State Investment Officer (CEO)

New Mexico State Investment Council, located in Santa Fe, is searching for a State Investment Officer (CEO) to lead this independent state investment agency managing nearly $45 billion in assets.  The SIC is the third largest U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund and ranks in the Top 30 globally.  Their assets are expected to grow to around $100 billion in the next 10 years. 

The current SIO has announced his retirement after over 13 years.  This is an exceptional opportunity to work with a highly regarded board and lead an organization with a long history of delivering strong investment performance. 

Serving functionally as the CEO, the SIO is responsible and accountable for the financial performance and operational effectiveness of the organization.  A significant portion of the responsibilities are external facing and outreach to continue the positive relationships with the Legislature, Governor’s Office, Treasurer’s Office, clients, and other stakeholders.

Leading a team of ~25, the SIO has four direct reports – Deputy State Investment Officer & Chief Investment Officer, Chief Counsel, Director of Communication, Legislative & Client Affairs, and the Chief Financial Officer & Administrative Services Director.  

The Council desires a strategic executive with a respected level of investment knowledge and an understanding of the basic tenets of institutional asset management, experience overseeing related administrative and investment functions, and experience managing external stakeholder relations.
