Position Overview

PIMCO is seeking an exceptional, forwardthinking Senior Vice President to lead Legal and Compliance for our limitedpurpose brokerdealer, PIMCO Investments LLC ("PI"). PI drives the distribution of our U.S. registered and private funds, and this role sits at the center of that engine. As the Head of Legal and Compliance, you will join a highly collaborative, highperforming team and become a key partner in shaping the firm's distribution platform. In this position, you'll work closely with attorneys and compliance professionals to deliver sophisticated, endtoend legal and regulatory support. You will partner with PI's Chief Compliance Officer in engaging with FINRA and related regulatory matters and will take the lead in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a broad array of fundrelated agreements-from intermediary and fund participation agreements to ETF authorized participant arrangements and contracts with essential service providers.

As a trusted strategic advisor across the firm-including Operations, Compliance, Global Wealth Management, Account Management, and Product Strategy-you will guide stakeholders through complex regulatory, structural, and operational issues. You will also help prepare key materials for Board meetings and play a meaningful role in advancing firmwide legal and regulatory initiatives with rigor and sound judgment.

This is a standout opportunity for a proactive, commercially minded attorney to take ownership, influence senior decisionmakers, and grow within a global investment manager committed to excellence.
