We are looking for an Analyst to join our Vancouver-based Portfolio Analytics Team.
The Portfolio Analytics (PA) Team manages a variety of functions that support performance, attribution, exposure, and risk calculations for an investment management firm managing over $110 billion in global assets. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a high impact, high skill team whose scope, visibility and importance, continue to grow.

- Investigate ad hoc issues as raised by our portfolio managers and performance analysts
- Manage processes to ensure the integrity of post-trade analytics data
- Work with internal and external stakeholders to resolve complex problems and explain analytical methodologies
What You Bring
- Education – You have a degree in Finance, Mathematics, Data Science, Computer Science, or a related field. Completion of a relevant designation, such as the CFA or FRM, is an asset.
- Passion for Technology – You are motivated by working with complex data sets and extracting insights from information through the application of technology. We work primarily in Kdb+/Q – training will be provided if necessary.
- Database Knowledge – You can understand, query, and analyze results from complex datasets.
- Industry – Experience in the asset management industry and post-trade analytics is an asset.
- Problem Solver – You possess an analytical mindset and can detect patterns to solve problems.
- Collaborative – You have a collaborative spirit that helps you to work well with others and you communicate effectively.
