Account Associate Manager
Company Overview
Established in 1971, PIMCO is today recognized as one of the world’s leading investment management firms. With 12 international offices, we aim to provide local solutions and service to clients across the globe. Our on-the-ground presence in Europe—with offices in Amsterdam, London, Milan, Munich and Zurich—spans more than 10 years. With a successful track record in active fixed income management, PIMCO became part of the Allianz Group of companies in 2000, operating as an autonomous entity of the Group’s asset management arm. Since then, PIMCO has experienced consistent growth across the range of diversity of strategies we manage, the types of clients we service, and the assets we manage on their behalf.
PIMCO has enjoyed a stable organization throughout our history. We have attracted and retained key professionals, in part by providing a dynamic working environment and culture that rewards staff for excellence and their contribution, and partly owing to competitive financial incentives. Many of the professionals who were instrumental in PIMCO's founding and subsequent growth continue to be active in its management. We remain focused on our mission to manage risk and deliver returns for our clients.
