Career Opportunities

If hired, you will have the opportunity to work with some of the smartest and nicest people you have ever met. At Weiss Asset Management “WAM”, we do things a little differently. We don’t believe in hierarchy. A new hire will have the opportunity to work alongside founder and CEO, Dr. Andrew Weiss, with other senior staff, as well as with interns. We encourage questions and discussions. If you want to hide in an office, this is not the firm for you. If you want to be challenged by extremely able coworkers you will enjoy working for us. We are very careful in the offers we make.

The most successful people in the firm are not only brilliant but also creative. We are looking for people will think of a risk we haven’t thought of and will find new areas in which we can profitably invest. Everyone is expected to treat their co-workers with respect, while at the same time feel free in engaging in vigorous (and at times heated) debate over issues affecting the firm’s investments and risk management.

All employees are expected to adhere to the highest ethical standards, and to expect the same from each of his co-workers and from the firm as a whole.

All employees are encouraged to advance their skills. This typically happens mainly through mentoring within the firm, but WAM also pays for courses at universities in Boston and Cambridge, and brings in outside consultants to advise employees. As new skills are acquired employees typically advance rapidly through a wide variety of jobs.

WAM’s employee benefits include complimentary daily buffet lunches served in the employee lounge, in-house state of the art gym, bi-weekly personal trainer, weekly yoga classes, monthly in-house haircuts, professional massages, dry cleaning services, and frequent company outings to local theatres, Cirque du Soleil performances, laser tag, sailing and fishing excursions.
