Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (“HOOPP”) is one of Canada’s largest defined benefit pension plans. It is dedicated to providing retirement security to more than 475,000 healthcare workers in Ontario and as of December 31, 2024 holds $123 billion in net assets. It is also an organization that has been recognized as a leader in sustainable and responsible investing and has recently been named one of the Greater Toronto’s Top Employers for the fifth year in a row. With offices in downtown Toronto and London, UK, our client’s environment is fast‑paced, friendly and diverse.
HOOPP continues to grow, both in size and complexity of its operations and investments, and is therefore seeking an experienced Derivatives / Capital Markets lawyer to join its legal department. The successful candidate will be primarily responsible for providing transactional legal support to the trading desk, collateral management, securities operations and the tax teams on a wide range of capital markets investments, including derivatives, repurchase and securities lending transactions, fixed income and public equities, broker and other trading agreements, structured finance and secured lending, and will identify and manage investment legal risk based on applicable regulations and HOOPP’s risk tolerance. The successful candidate will be expected to work closely with internal investment managers advising on global capital markets transactions. This hybrid position is located in downtown Toronto and will report to the Senior Director & Associate General Counsel, Investments.
The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 5 years’ experience in Derivatives and Capital Markets transactions, gained at a leading law firm, or as in‑house counsel, with at least 3 years of experience in private practice. The individual must be highly motivated, pragmatic and self‑confident with excellent communication skills, as this person will be engaging directly with HOOPP traders and other investment managers, HOOPP’s trading partners and industry stakeholders, and external counsel. Strong business acumen, good judgment and organizational skills and the ability to take ownership of matters are required to succeed in this role.
This is a unique opportunity for a derivatives / capital markets lawyer to continue to develop their legal career and their business and management skills in a supportive, team‑focused environment. To ensure its success, the organization is committed to hiring exceptional people who will contribute their energy and talents towards achieving these goals. HOOPP offers its employees membership in its world class defined benefit pension plan and fulsome extended benefits. HOOPP also believes that equity, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to its success and help employees feel valued and empowered to be their authentic selves.
