Description

Bridgeway Capital Management is seeking a Director of Product Marketing to help drive asset growth across our global market neutral hedge fund products and long-only equity strategies. This role is designed for a marketing and distribution professional who can translate a research-intensive, academically published investment process into clear, credible positioning for sophisticated institutional and intermediary allocators.

The ideal candidate has experience as a product specialist / investment specialist supporting the sale of sophisticated equity and hedge fund strategies and can engage in nuanced communication around Modern Portfolio Theory, contextual stock selection, portfolio construction, stock selection, risk management, and performance attribution. Comfort with large Excel-based reporting, institutional databases (eVestment), and asset allocator due diligence and RFP expectations is essential.

Key Responsibilities

Product Marketing & Positioning (Hedge Fund and Long-Only Equity)

• Own and refine product narratives, messaging frameworks, and competitive positioning for Bridgeway’s market neutral and long-only equity offerings.
• Translate Bridgeway’s accounting-based research innovations (published in academic journals) into marketing language that is technically accurate and compelling to institutional audiences.

• Partner with investment and risk teams to ensure content reflects current portfolio positioning, research evolution, and performance drivers.

Asset-Raising Enablement

• Support distribution efforts with OCIOs, small endowments, foundations, pensions, family offices, and sophisticated wealth platforms.  The candidate should have a good understanding of the institutional consultant universe and marketing to that space. 
• Build meeting-ready responses for common hedge fund and equity diligence topics (e.g., shorting implementation, turnover, crowding, liquidity, ESG constraints, portfolio construction, and risk budgeting).

eVestment & Database Management / Competitive Intelligence

Performance Reporting & Analytical Support (Data-Heavy)

• Manage and/or coordinate performance reporting inputs and outputs, ensuring accuracy and consistency across materials.
• Work comfortably with large data files (performance history, attribution, exposures, peer comparisons, risk metrics), including:
  • Cleaning/organizing data, building repeatable templates
  • Creating charts/tables for marketing and diligence use
  • Validating numbers across sources (accounting, risk, portfolio, administrator)
• Help elevate reporting into allocator-friendly narratives tied to portfolio construction and market context.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Serve as a bridge between investments, client service, operations, compliance, and distribution to move deliverables from concept to compliant final form.
• Help create a repeatable content cadence that supports fundraising (commentary schedule, quarterly updates, strategy insights, “research-to-market” pieces).
