Diversity & Inclusion
“We must examine how our society has failed significant populations within our community and do what we can to try to make things better from here. We can direct our resources toward social justice and anti-discrimination efforts. The necessity to shape a more fair, just and inclusive society should not be a controversial, political or polarizing issue.”
- Jimmy Levin, CIO & CEO of Sculptor Capital
Diversity Initiatives
Sculptor Capital Management is strongly committed to cultivating, maintaining and benefitting from a culture of diversity and inclusion. We believe that a breadth of backgrounds, experiences and knowledge is a competitive advantage and enhances the well-being and effectiveness of our staff. We strive for a diverse workforce as it supports our ability to provide superior service to our equally diverse client base. Our commitment to diversity is a key area of engagement with both current and prospective employees across training and development, affinity networks, charitable sponsorships, and active efforts to attract and retain talented individuals.

Recruiting
Sculptor targets a diverse candidate population through its recruiting efforts. We collaborate with collegiate diversity programs through workshops, informational sessions and job postings with a goal of building well-rounded pipeline of talent for our business management, infrastructure and investment functions. In particular, Sculptor Real Estate visits with university real estate clubs and women’s networks throughout the year, prior to its internship recruiting in the summer. We also participate in the University of Michigan’s “Trek on Wall Street,” which arranges visits, tours and engagement with key firms in prominent financial centers for selected female sophomores. These and other programs have introduced us to a number of highly qualified job candidates.
We also participate in recruiting networking events such as Women Impact Tech, in order to target experienced technology professionals.
Developing Women at Sculptor
Developing and advancing our female talent at Sculptor is a fundamental focus for the firm, from daily informal mentoring to leadership training and firm-wide events. Programs include panel discussions and networking events focused on career progression and relationship building.
Additionally, Sculptor supports external organizations dedicated to elevating women, such as 100 Women in Finance, and sponsors internal women’s career development through Declare.
