Analyst, Private Assets Product Management

Overview

MSCI's Private Assets business is a high-priority, fast-growing area. We are building the data and AI infrastructure that the next generation of private markets will run on, including greenfield product opportunities and proprietary datasets. The GP Solutions team focuses on the needs of general partners—private equity, growth equity, venture, and private credit managers—across the full investment lifecycle. This is an entry-level role ideal for recent undergraduates or early-career professionals with an interest in private markets, financial technology, or product development. You will sit alongside experienced product managers, work directly with GP clients, and partner with research, data, and engineering teams. Your work will influence products used by leading private equity and credit managers. This is a team of builders who move fast, think from first principles, and maintain a direct line to clients and markets we serve.
