Vacancy Status:
This is for a current opening.
Compensation: $110,000 - $140,000
Job DescriptionEvery portfolio decision made for a partner firm either deepens their trust in Purpose or costs the next decade of that relationship. We're hiring the Portfolio Manager who owns that decision — and owns turning it into new business.
What you will do/ what you will own- Be the advisor's first call, not the one they escalated to when something's already wrong
- Run a proactive service cadence — scheduled portfolio reviews, quarterly business reviews with partner firms, and regular advisor check-ins
- Build personalised portfolios that reflect real empathy for the client, not templated allocations with their name on them
- Align trading, product, service and sales behind complex client opportunities — actively pulling in the right people to win and grow mandates, not just flagging that they exist
- Consistently meet and exceed your growth, retention, and KPI targets
AI handles some of the routine data aggregation and reporting. You spend your time where AI can't: reading what a client actually needs, resolving the complaint that could have cost the relationship, and building the trust that keeps a partner firm from shopping the mandate elsewhere.
Qualifications:What you must bring
- CFA or CIM designation
- 3–5 years in portfolio management, investment advisory, or wealth management, client-facing
- Fluent in French (written and verbal), with the ability to communicate confidently with clients and colleagues
- A demonstrated track record of meeting and exceeding KPIs
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or related field
Purpose's partner network is scaling right now, and this role sits at the center of that growth — this is portfolio management built around real growth and real relationships, not routine service delivery.
Tell us about a time you turned a partner-firm relationship into more business than the mandate on paper called for.If that's a story you're proud of, we'd like to hear it.
