InvestX was launched in 2014 with a mission to bring transparency and trust to the private equity market. We are a leading cross‑border pre‑IPO investor offering access to private equity deals that, for many decades, were exclusive to a limited investing population.
With over US$500 million in investments and 80+ portfolio companies, we work with leading North American registered firms to offer accredited investors private equity investment opportunities in companies including Open AI, Anthropic, SpaceX, Airbnb, SoFi, Spotify, DocuSign, and many more. We have successfully launched multiple SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles) and diversified funds and are currently investing in our fifth fund.
InvestX is backed by leading financial institutions Jefferies, Virtu Financial, and Canaccord Genuity and has been featured in CNBC, Forbes, Bloomberg, U.S. News, Business Insider, Reuters, The Globe and Mail, and many other publications.
About the Role
We are seeking a high‑performing Director, Investor Relations to build and scale InvestX’s direct‑to‑investor channel across Canada.
This role is focused on owning and growing relationships with accredited investors, driving capital raising efforts, and building a repeatable engine for direct distribution. You will inherit an existing book of direct investors, with a clear mandate to re‑engage, deepen relationships, and grow assets under management, while continuing to originate new investor relationships. While the role may require engaging with advisors in the wealth management distribution channel, the primary focus is on building the direct investor channel.
You are a self‑starter with strong commercial instincts—someone who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment, knows how to build trust with sophisticated investors, and can move seamlessly between presentations, client engagement, and hands‑on execution.
This is a highly visible role with direct impact on firm growth, offering the opportunity to help shape how private market opportunities are brought to individual investors in Canada.
Location:
- Vancouver, BC (hybrid – 3 days in‑office), remote in Canada possible for the right candidate.

- Consistently raise and retain assets under management within your territory.
- Own and execute against individual sales targets and KPIs.
- Deliver compelling presentations on InvestX’s private market offerings and value proposition.
