Be You. Be Bold. Choose Duke.

Private Team Investment Analyst

DUMAC, Inc. (Duke University Management Company)

Be You.

At Duke, we believe great investing starts with curiosity, diverse perspectives, and a passion for continuous learning. As a Private Team Investment Analyst, you'll join a highly collaborative investment team responsible for helping steward approximately $30 billion in assets that support Duke University's educational, research, healthcare, and philanthropic missions.

You will work alongside experienced investment professionals in an intellectually stimulating environment where new ideas are encouraged, initiative is valued, and professional growth is a priority. Your contributions will help shape investment decisions that create lasting impact for generations to come.

Be Bold.

Join a team that thinks long-term, embraces innovation, and seeks investment opportunities across the globe. As part of DUMAC's Private Team, you'll gain broad exposure to venture capital, private equity, natural resources, real estate, and other private investment strategies while working with some of the world's leading investment managers.

What You'll Do

Assist in identifying, evaluating, selecting, and monitoring investment opportunities across private market asset classes.
Conduct qualitative and quantitative analyses to assess investment opportunities, risks, and portfolio performance.
Support portfolio construction, asset allocation, and investment strategy analysis.
Help develop, maintain, and enhance investment databases, AI-enabled tools, and systems that support investment decision-making.
Support the Chief Investment Officer and investment team members with presentations and strategic investment materials.
Prepare investment memoranda, reports, and recommendations for internal decision-making.
Conduct independent research on portfolio management topics, emerging investment trends, and new investment opportunities.
Participate in due diligence activities, investment execution processes, and ongoing portfolio monitoring.
Collaborate with team members to evaluate investment managers, funds, co-investments, secondaries, and direct investment opportunities.
Contribute to a culture of intellectual curiosity, rigorous analysis, and thoughtful decision-making.

Why This Role Stands Out

Broad Investment Exposure

Gain experience across multiple private asset classes, including venture capital, private equity, real estate, and natural resources. Analyze both investment managers and underlying investment opportunities spanning funds, co-investments, companies, and secondaries.

Learn from Industry Leaders

Engage with some of the world's most respected investors and investment organizations through DUMAC's extensive global network and long-standing institutional relationships.

Meaningful Responsibility

Join a small, flat organization where you'll contribute directly to investment research, manager meetings, diligence projects, and portfolio discussions early in your career.

Exceptional Professional Development

Participate in DUMAC's structured three-year analyst program, receive exposure to world-class investment professionals, and access full financial support for pursuing the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.

Purpose-Driven Investing

Help manage capital that supports Duke University's long-term mission while investing with a perpetual horizon that allows for thoughtful, long-term decision-making.
