Job Description

Public Investment Analyst

We are seeking to hire an Investment Analyst to join our Public Investments Team as a part of our Investment Analyst Program. Investment Analysts are involved in all aspects of the investment process including asset allocation, portfolio construction, manager selection, and portfolio monitoring. The Investment Analyst Program offers a unique opportunity for early-career investment professionals to gain experience working closely with senior management in a small, team-oriented environment.

UNC Management Company, Inc. ("UNCMC") is a leading investment management firm based in Chapel Hill, NC established to invest exclusively on behalf of the University of North Carolina System in support of its educational and research mission. We currently manage over $13 billion in assets that are primarily invested with external investment managers. We invest around the world across a diversified mix of traditional (e.g., stock picking) and alternative (e.g., hedge funds, venture capital) asset classes and have a proven record of success with performance ranking in the top quartile relative to our college and university endowment peers.

UNCMC's Investment Team consists of: Public Investments, Private Investments, and Investment Strategy & Risk Management. All members of the Investment Team, including analysts, participate in internal investment committee meetings and are encouraged to formulate and voice independent opinions, regardless of experience.

The Public Investments Team is responsible for managing allocations to domestic and international public equities, hedge funds, and fixed income.

This is an entry-level analytical position designed for professionals with foundational quantitative experience generally acquired in the first few years of work experience in investment banking or similarly rigorous analytical environments. Investment Analysts receive intensive in-house and external investment management experience and gain exposure across the UNCIF portfolio by interacting with some of the world's premier investment managers.

You will:

  • Support the sourcing, underwriting, execution, and ongoing monitoring of investment opportunities
  • Monitor existing manager relationships, including reviewing reports, participating in update calls, and attending meetings
  • Perform portfolio analytics and reporting, including performance measurement, exposure analysis, and risk assessment
  • Conduct research on portfolio holdings, emerging investment themes, and other strategic initiatives
  • Prepare internal memoranda and board-level investment materials
  • Maintain investment databases and utilize portfolio management systems to support reporting and decision-making

We seek individuals with a strong intellectual curiosity, a commitment to pursuing a career in investment management, a collaborative mindset, and a desire to contribute to a mission-driven organization.

Successful applicants will have:

  • A bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) from an accredited institution; coursework in finance, economics, mathematics, or other quantitative disciplines
  • Experience operating in high-performance, detail-intensive analytical environments
  • Strong quantitative and analytical capabilities, including the ability to synthesize large and complex datasets into clear, actionable insights
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including financial modeling, INDEX/MATCH or XLOOKUP, nested formulas, sensitivity analysis, pivot tables, and data validation
  • Working knowledge of core investment concepts, including financial statements, valuation methodologies, and basic portfolio theory
  • A proven ability to produce highly accurate, detail-oriented work under tight deadlines
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously
  • Willingness and ability to travel as needed
  • Authorization to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship requirements
