About the Team
Operational Due Diligence (“ODD”) is Albourne’s largest investment function with over 130+ employees across North America, Europe, and Asia.
We provide our clients with a thorough analysis of all non-investment related aspects of an investment manager’s business and prepare a written research report which outlines risks and recommendations. This includes reviewing an investment manager’s organization, investment operations, counterparty management, financing, valuation, information security, regulatory compliance, and employment practices.
As part of the ODD team, you will have the opportunity to review funds with a diverse mix of strategies. You will have access to work collaboratively with a large group of peers, and you will have the opportunity for self-development through access to Albourne’s significant internal knowledge sharing resources and systems.

- Mentor Associate Analysts in Albourne’s ODD process.

- Participate in project work to support the due diligence process and broader company initiatives.
