  • Monitor the team’s decision-making process and actively contribute to it.
  • Discuss the credit market with other investment teams and represent the team at various internal and external forums.
  • Present and defend investment strategies, recommendations, and positioning to internal decision-making bodies, including the investment committee.
  • Propose and implement process improvements.
  • Participate in or lead ad hoc projects related to public corporate bonds on behalf of the general funds.
  • Mentor junior team members.

  • Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, or a related field.
  • Master’s degree (a plus).
  • At least 7 years of experience in the fixed‑income market, including at least 3 years in bond credit portfolio management.
  • Knowledge of the investment‑grade corporate bond market in Canada or the United States, including a solid understanding of major issuers, sectors, and market dynamics.
  • Understanding of an insurer’s investment environment (a plus).
  • Strong investment judgment and the ability to thrive in an uncertain environment.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with other portfolio managers, research, and trading teams.
  • CFA in progress or completed.

Required Skills

  • Advanced programming skills.
  • Specific knowledge of Python and VBA (a plus).
  • Proficiency with the Windows environment (particularly Excel).
  • Knowledge of Bloomberg.
  • Strong ability to make decisions in an uncertain environment.
  • Ability to express opinions, challenge others, and be challenged.
  • Ability to maintain good relationships with partners.
  • Clear and effective communication.
  • Basic proficiency in French, is a plus as the candidate will be required to interact frequently with colleagues and partners across Canada on a regular basis.

Why will you enjoy working with us?

  • A work environment where learning and development go hand in hand with a collective pursuit of excellence.
  • A healthy, safe, fair, and inclusive environment where potential can be freely expressed and developed.
  • The opportunity to work in a hybrid work environment, supported by flexibility and access to inspiring and innovative workspaces.
