The successful incumbent will integrate technology, an understanding of financial markets, and quantitative techniques to deliver value-add analysis.

As the Newest Member of our Team, You'll:

- Utilize programming skills to develop and maintain tools for investment risk analysis (e.g., stress testing, active risk, value at risk, liquidity risk).

- Manage and validate holdings and market data used in analytical models, including tracking new investment mandates and backfilling gaps.

- Collaborate with the Finance and Investments teams to ensure data accuracy.

- Streamline/automate data management workflows and reporting processes where possible.

- Conduct research to improve and expand analytical capabilities.

- Extract and communicate meaningful insights from data.

- Monitor financial market developments and apply them to risk analysis.

- Support exploratory or cross-functional projects that align with organizational goals.

To Succeed, You Bring:

- Minimum of two (2) years of work experience in a financial risk modelling or investment management-related function at an asset owner (e.g. pension fund, endowment) or other financial institution.

- A post-secondary education from an accredited institution in finance, math, statistics, computer science, engineering, economics or other related disciplines.

- Hands-on experience with a high-level programming language, preferably Python.

- Pursuing the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst), FRM (Financial Risk Management), or other related designations is considered a strong asset.

- Strong foundational understanding of different financial instruments (including derivatives), asset classes, and investment strategies.

- Experience with investment risk measurement concepts (VaR, SaR, active risk, shortfall risk) and applied quantitative techniques (regression, simulation, optimization).

- High attention to detail and rigorous problem-solving; ability to think big picture and understand investment decision-making beyond just numbers.

- Strong written and verbal communication for clear, concise explanations; collaborative team player; thrives in performance-driven environments with initiative, independent thinking, and a strong work ethic.
