Role Overview

Goldman Sachs Asset Management's Municipal Fixed Income team is a premier provider of tax-exempt investment solutions, managing a comprehensive suite of separately managed accounts (SMAs), mutual funds, and ETFs with over $190 billion in assets under management. As a Vice President on the Client Portfolio Management (CPM) team, you will serve as a senior lead for client engagement, marketing strategy, and product development across both retail and institutional channels. While the primary focus will be on the Municipal franchise - navigating the $4 trillion municipal market with a strategic emphasis on tax-efficient income, capital preservation, and total return - you will also represent and support the broader Fixed Income platform, including investment grade, high yield, and multi-sector strategies. In this capacity, you will be responsible for articulating complex investment strategies, delivering high-level market insights, producing thought leadership content, and tailoring bespoke solutions to meet specific client objectives. Working closely with portfolio management, sales, and marketing teams, you will play a critical role in driving asset growth and platform expansion across the Fixed Income franchise
