The successful candidate will work with CPSG and the Fortress Legal and Compliance Department on all aspects of fund marketing, investment and ongoing investor diligence, investor reporting, bespoke documents created at the request of prospects and investors, and other public facing communications, LP transfers, significant domestic and international regulatory compliance, and non-disclosure agreements.

The base salary range for this position is expected to be between $175,000 and $200,000.
The base salary range proposed for this role has been set forth to comply with local law, but salary is only one element of the total compensation for this role. The base salary range suggested above does not include compensation elements such as bonuses, overtime and deferred cash (each of which are applicable in certain roles), benefits, perquisites, and company contributions to employee 401(k) accounts. Such other pay components often result in total compensation materially exceeding base salary for a particular role. Total compensation as well as base salary for a role depend in part upon individual performance, years of service, experience, geographic considerations, the performance and the needs of particular business units, company performance, and general market conditions.
