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 escalated to when something's already wrongRun a proactive service cadence — scheduled portfolio reviews, quarterly business reviews with partner firms, and regular advisor check-insBuild personalised portfolios that reflect real empathy for the client, not templated allocations with their name on themAlign 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 existConsistently meet and exceed your growth, retention, and KPI targetsThe 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 designation3–5 years in portfolio management, investment advisory, or wealth management, client-facingFluent in French (written and verbal), with the ability to communicate confidently with clients and colleaguesA demonstrated track record of meeting and exceeding KPIsBachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or related fieldWhy 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?
