The role

We are looking for a driven, detail-oriented Associate to support our institutional partnerships work.

• Coordinate quarterly investor roadshows in Montréal and Québec City: scheduling, logistics, briefing notes and post-meeting follow-up

• Support due diligence on prospective manager partners: review fund documents, track records, strategy and team

• Prepare presentations, investor briefs, market updates and internal reports

• Track market activity across private credit, infrastructure, real estate and private equity

• Contribute to business development and new manager mandates

What we are looking for

• Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, commerce or a related field

• 0–2 years of experience in asset management, institutional sales, investment banking, consulting or a related field (internships count)

• Fluent in French and English, written and spoken, as the role involves regular exchanges with investors and managers across Canada

• Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills; CRM experience is an asset (Copper preferred)

• Clear, professional communication and strong interpersonal skills

• Highly organized, reliable and comfortable managing several priorities at once

• Genuine interest in private markets and institutional investing

• CSC completed or in progress is an asset
