Harness Investment Management Inc. (Harness) is registered across Canada as a Portfolio Manager and Exempt Market Dealer, providing discretionary investment management services to individual and corporate clients.

Vacancy Status: This is for a current opening.

Compensation: $110,000 - $140,000

Job Description

Every portfolio decision made for a partner firm either deepens their trust in Purpose or costs the next decade of that relationship. We're hiring the Portfolio Manager who owns that decision - and owns turning it into new business.

What you will do/ what you will own

  • Be the advisor's first call, not the one they escalate to when something's already wrong
  • Run a proactive service cadence - scheduled portfolio reviews, quarterly business reviews with partner firms, and regular advisor check-ins
  • Build personalised portfolios that reflect real empathy for the client, not templated allocations with their name on them
  • Align trading, product, service and sales behind complex client opportunities - actively pulling in the right people to win and grow mandates, not just flagging that they exist
  • Consistently meet and exceed your growth, retention, and KPI targets

The Human-AI Partnership

AI handles some of the routine data aggregation and reporting. You spend your time where AI can't: reading what a client actually needs, resolving the complaint that could have cost the relationship, and building the trust that keeps a partner firm from shopping the mandate elsewhere.

Qualifications: What you must bring

  • CFA or CIM designation
  • 3–5 years in portfolio management, investment advisory, or wealth management, client-facing
  • Fluent in French (written and verbal), with the ability to communicate confidently with clients and colleagues
  • A demonstrated track record of meeting and exceeding KPIs
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or related field

Why Purpose

Purpose's partner network is scaling right now, and this role sits at the center of that growth - this is portfolio management built around real growth and real relationships, not routine service delivery.

Tell us about a time you turned a partner-firm relationship into more business than the mandate on paper called for.

If that's a story you're proud of, we'd like to hear it.

Why should you join us?

  • We are one of Canada's Top Small & Medium Employers' 2023, 2024, 2025 & 2026.
  • We believe in innovation and a vibrant culture - work for an innovative, people-first, financial services firm that values entrepreneurialism.
  • We believe in a flexible work structure – A flexible hybrid work model that empowers you to do your best work whether at home or the office.
  • We care about your rewards - Competitive compensation including equity program.
  • We care about your health – comprehensive group health and dental benefits and life insurance at little to no cost to you. We also offer a Lifestyle Spending Account for all your wellness needs.
  • We care about your quality of life - a flexible paid time-off policy covering vacation, sick, and mental health days.
  • We care about your family - Paid parental leave for eligible employees with a top-up.
  • We care about your future – Generous Group RRSP matching and an optional TFSA program.
  • We care about your development – We offer training opportunities and tuition support year-round.

Advisor Solutions by Purpose is an equal employer, and we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and barrier-free work environment for all employees and candidates. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply and if accommodation is required during any stage of the recruitment process, please contact any member of the People and Culture team at PeopleCultureTeam@purpose-unlimited.com. We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only those selected for interviews will be contacted.

Our work philosophy is a hybrid model allowing for flexibility and collaboration.

Applicants must be legally entitled to work in Canada. Immigration sponsorship is not offered for this role.

We may use artificial intelligence technology to assist in screening, assessing, or selecting applicants for this position. Final hiring decisions are made by qualified human reviewers.

Harness Investment Management Inc. (Harness) est inscrite partout au Canada à titre de gestionnaire de portefeuille et de courtier sur le marché dispensé. Elle offre des services de gestion discrétionnaire de placements à des clients particuliers et institutionnels.

Statut du poste : Il s’agit d’un poste actuellement à pourvoir.

Rémunération : 110 000 $ – 140 000 $

Description du poste

Chaque décision de portefeuille prise pour une firme partenaire renforce sa confiance envers Purpose ou compromet les dix prochaines années de cette relation. Nous recherchons le gestionnaire de portefeuille qui assume cette décision, et qui sait la transformer en nouvelles affaires.

Ce que vous ferez et ce dont vous serez responsable

  • Être le premier appel du conseiller, et non celui qu’il fait seulement lorsque la situation s’est déjà dégradée
  • Assurer un rythme de service proactif : revues de portefeuille planifiées, revues trimestrielles des activités avec les firmes partenaires et suivis réguliers auprès des conseillers
  • Bâtir des portefeuilles personnalisés qui reflètent une réelle empathie envers le client, et non des répartitions génériques auxquelles on a simplement ajouté son nom
  • Mobiliser les équipes de négociation, de produits, de service et des ventes autour d’occasions clients complexes, en sollicitant activement les bonnes personnes pour gagner et faire croître les mandats, et non simplement en signalant leur existence
  • Atteindre et dépasser de façon constante vos cibles de croissance, de rétention et vos indicateurs de rendement clés (ICR)

Le partenariat humain-IA

L’IA prend en charge une partie de l’agrégation de données et de la production de rapports de routine. Vous consacrez votre temps là où l’IA ne peut pas intervenir : cerner ce dont un client a réellement besoin, résoudre la plainte qui aurait pu coûter la relation et bâtir la confiance qui empêche une firme partenaire de confier son mandat à un autre.

Qualifications : ce que vous devez apporter

  • Titre CFA ou CIM
  • De 3 à 5 ans d’expérience en gestion de portefeuille, en conseil en placement ou en gestion de patrimoine, avec un contact direct avec la clientèle
  • Maîtrise du français (à l’écrit et à l’oral), avec la capacité de communiquer avec assurance auprès des clients et des collègues
  • Un bilan avéré d’atteinte et de dépassement des ICR
  • Baccalauréat en finance, en économie, en administration des affaires ou dans un domaine connexe

Pourquoi Purpose

Le réseau de partenaires de Purpose est en pleine croissance, et ce poste est au cœur de cette expansion. Il s’agit de gestion de portefeuille axée sur une véritable croissance et de véritables relations, et non sur une prestation de services de routine.

Racontez-nous une occasion où vous avez transformé une relation avec une firme partenaire en un volume d’affaires supérieur à celui prévu au mandat.

Si c’est une histoire dont vous êtes fier(ère), nous aimerions l’entendre.

Pourquoi vous joindre à nous?

  • Nous figurons parmi les meilleurs employeurs de petite et moyenne taille au Canada en 2023, 2024, 2025 et 2026.
  • Nous croyons en l’innovation et en une culture dynamique : travaillez pour une société de services financiers innovante, qui place les gens au premier plan et valorise l’esprit entrepreneurial.
  • Nous croyons en une structure de travail flexible : un modèle de travail hybride flexible qui vous permet de donner le meilleur de vous-même, que ce soit à la maison ou au bureau.
  • Nous tenons à votre rémunération : une rémunération concurrentielle, y compris un programme d’actionnariat.
  • Nous tenons à votre santé : une assurance collective complète (soins de santé et soins dentaires) et une assurance vie à coût minime, voire nul, pour vous. Nous offrons également un compte de dépenses axé sur le mieux-être pour tous vos besoins en la matière.
  • Nous tenons à votre qualité de vie : une politique flexible de congés payés couvrant les vacances, la maladie et les jours de santé mentale.
  • Nous tenons à votre famille : un congé parental payé avec complément de salaire pour les employés admissibles.
  • Nous tenons à votre avenir : un généreux programme de cotisations équivalentes au REER collectif et un programme facultatif de CELI.
  • Nous tenons à votre perfectionnement : nous offrons des occasions de formation et une aide aux frais de scolarité tout au long de l’année.

Advisor Solutions by Purpose est un employeur qui souscrit au principe de l’égalité en matière d’emploi, et nous nous engageons à favoriser un milieu de travail inclusif et sans obstacle pour tous les employés et candidats. Nous encourageons toutes les personnes qualifiées à postuler. Si des mesures d’adaptation sont nécessaires à n’importe quelle étape du processus de recrutement, veuillez communiquer avec un membre de l’équipe Personnes et Culture à PeopleCultureTeam@purpose-unlimited.com. Nous remercions tous les candidats de leur intérêt; toutefois, seules les personnes retenues pour une entrevue seront contactées.

Notre philosophie de travail repose sur un modèle hybride qui favorise la flexibilité et la collaboration.

Les candidats doivent être légalement autorisés à travailler au Canada. Aucun parrainage en matière d’immigration n’est offert pour ce poste.

Nous pouvons recourir à des technologies d’intelligence artificielle pour faciliter le tri, l’évaluation ou la sélection des candidats à ce poste. Les décisions d’embauche finales sont prises par des examinateurs humains qualifiés.
