Portfolio Manager Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• 4–8 years in credit investing, leveraged finance, or investment banking with a clear track record of analytical ownership – not just support.
• Deep fluency in high yield bonds, leveraged loans, and credit markets; you understand these instruments well enough to see what others miss.
• Demonstrated capacity to build and stress-test financial models with conviction, not just competence.
• Judgment under uncertainty – you have made calls that were yours, defended them, and learned from what happened.
• Applicants must be legally entitled to work in Canada.
• Final hiring decisions are made by qualified human reviewers.

Nice To Haves

• Ongoing curiosity to improve and learn new skillset to become best credit investor in the world.
• Experience directing AI tools (Bloomberg GPT, LLM-based research assistants, automated surveillance systems) to accelerate your workflow without outsourcing your thinking.
• CFA charter holder or meaningful progress toward it.
• Comfort operating at the intersection of fundamental credit analysis and data driven signal – you do not treat these as separate disciplines.
• A track record of identifying ideas early; you are not waiting for consensus before forming a view.
• Strong communication – you write and speak with the clarity and confidence of someone who knows what they think.

Responsibilities

• Generate alpha through differentiated credit insight while protecting downside risk – at scale, with conviction, and with AI as your edge.
• Own positions – not just analyze them.
• Contribute to capital allocation decisions, not prepare slide decks for others to make them.
• Develop and defend differentiated credit theses with clear catalysts and risk/reward frameworks.
• Exercise judgment at the intersection of data and uncertainty – particularly in stressed and distressed situations.
• Build genuine issuer relationships that surface information before it reaches the market.
• Challenge AI-generated outputs when your read of the credit diverges from the model.
• Translate macro developments into actionable conviction in a high-conviction portfolio.
• Source and develop high-conviction opportunities across high yield bonds, leveraged loans, and stressed credit – with AI accelerating your screening and you supplying the judgment on what to act on.
• Own select positions end-to-end: underwriting, monitoring, and exit decisions.
• Develop differentiated views with explicit catalysts, risk/reward frameworks, and clear theses you can defend under pressure.
• Lead fundamental issuer analysis – business quality, financial profile, industry dynamics – using AI-assisted modelling as a starting point, not a conclusion.
• Evaluate capital structures, covenant protections, and recovery scenarios with enough depth to surface the non-obvious.
• Stress-test models across base, downside, and tail-risk cases; assess liquidity and default probability with rigor.
• Actively contribute to sizing, diversification, and risk-budgeting decisions – this is capital allocation work, not support work.
• Participate in entry, exit, and rebalancing decisions as an accountable contributor, not a preparer of materials.
• Develop and maintain views on credit markets, spreads, and liquidity that translate directly into portfolio positioning.
• Direct AI tools to synthesize sector dynamics, issuer data, and macro signals – you set the agenda, AI surfaces the evidence.
• Identify dislocations and thematic opportunities before they are consensus; treat early-warning signals from AI surveillance systems as a competitive advantage to be acted on.

• Flexible paid time-off policy covering vacation, sick, and mental health days.
