JOB SUMMARY

You are a steward of the culture, participating in it and helping it to evolve in ways that integrate new team members and new organizations; accommodate growth and change; promote diversity, equity, and inclusion; and keep people aligned and engaged.

We are a passionate, mission-driven team of employees across North America and the UK. We are one year into an ambitious growth plan that will later expand our footprint into Europe and Asia as well, with teams and offices in key capital markets around the globe. We have a caring, collaborative, and high-performance culture that thrives on teamwork. We serve the markets and we serve each other, knowing that we succeed as a team.
