, and oversight of operational workflows and third-party service providers.

The team operates within a highly visible business unit and partners closely with Portfolio Management, Finance, Accounting, Alternatives Business Management, Legal and Compliance, Fund Controllers, Governance Committees, and external service providers, with more limited engagement with Account Management. The group reports into the Executive Office.

As the platform continues to expand and evolve-across new fund structures, investment strategies, and distribution channels-we are seeking a high-caliber finance and accounting professional to join the team in a newly created role. In this role, you will establish end-to-end ownership of a critical financial function, sitting at the intersection of corporate accounting and cost allocation with responsibility for cross-functional execution. The function exists today, supported by third-party providers, and requires a seasoned professional to bring ownership, strengthen controls, and effectively drive execution as the platform scales.

The successful candidate will act as a business-facing owner of key processes-overseeing external service providers, enhancing operational efficiency, and leading strategic initiatives aligned with the firm's growth priorities. This role requires strong judgment, a proactive and resourceful mindset, and the ability to balance hands-on accounting expertise with program leadership and stakeholder management.

This is a high-impact role with significant visibility, offering the opportunity to own and scale a core function within one of the firm's key growth areas.
