As Associate Portfolio Manager, you will play a pivotal role in managing a global infrastructure mandate, focusing on high-quality businesses with durable competitive advantages. This is a high-impact opportunity to join a lean, high-calibre investment team. You will be responsible for bottom-up fundamental research, global equity valuation, and thematic analysis to identify high-quality businesses that fit the firm’s investment philosophy. In this hands‑on role, you will be deeply involved in representing the firm’s investment thesis to advisors and institutional stakeholders and growing the AUM of the mandate.

• You are a high-conviction investor with 2+ years of buy-side experience, preferably within global infrastructure equities.
• You are currently registered (or eligible) as a Portfolio Manager – Associate Advising Representative with the OSC and have completed a minimum of Level 1 of the CFA designation.

This is a rare chance to take a visible seat at a growing firm where you aren't just a cog in a machine, you are a key contributor to the investment process. Beyond a competitive base salary and a performance-driven bonus structure, you will join a culture that rewards autonomy, meritocracy, and entrepreneurial spirit. The position is based in Toronto and team members are generally in the office 5 days per week.

You will benefit from a low bureaucracy, high-transparency setting where the focus is solely on delivering excellence.

If you are a disciplined investor looking to move away from "benchmark-hugging" and toward a high-conviction, focused growth environment, we want to hear from you.
